I checked with Andreas today and he said they would not be offering a 20% discount like last year, so you did right to go for it before someone else did!
Waiting for more discount i could have been too late

Are you really sure he´ll give more discount the next week? I think i did it right to buy now and don´t wait for more discount. This one was the 72€ worth for me.

I saw the mention of 'discount' and thought it was another dealer
I think we know who I thought of.

As I had reported earlier in this thread, Andreas (Kai's helper) told me there would be no 20% discount. We'll see if he is a man of his word. I think you did right Rudiger! You must not hesitate on the must have pieces or they will fly to another collection!Originally posted by Seewolf View PostAre you really sure he´ll give more discount the next week?

The 20% discount was announced today. I was specifically told there would be none. In fact, here's a copied and pasted message from Andreas that was part of an e-mail regarding an item I purchased. I was trying to negotiate a price and asked specifically if a 20% was planned...
Hello Mike
We are not offering 20% discount this year.
We can send it by FedEx (overnight) - its Euro 20.- // full inshured
or
by registered airmail letter - its 10.- // inshured with Euro 35.-
Regards
Andreas
It's not too surprising. They want you to buy at the higher price, but I don't like being mislead. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say they changed plans after saying there was no 20% discount.

That´s typical for dealers, but that´s how the business goes today
In my case i now paid about 4,25€ more that i would cost now with 20% discount. But the e-boat is safe in MY collection, and that was the 4,25€ worth

Today i also received the discount mail and immediately i thought of this thread.
What do we learn? Never trust a dealer i think...
Be that as it may, still a great E-boat, Rüdiger
Best regards

Even with the 20% discount, these dealer prices are still quite high ...
Unless you buy a nice wartime cased RK , then you get 1500 Euro discount.

Wow, a real bargain 
Even with this 20% discount there is enough money left for the dealer....maybe for a new Porsche, or Lamborghini

You did great on this one Rudiger! To dock it safely into your harbor was more than worth 4,25€!!!Originally posted by Seewolf View PostBut the e-boat is safe in MY collection, and that was the 4,25€ worth

I wonder who that annoying Dutch guy might beOriginally posted by Seewolf View Post...that arrive in my harbour
I have only seen 2 early e-boat badges this year for sale
One went to a well known dutch collector and the other one is now mine 
So both pieces are in the family 
But this is a very nice and IMO a very early badge.
Nice fleet you are building also.Comment
