Hairless_Ape 76 Posted January 10, 2017 No MAP violation, because you have to click to see their lowest price. And besides, it's listed at that price or lower a half dozen other places as well. So good luck with that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,664 Posted January 10, 2017 You guys realize that MM is the local and regional sales representative for Holosun optics right? Part of that position makes him responsible to enforce the MAP requiremnts set forth by Holosun. I am pretty sure he is dialed in on what does and does not violate their MAP agreements. Also, if you are in the market for a good price in a Holosun optic, maybe just ask MM about the optics and pricing he has available instead of busting his balls? Just sayin.... Furthermore, you guys also realize that as a company, Botach's ethics are up there with Pol Pot? They aggressively steel other guys designs and then offer them for sale under the "KZ" line of gear. When the guy that designed the original gear calls them on it, they say "Go ahead, sue us. We have more $$ and more lawyers than you." Fuck Botach at any price. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njplinker 8 Posted January 10, 2017 Agree, won't give botach a dime of my money. Would definitely support a local business, but it's tough when the online pricing is often significantly better and more importantly for me more convenient, it always a tough call. I've not dealt with MM at all, I'm sure he's a great guy with a great service/product and I'm intrigued by a NJ based manufacturer, but if he was looking to bring the business in local, I'd have gone about it differently by offering up an alternative in a positive light. If you want another online alternative. $199 at optics planet and apply one of the 10% off coupons and it can be had for $180 shipped. http://www.opticsplanet.com/holosun-hs503cu-circle-micro-red-dot-sight.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blank 60 Posted January 10, 2017 At the end of the day boys online retailers are always trying to undercut and will eventually destroy the small shops or less we do something about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myhatinthering 462 Posted January 10, 2017 I would love to support brick and mortar but often, the price differential is just too great Holosun makes a nice optic for cheap 'fun' guns. You can routinely get them on ebay for around 160 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted January 10, 2017 What is the MAP price? I like to support the locals but I believe most map agreements don't cover those, add to cart or click to see lowest price. I believe it's about search engine support. I'm not looking to diss either side of this but understand the MAP for this particular device. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10X 3,296 Posted January 10, 2017 MAP is Minimum Advertised Price... it's instituted to keep the playing field level.AND to stifle competition. MAPs benefit the sellers; they hurt the consumers. Running a small business is undoubtedly harder than I can fathom, so I understand where you are coming from--but my point of view is decidedly on the other side of the issue.

Running a small business is undoubtedly harder than I can fathom, so I understand where you are coming from--but my point of view is decidedly on the other side of the issue. 10X...Running a small business is very hard and everyone is entitled to make money, but you can't when some Online dealer undercuts you. That's greedy bad business. When they kill all the mom and pop shops then they will jack up the prices and have no other choice. Both Online retailers have admitted their mistake and adjusted their pricing. Holosun is a company that provides very high quality optics at attainable prices. I use them on a daily basis and they always work when they are supposed to. That is why i work for them today. Everyone wants something for nothing. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrödinger's cat 87 Posted January 11, 2017 I look at Holosun like I got something for nothing. For a pretty good sight they are not too much money and were affordable to me when I simply can't afford to pay for the higher end optics I really want.

maintenanceguy 510 Posted January 11, 2017 10X...Running a small business is very hard and everyone is entitled to make money, but you can't when some Online dealer undercuts you. That's greedy bad business. .. It's not greedy bad business. It's greedy good business. In a free market, it's greed that motivates people develop new products, bring new ideas to market, and keeps prices down. However, I have no problem with a manufacturer setting a min. advertised price. The manufacturer believes they can maximize their profits by forcing retailers to keep prices high. That's part of the greedy free market too. If Holosun was selling water to people who were dying of thirst - it would be greedy bad business. But since they'll selling something non-essential that many other manufacturer's are also making and selling, competition will prevent overpricing of goods. It's all just greedy good business. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
