Drat! A2A Connie at Just Flight

[JohnWillimas]

Feeling peeved. I finally decided to shellout for the A2A Connie (and I'm pleased with it) via the A2A web site where, after dollar conversion to £ it cost me £50.20. I now see Just Flight have it at £39.99. Grr!

(But good news for anyone else planning to acquire it)

Hi John, had replied to you but I then deleted my post as I thought (stupidly) that you were referring to the Just Flight Connie!!

Had to take another look and there it was as you wrote, £39.99. I was going to buy it through A2A which is presently £47.85 Sterling but now I will purchase from just Flight and save £8.........Have also put a question on their Forum asking if this is a new marketing strategy as I don't see any other aircraft from A2A on site.

Many thanks for the HU John for I doubt I would have seen that.

Regards
Nigel.

As per.. you're not looking hard enough. JF have been selling A2A models for a while.

Strangely, FS Pilot Shop is also selling at $US59.99.
I wonder why A2A decided to sell their own product for more

It's a funny world, when individual aircraft cost more than the world wide simulator that they run in.

It's $59.99 at A2A as well isn't it Mike? Question is.. why is it a bit cheaper at JF.. not that it matters. All good as far as I'm concerned

This sort of thing always pee'd me off when I was a publican. We had to buy stuff from our own brewery at one price yet the same stuff was on sale to other pub companies for less

From the above, we were told that JF was cheaper. I only looked at FSPS because I received an email about the Connie.
I just checked all 3 sites, and all of them list it as $59.99.

Mike..

I just checked the currency conversion online and $59.99 USD equates to £49.22. JustFlight have it on sale at £39.99

Just hope that it will still be £39.99 week on Sunday.

Think the higher prices may be down to the fact that even if you pay in sterling these other sites probably deal in American Dollars only and the exchange rates reflect that. Checked on Mikes' country if he bought the A2A Connie at 82.61 Australian Dollars, changed that to sterling and it is £50.71 equally if converted to American Dollars it is $61.82 which is higher.

Confused as usual.

It's a pointless gesture converting from AUD to GBP then USD mate. The Aussie dollar is what it is against the USD and is struggling a little more than the old UK pound. It's still $59.99USD unless you grab a deal at JF.. which I won't be even at that price.
