BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Obviously not a mistake. They saw how much popularity there was for the away shirt with MATA 10, so they've reduced their prices dramatically on our other kits. They bulk them in bulk and sell them on - only a small profit margin per shirt, but by selling three/four shirts they recoup the same amount of profit as selling one shirt at full price. Ergo, if they suddenly sell 600-700% more than they previously were, they are overall perhaps doubling the profits they normally would. Plus they'll get shitloads of money back through people adding personalised customisation, too. Clever marketing ploy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf, how is it possible that domestic shipping inside the UK costs more than international delivery to Finland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Think i can deal with the bump in price for delivery for the price of the shirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It's weird that Sports Direct online is selling a full sleeve home shirt for 21.59 euros and the SD store near my home is selling for 60 euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Bought the away top with Hazard 17 on it and the third kit with Willian 22 on it (obviously had to type that in myself though), cost like 30 odd quid but only 19.99 for the Hazard top... still 52.98 in total for two tops with two names is much much better than paying 100 for 2 tops with no names.

svajo 153 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 now added Hazard home shirt for the same price. and I have already ordered the away shirt Nevermind, I dont have a white one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Wow. Can't see this deal lasting too long unless the other companies slash thier prices to compete. Already have a few Mata shirts from the other day but another great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 now added Hazard home shirt for the same price. and I have already ordered the away shirt Nevermind, I dont have a white one yet.Well, fuck. I would have preferred the home shirt as well but yesterday they only had the away one with Hazard's name so I had to take that.If they keep this offer up long enough I may be forced to order another one in a few weeks and maybe then I could take the home shirt with either Mata or Oscar on the back so it's fine. This has definitely been good business for Sportsdirect because even at £20 a piece I suppose they make a decent amount of profit per shirt and no doubt the sales have gone through the roof these last few days.Can't even imagine how jealous the fans of other teams are when looking at those prices and then being forced to pay over £50 for their own team's shirt.
