Hi ladies -
I have been going to the same LBS that I bought my bike from - the guy is REALLY helpful. His shop has the best variety of women's gear (his wife is an avid cyclist, which I think helps) so I try to give him my business.
There have been a couple of instances lately though - where I feel his pricing has been a bit....off. And I am not sure what to think.
I am trully broke from buying all the stuff needed to cycle comfortably - and finally had to break down and buy a 2nd pair of shorts (due to commuting/riding frequency, etc). 2 days ago I picked out a pair (at 79.99 they were on the cheaper end of his assortment) and figured....well, it's an investment.
Today I was doing laundry - and looked at the tag to get drying instructions - and saw (under the Pearl Izumi tag) these shorts were from the Spring Season 2002 collection.
YIKES - not like there's anything wrong with them - but 80 bucks for a pair from 4 years ago?
Am I silly for feeling like they should've been marked down or something?
Should I say anything? or just let it go?
The other thing was when I had mentioned I wanted to try this stuff called "Brave Soldier" he jumped on it and ordered a case. When they came in - my bf went to pick it up, and he priced it $2 more than the MSR and about $6 more than Performance. It's not really the amt as much as the principal.
Any advice?
