Less money = less purchasing. Maybe math wasn't your strong suit.

Ok, let's talk math.

How much is this Public/Private internet partnership, grant and loan system, going to cost taxpayers?

You don't have a clue, but you're already against it.

Fail.

Go buy a snake flag.

It's free silly....or at least that is what the government is going to tell you.

So what you're saying is 101, is that I can't get the same prices as you do locally.. Strange, wonder if I could keep more money in my pocket if I used the internet to garner the same deal as you do?


Almost like its a useful tool for getting what you want affordably.

The point is, what is the incremental cost for reaching everyone, versus the benefit gained? It'd be impossible to reach EVERYONE anyway......It's not like everyone lives in subdivisions where service can be added to everyone all at once.

That's a killer deal.

Typical racer price here is $385.

I pay $360 as my "hooked-up" price. Looks like I have to renegotiate.

Yeah...I think he is going to kick up the price after the New Year...he was selling them for 310 OTD installed on the rims as a blowout for the rest of the year. I need to get another set at this price, but I just put a new set of softs on 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, but you are cutting out the middle man and therefore will reduce jobs.

I'm not sure what type of tire you are buying for 500 bucks....even the new Michelin Power Ones are not that high.

Exactly...this is something the government won't even care about.

I was using it as an example. But, a set of michelin pilot road 2's down the street at pro cycle would be over 500. About 300 for a rear, and 220 for a front.

A good deal around here is about 460 installed on corsa 3's. The only way to get a good price is to order online from Montreal or south of the border.
