Specials and Deals

We often get calls about "specials" and "deals" to our shop. One of the issues which limits what we can and cannot say is the dealer agreements that we have with our suppliers. For our bike suppliers, we often have to be uniform on retail price points. These points are what are current, particularly for all of the new models in a given line. For example, the currently advertised retail price of a Seacrest 3 speed cruiser is $464.99, and though there may be in-store specials, those cannot be communicated except in the store.
Many people may look for a deal, but not all of those know how to request one in a way that is reasonable to our shop. So the best way to check is to actually come in!
