I bought a coffee machine before Xmas for a present, the same machine was in the sales for £80.00 less. I know after Xmas there will always be sales, but i needed it for the big day, so its the choice i made. I also bought a new van, 3 months later it was reduced by £3500 in a price slash, but i needed that van 3 months earlier. If we all waited for sales throughout the year, companies wouldn't do business and probably wouldn't be around to have sales!

nice discounts but not impressed as just bought another extreme 47 at full price and havent even used it yet

Maybe  Alex should have given everyone a 6 month head start on when the products were going to be reduced.  That way he would have had more to sell at a discount.  Would that have made you happy?

Get real ! It's not how commerce works.

Alex, can i place a deposit on a SLX25 then buy it in April (new tax year)?

I'm sure that this would not be a problem. Please ring the office on 01726 66400 and explain what you would like to do and they can arrange this for you.

UPDATE:

I have received an email this morning from our MD which says the following:

"there can be no deposits, or waiting lists, or reserved orders. It has led to so many problems with previous pole orders. Also we can't set up an order and take part funds including vat in one quarter and then finalise the order and payment in another quarter, accounts wise it's a nightmare and its irregular from a vat point of view."

Apologies for not checking this first before posting a reply.

That's ok, I was chancing my luck! Will this sale apply if buying from a stockist of yours, is; sure clean systems, n.ireland?

Not automatically. It will depend on exactly what stock they have of the carbon poles.

No, Alex is the Chairman of the Board which means he can overule the MD if he really wants to but on day to day business decisions it would be wise not to as the MD has been appointed for that express purpose.

And if the MD cooks his tea and shares his bed he had better behave! And if the MD is his sister he still has to play nicely.

The MD is my younger sister which means that I really have to do what I am told 

As I do not have to run the office, managing staffing, look after accounting and VAT  I generally listen to what she says in these situations.

Must be difficult having to do what your wife says as well as what your sister says. At least I only have the wife ordering me about.

Hi Alex. I spent nigh on a grand with you earlier this week. I would have spent another, but I bought what I needed already!  I don't think my stuff was in the sale anyway. Would have liked another extreme 25 though.......

[g.brookes]

this is very exciting!

Stop moaning man, you were on here telling us of a national contract you had won.
That day you were lucky, earlier this week it ran out

Does anydody know when the sale is on until?

It will continue until we have sold out of all our current stock of poles. I anticipate the sale lasting at least until the beginning of April. It is worth bearing in mind though that some of these pole sizes will sell out sooner than other sizes. Xtreme18s have already sold out - SLX18s and SMAX50s are also getting low from internet sales over the weekend.

This bold statement lacked credibility

It was a bold statement but it became rapidly apparent on Monday that I needed to keep a handful of pole sizes back for clients who really need certain sized poles, not just a sale pole.  Technically the SLX range is still on sale as each pole comes with a free carbon gooseneck and brush worth £55.

We have already emptied our shelves of the SLX18 and the SMAX50 - you will continue to see this happening as we go through March as the various sizes sell out. We will not be re-stocking these poles.
