Taken from Boards.ie - Anyone have a similar problem there???

I want to bring to your attention the 'bargain prices' being touted by Sports Savers shops in the South East. I've done some research on this, and can tell you they are vastly overpricing items, just to slash the price and make it look like you are getting a great bargain. For instance, they're selling the new Munster Away Jersey at approx. €83 down to €55. The RRP for this shirt is €57, and you are not saving really saving €28!
They've done the same thing with other Premier League shirts, as well as the clothing ranges with them. The Liverpool Home Shirt is €80 reduced to €40. I've never seen a Premier League shirt sell for €80. These are just some of the products I'm familiar with, and can confirm they are doing similar with football boots and shoes too, while it's entirely possible they're doing the same with regular clothing, etc. I fear alot of the public will not realise this on first glance.
It's clear the tactics behind this behind this are dirty, and I'm worried it's bad for other businesses, especially independent retailers. I'm encouraging everyone to check around, and make sure you're not being scammed with these 'bargain prices.'






Try adding on to this that they constantly change the "was" price going through each "50"% and "70"% sale so if there "sale" go's from 50 to 70 percent they actually mark up the "was" price and change the "now" price by about 2-3 euro to make it look completely different!!!
When has anyone seen th RRP of the Man Utd Tracksuit to be €140????
Couple of points to note:
- Selling Jerseys from roughly 3 years ago of lesser known european teams and passing them off as new "ish" ( Porto, Steaua Bucharest etc)
- Marking up and down of prices to make the customer think there getting a better deal.
