Re: Jessops high pricing
My local Jessops store missed the boat with respect to my recent insurance claim; their quote for the replacement kit came out £440 more expensive than getting the same gear from Calumet in Glasgow
Examples
Sandisk Extreme III 4GB
Jessops Price: £69.99 ea
Calumet Price: £39.99 ea - saving £30
Lowepro Slingshot 200 bag
Jessops Price: £89.99
Calumet Price: £58.99 - saving £31
Nikon D3 + 24-70mm lens
Jessops Price: £4049.98
Calumet Price: £3899 - saving £150.98
Nikon D3 + 14-24mm lens
Jessops Price: £4198.99
Calumet Price: £3999 - saving £199.99
Given this was an insurance claim, Jessops might argue against the need to price match. I'd still say that they lost out on £8K's worth of sales, whichever way you slice it - simply because they're overpriced in key areas.
