Blackout 7s cheaper than EMG 7s, why?

Loserchief · 03-10-2008, 03:26 AM

I just looked up if blackout 7s are readily available here in europe and found out that blackout 7s are about 40Euro(60$) cheaper than EMGs. Is it also like this in the US and do you have an idea why it's like that?

They're about $10 cheaper here.

Outside the US it's the distributors choice how much they want to sell the product for. To some degree quantity purchasing on the part of the wholesalers will play a part, the Duncan people might be making larger quantity orders which might cut unit cost and shipping charges/unit.

im guessing SD wants us to try out their pickup which is supposed to be better and more balanced than going to emg and one way would be to make them cheaper, thats my guess
