    Daydreaming my way through boards.ie and came across a mention of richersounds.ie and thought I'l love a new bit of hi-fi. Visited "Richer Sounds Ireland" and found the NAD C445 tuner and my heart melted. £299.95 they wanted. richersounds.what? Anyway, what's that in real money, €325 or so? Ah, there's a currency chooser over there. Click. €449.95. :eek: <Snip>

    Doesn't deserve a response, but certainly does deserve to be reported.

    I've just seen the post above - if anyone wants to report such a post in future, please PM me - I spot them quicker than "Reported Post" notices.

    Thanks,

    Those are/were the prices quoted on the website. I'd love to hear some explanation about the massive price differences.

    It's not some underhand ploy, they just haven't updated the exchange rate on their website in ages. Their .com site has more stuff on it so it's usually better to check there. If you mail or phone they'll give you an accurate euro price for whatever you're after.

    I've bought my hi-fi from them and it was a damn sight cheaper then anything I could have got down here. Cambridge azur 340A SE amp, 340C CD player and S30 speakers. It a great system and I'm well pleased with it.

    Check the other threads and you'll see nothing but recommendations from happy customers.

    An Poster,

    Apologies for the delay in getting back to you - yep it's completely our fault - this is a finished line for us ages ago and we have not updated / deleted the product - as some of the other posters have already said - we offer daily updates on exchange rates on request and today's rate for example is .88.

    We woud normally always advise Customers to purchase in sterling off the site - however again if anyone would like a spot éuro quote - just drop us a line or give us a bell and we will oblige - as other posters have said we always match the pricing on www.richersounds.com which is a much more comprehensive site.

    Apologies again for the inconvenience and please do drop me a line if I can assist in any way,

    ATB,

    John Mc & Crew

    John McDonald / Managing Director / Richer Sounds Ireland / www.richersounds.ie / johnmc@richersounds.ie

    Mod Comment:

    I'm closing this thread as the poster's question has been answered (with better grace than the manner in which the question was asked - no surprise there).

    I'm amending the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING" Stickey to include a mention of the need to be civil and avoid any comment which could be regarded as abusive - to date I haven't needed to state what practically everyone who has visitied this forum since 3rd July 2008 took for granted - well, there's a first time for everything, unfortunately.


    Ritz.
