Firing Line's New Transfer Fees-Price Gouging

[C Ward]

It's always amazed me that people complain about the fee's charged for transfers for stuff that was bought from the competition . When did it become normal in any business for someone to source there own products from a 3rd party and then expect a local vendor to facilitate the sale for something they sell themselves ? I don't see how any resonable person can expect a business to make concessions for events that were created by 3rd and 4th parties that is beyond there control . That's like saying that " I was gonna buy gas last week when it was 2.50 but now it's 3.00 you should sell it to me for 2.50 " .

the dealer doesn't have to do transfers. It became normal when the business advises they offer transfers

So this means they can charge what is felt by them to be fair market prices for the service . The OP stated that they and the 3rd party vendor are the ones that delayed the purchase , I fail to see how any of that falls to the shop facilitating the transfer to be responsible for .

Keep buying online from vendors with no stake locally and pretty soon your going to be SOL with nobody left to transfer stuff .

Or remember the good ol daze when transfers were $75!
