[QUOTE="colonel66, post: 416635, member: 497"] The overseas RRP are based in USD. Domestically the G1's RRP are R360k, which means G4 btw R165k and R200k based on your prices. The local price for Vivids have remained pretty inflation proof with minimal (if any) increases over the past 6 years. If i recall the original launch price for the G1 was R340k, so that is an increase of less than 1% pa Apart from the sound, the other kudos for Vivid is that they don't bring out a new model every second year to please the marketing department. The oval series is pretty much the same as it was when launched (must be more than 10 years ago). Therefor your purchase is not devalued when a new model (which in reality is not really that different from its predecessor) is launched. Laurence Dickie has not moved to SA - he designs in the UK but does visit the factory from time to time. The prices are what they are and i am sure there are some healthy margins there but in the world of luxury goods that is pretty much the way it works especially on relatively low volumes [/QUOTE]
