    Sam Trainer Brand New - £200

    in For Sale

    Posted · Edited by demonloop

    I have been given this trainer and told to move it on, in order to raise funds for my County Ass.

    It is BRAND NEW, and has been sitting in someone's study for several years.

    It connects via a parallel printer port, so you'll need one of those, and the software only works with Windows XP

    The plugs are European so you'll need 2x adaptors too.

    I have the correct software on file.

    The instructions are in English.

    I have plugged it in and it is working perfectly! See the new photos below. Where else can you get a brand new electronic trainer, working perfectly for £200 ono? Even if you don't have a PC with a parallel port/XP, they're on eBay for about £60!

    Postage within the UK included in the price.

    Issf Wind Flag Ribbon

    The weight is correct - I've made the flags for Police & Fire Games using it.

    That's hillarious. Have you found any green, white and gold fabric too?

     

     

    Believe it or not its the ONLY ribbon, in any colour, plain or striped, that was bang on ISSF spec for weight.

     

    Id have preferred plain yellow or some other luminous colour, but it wasn't available without going custom made.

     

    That said, it has been a cross-community production process, which should balance things out a little :)

    I could list a hundred reasons for the disparity in prices between UK and EU, the most significant, in my opinion, are:

     

    1) UK importers having margins which are, well, too much.

    2) Shipping costs from EU to UK - some of this gear goes roadfreight which is very expensive.

    3) Pricing differences set by the factory - not all countries buy at the same price.

     

    I could go on, but I do agree that there is still too much of a price difference. UK shooters were robbed for years, until recent times when things changed and goods became more directly accessible by retailers. Have a look at the price disparity 5 or 10 years ago and you'll see its narrowed significantly.

     

    As a retailer (or e-tailer) I'd prefer to be able to compete better with the Europeans, but it just isn't possible with the price we buy the stuff in at.

     

    The margins we work to are small, as I'm sure many on this board will know. If we were obtaining huge margins, I'd be typing this from Orlando, instead of Omagh :glare:

    A browse through de and ital sites showed a uk euro rate of under 750. I imagine this will keep dropping at present rates. Have you seen egun.de recently even new weapons are substantially below uk list price! The sites are all accessible via link page on European target shooting fed site. I will post link if I have to find it again, most of the site have English translation. Uk retail sites for shooters are v.poor on value.

     

    Anyway back to the point any one have one of these used?

     

    Like a previous poster asked, can you provide links to these SCATTs under EUR750? I just checked a few German sites and can't find any.
