Hi

I want a new ipod (as i lost my old one) and have been looking about different shops in dublin (ive checked online and know they are cheaper but dont fancy the wait....) Anyways, every shop i go into has the ipods at the exact sane price, 140 for nano, 220 for ipod touch. So im wondering does anybody know if the have to sell at a fixed price. I find it very strange (and uncompetitive) that no shop has tried to under cut the others.
Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks
Karl
 
As far as I know the margin on Apple stuff is quite low for resellers, so the retailers don't have that much room to manoever - hence the relative uniformity on price

It's the same on loads of electronic items such as iPods and game consoles.

If this is the case, then what can ya do!? If not it realy does go against competition law. Whats the point in shopping around it everything is the same price!! You can buy and ipod touch for 200 dollars and they want 220 euro here!!! Frustrating! If you can plan ahead you get it all for half nothing online.
 
i bought my daughers on line from apple shop and you can get it inscribed etc at no extra cost and it was delivered in under 7 days..
 
AFAIK Currys are selling them for €120 for the Nano (to match UK prices).

I think they are cheaper in the North and the UK. Haven't checked prices recently.

I priced the Nano in the North recently and they were all 99 stg or 109 stg.
With the current exchange rate, it is very little saving compared to 140 euro
