$4836nzd vs $3k aud…

You could literally fly over buy one, have a big night on the piss and come home, we could call it a holiday on Hardy.

Do what I did… fly over, have a holiday, have a few nights on the piss and buy one.

I guess if enough people contact NF and complain about the price gouging and explain it’s why they aren’t buying NF products in New Zealand then maybe a different company might get to be the distributor.

I’d love to buy my NF scopes in New Zealand, but I won’t at those prices.

I think this has already been done and there was a thread on it here, nothing changed

I would say that would be unlikely. From experience usually distributors pricing is based on the volume of equipment they put thru. It may just be that they simply don't have enough buyers to reach the next (better) price break. I would imagine they would be based on 100's of units for each model.

For the distributor I work for the price breaks depend heavily on the product in question. Expensive stuff (my can be priced per item but cheaper stuff often is priced per 10, per 100 or per 1000 units) with better discounts accordingly. The more you buy the cheaper it gets

So it may be out of the suppliers control regarding priceing in a lot of cases.............not defending anyone, just saying!

Common in some industries but I suggest not likely in this instance. That strategy would only result in a net loss of sales to Nightforce as it just results in them being priced out of market. With your example the retail price usually remains similar and it’s just the seller that has a reduced margin.

Unfortunately with an apparent monopoly on Nightforce sales in New Zealand we won’t be able to measure just how greedy hardy is… plenty of sellers in Australia to compare however
