Draggin jeans ripping off NZ customers????

**marmel** · 30th May 2005, 18:30

Have a look at there site, www.dragginjeans.co.nz. I am looking at the combat pants. If you select NZ$ as the currency the price is $239 plus $20 shipping. If you select US$ as the currency the price is $100US plus $25US for shipping, a total of about $170NZ. Are we being shafted here???

I wonder what they will charge? I haven't checked.

Cycletreads in Christchurch is a Draggin Jeans dealer.

I got mine for FREE! I won january's prize draw....and damn fine pants they are too! But strictly for dry weather and not too cold cos the wind does go through em if you exceed the open road speed limit.

It looks like this products price hasn't been adjusted for the 'new' USD exchange rate - still running at about 42c to the NZD.

We live in a small unknown country at the end of the world, if you want better buying power move to friggin 'murika.
Why do you think supermarkets have lower prices than dairy's?
Learn some economics.

Yes,people need to step back and look how they earn a living themselves....and how justified are their own prices? Knock our own retailers and don't support them so they can create sales volume to get prices down.It's a global market and NZ had better wake up? Some day online may be all you've got,knowing who you buy products from will be a thing of the past - can't come soon enough for me,salesmen are parasites on society....

Without armour they are really only useful for protecting yourself from scraping yoor knee falling over outside the pub.

Buy some real protection gear & stop wasting your time.

Spoken like someone that has never had to sell anything complicated...

I used to think that way until I tried selling. Sure there are some carpet baggers out there but I've never worked longer hours or been so exhausted....
