End of season DVD-another pricing balls up

Phonovision is where it's at! Now this would be missing a trick.


But a ViewMaster would be ace, to much to hope for probably :(
 
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with our agreement with kitbag, but you couldn't quote me on it.
 
Speaking of kitbag, check the only MAn CIty item they offer on Amazon

Get Tevez to sign that and frame it next to a pic of him doing that gold swing,.. I'm a genius.
Add a game worn jersey. Oh my god I need to make this happen. And I don't even like him that much.
 
The club will just about always be maximising its profits. The deals they have in place with Amazon (and the sales they make with such companies) alongside people who actually pay the increased price at the club most likely outweighs the profits any such 'exclusivity' from the club at a reduced price strategy would make. Consider how many experts are in place for this type of thing, and how quickly it took you to say 'oh, the club could be making more profits for FFP.' Then realise that you are probably wrong.
 
Lol, has anyone seen the 5-star review from "Happy Man" of the DVD on the Amazon listing??

As a Villa season ticket holder, still hurting from a season to forget this DVD shows how football should be played. Goals a plenty from the start, drama on and off the pitch AND pipping Man Utd to the post made City my guilty pleasure.

I'll even forgive Barry and Milner for their defection now that they've put the glory-hunting, cheating-diver, over-rated Ashley Young firmly in his place.

Even without postage taken into account there is £8 difference though-people may accept the difference if it was a couple of pounds but its a decent bit more than that obviously.

And with postage you could get two from Amazon for the price of one from City and still have a pound change!

The difference in delivery might actually deter purchases. Amazon has an amazing ifrastructure, shipping, warehousing, etc will be much cheaper for them and exposes the DVD to a greater audience.

I trust our club is being run by expert businessmen. They wouldnt cock this up.

But I'll be buying mine from Amazon, that's for sure!

But seriously, it has to be down to operating costs and the desire to sell as many as possible.

Agreed, far too cheap. He'll be giving us nudge saying you'll never meet FFP at those prices, you've got to charge what we do for Champions League final tickets. You've got to arse rape the scum for all their worth because God forbid a rich benefactor subsidise a club so prices remain accessible to the working man.
 
It's basic retail economics.

When you see a shop advertising items at 50% off, they're still making a profit.

City sells the DVD to Amazon, Amazon decide what price they want to put it at. Amazon discounts items to maximise sales and drive the sales of other items (the supermarket milk effect).

The difference is particularly obvious here but the store's not screwing up, it's just not selling at a discount (in fact depending on the terms of retail agreements it might be contractually obliged not to discount for x days, that's fairly standard).
