im pretty sure that the " cheap shimano " is exactly the same product as the non cheap shimano ????its just a different business model ,and i dont think the seller or the buyer will give a hoot about the middle men having a cry about missing out on there slice of the pie .

I personally haven't miss lead anyone so I'll let him address this.

But I'll say once again for the money the reel is value for money.
I haven't seen many other medium priced spinning reels catch 133kg marlin!

Here's a 100+lb bluefin tuna on a $300 reel.

I didn't look but I bet there are loads more, when I bought a Fin Nor the dealer had a DVD playing of them catching marlin on the offshore spin reels.

I agree,

But they are selling direct and cutting out the retailer.

If I did the same my reels would be cheaper but I prefer to support the industry!]]> Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:36:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80171&PID=1146199&title=canyon-spinning-reel#1146199 <![CDATA[Canyon spinning reel : I think that the Consumer Guarantees...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80171&PID=1146194&title=canyon-spinning-reel#1146194 Author: Gruntled

I think that the Consumer Guarantees Act means that Torpedo 7 has the same responsibilities as a so called proper retailer, no different in the eyes of the law.]]> Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:33:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80171&PID=1146194&title=canyon-spinning-reel#1146194 <![CDATA[Canyon spinning reel : Kevin, The retail takes into account...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80171&PID=1146189&title=canyon-spinning-reel#1146189 Author: JIMMY NAIL

Kevin,

The retail takes into account the shops margin, warranty, 1 service, all parts available. And a local agent to talk to.
It's all ways much much cheaper if you buy off the factory direct in Asia throu eBay but you don't get any back up.

So, this reel costs US$80 in China (probably less if you buy in bulk).  It is imported into the USA and they sell them for US$300.  It is being imported into NZ from the US and will sell for NZ$700.  The US$80 price would be NZ$99.35 at current exchange rates, which makes a 700% markup by the time we buy them. Everyone has to make a living, but this is getting a bit silly.  I could buy a very good Shimano reel, with a 10 year warranty, from my local tacke shop for that kind of money -and get a rod with it.]]> Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:16:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80171&PID=1146181&title=canyon-spinning-reel#1146181
