Club Guides cheaper from EBay and Amazon

Didn't know there were other sources, not that I need them!

I'd love to read the Clubs comments.

Here is a link to the EBay offer:

EBay

£610 on >Amazon< and if you have Prime no postage.

£610!

Costs more than the trip 😱

Only joking, I know what you meant!😊

I see the seller is Wordery. I’ve bought items direct from them before and found them fast, efficient and postage free.

Probably the standard response of "all profits are reinvested in your Club"  

I have too, in fact, I bought the 2019 guides from them earlier this year, very speedy delivery.

Does the Club usually respond to this sort of revelation - or do they keep their heads down, hoping Members won't make an issue of it?

On the face of it selling Club publications to booksellers so cheaply that they can afford to sell on to the public for 40% less than the Club's members price (and still make a worthwhile profit) is a bit odd.

I would think it was the publisher /print company who amazon have the contact to supply the guides,and as with most things that these on line companies they sell at below the RRP and if you pay for Prime then you get "free?" delivery

First and foremost this is a discussion area for help and information. You can alert admin to a particular topic by using the report button which might bring a response. I suspect it depends on whether the Club have any control over the general resale price of the guides which they won't. I imagine the Club price the guides not only to cover the costs of production but also to make a reasonable profit, which of course gets ploughed back into member facilities. If others decide to make hardly any profit out of the sale of these books by discounting them what can can the Club do. At the end of the day if it becomes uneconomic to produce these guides who loses out? Not EBay or Amazon but members of the Club so be a bit careful for what you wish for.
