Ilford - 10% reduction of all Delta films until 5th July
Ilford's latest offer and it give me a chance to announce a change of my policy in making these announcements
In the future I'll do a quite check to see roughly where this leaves Ilford prices vis a vis our own sponsors. If the offer doesn't really offer anything or very little then I'll pass on the announcement. I admit I only checked on D3200 film in 120 but even with 10% off it still leaves Ilford's price appreciably higher than say AgPhotographic and even higher when you compare Sharif Photographic Supplies. I cannot work out Ilford's strategy behind these series of limited time offers although this one is at least 7 days, if the offers are not really offers. I suppose that if Ilford is aiming at the whole film user populace then there may be enough people who do not track prices to make it a worthwhile strategy. Maybe we have moved into an era where any percentage reduction is seen as an automatic bargain. I am reducing the price of my house this weekend by 50% Just a pity for prospective buyers that it was 60 % overvalued in the first place I can feel an attack of jaundice coming on so I'll stop now Mike |

Lemme check the math here... If A is new price, and B is current market value, then A = (B x 1.6)/2 A= 1.6B/2 A= 0.8B or 20% below market value See? A bargain to be had here. Pull the For Sale sign off the lawn, lower the blinds and bolt the doors (Mike's jaundice gets 50% worse right about now...)

You've totally baffled me there Svend, but I'll take your word on the maths!

What I was of course driving at was that if the normal price is grossly overvalued then when I take a lot off the price it still leaves me in considerable instead of very high profit . I should have drawn the parallel with a famous U.K. furniture company that on every bank holiday the directors of which "lose their minds" and in a moment of madness sell the three piece suites with an amazing mark down and this, surprise, surprise, reduces the price to more or less what the real market price is. These directors are complete clowns, you the gullible consumer, are supposed to think and you then take advantage of this clownish behaviour. They are in fact the kind of clowns who clown all the way to the bank Mike |
