Heard some rumor from the shop salesman that the price of lenses are going to go up soon... any truth in that? usually its a sales tactic... but if there's truth then maybe should decide soon...
many salesman or only one sales man? from olympus or from where?
now economic is not doing very well, i believe major brand will oso hold on to release any pro body. Maybe E3 replacement will oso hold back in announcement till economic get better?
they shd be cutting price to clear whatever not moving instead of going up. make sense? haha
Hey yanou...if prices are going up, the logical thing for you to do would be to buy now! If uncorroborated, I'd take it with a pinch of salt. After all, it could be a scare tactic to get you to buy more stuff before the prices go up.
world economic bad -> sales drop
company need $$$ -> need more sales
need more sales -> price of lens drop (discount selling)
which is why i didn't jump in immediately... call it rebellious... but every time a sales person says that i'll just walk away giving him a weird look... its a sales person from CP... and no i heard nothing from oly... which is why i'm checking with you guys whom are more well travel
Hmmm maybe is true as the currencies of many countries have fallen quite a bit against the yen....so in order to maintain the same profit, price will have to increase. See the example of Canada but is only one salesman so maybe he was trying to get you to buy :bsmilie:
You've got a limited tax exemption for going overseas, but bringing back a new item over that exemption without declaring and paying tax is technically a crime. So if you're gona try that, make sure you don't get caught.
