Spartan "Assembly Kit" for 75,- €
on: May 26, 2014, 02:58:54 PM
Please  - Do buy those, so I don´t feel tempted.

Having seen them offered for about 200,- $, I think this is a fair priced offer.
I am not affiliated with the seller and don´t know anyting about him.

I asked in the Cologne Flagstore, and the salesman that this cases are a kind of voucher, and that it would cost 29€, if I remember correctly.

So I find the prices on the www for them pretty steep. I wasn't interested in a Spartan, so I don't know if I remember that correctly. It was nowhere near 75€ or 200$, though...  :pok:

After a little Google search:
30 CHF

25€ assembly at the store, Düsseldorf

Als Preis hat man mir ca. 25€ genannt und man sollte von 30 min Zeitaufwand ausgehen.

This fits with my memory. I was told, directly assembling one at the store would be cheaper, as they wouldn't need to give me one of these boxes

I don't know when I will be in Cologne again, but I try to rember asking for these Boxes and the price.

Did I mention I hate it if people grossly overprice an item, hoping to scam a buyer?   :police: :_c:

Definitely check out the flagship store, I remembered I got mine a little more expensive, around 39GBP at the London flagship store.  But it is still a better deal for me, if I were to order it online from an expensive source.

Thank you. That happens when I get angry!  :rofl:

Yesterday I thought: You have to make your 1000th post something memorable.  :think:

Today I thought: Which son of +#%$!? does charge 200$ for something costing a quarter of that? and channelled my inner Hulk.  :rant:  :viking:

If anybody wants one, I guess we can find a way.
