discount club

[bastonjock]

guys this is just a thought,why dont we try to set up a discount scheme with one of the online chandlers?

i.e club member gets 10% discount on buys

what about bulk purchases anyone though of group buys?

there must be some way of setting up a trade account to buy marine gear at trade prices,

does anyone have experience of this?

Our local chandler (Faversham Chandlery, as someone is bound to ask) is probably 10% cheaper than most already!

I belong to the Gib'Sea Association. Don't laugh!

This august group has negotiated discounts with all sorts of people. I paid £5.00 for lifetime membership of the Assoc and if I buy from any of the people the Assoc have negotiated discounts with, I just say I am a member and they give me up to 20% discount.

So it ought to be possible for a much larger group of people (the YBW's) to negotiate discounts with suppliers. Just needs someone to do the donkey work.

By the way in the latest SYH newsletter the chandlery is offering discounted Lewmar stuff. Don't have the newsletter in front of me so can't remember how much, but could look if anyone wants to know.

Fox's have a discount card, can't remember how much you get off but 5% springs to mind

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

up to 10%... I use mine regularly!

 

[eastcoastbernie]

Update on Lewmar. 20% off from SYH for limited period.

Is that for anyone? I'm after some new jamming footblocks and a couple of snatch blocks too.

High Rollers get 10% /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I applied for a fox's card but they ignored me....probably know the state of my wallet already....

 

[Mudplugger]

you will get a lot more than that @ Heron Yacht services in Brightlingsea! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

'Is SYH's discount on Lewmar for everyone'

As far as I know, the advert didn't say anything about being a berthholder or anything. Just that it was for a limited time. Give them a ring 01473 659465

Or what about a bulk discount order for antifouling - possibly from the manufacturer?

Do you think you could get 2 people to agree on which antifouling to order? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

At least it wasn't a suggestion for an anchor order! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

We have the advantage of living near to Benfleet ( not often regarded as a plus point) and Dauntless chandlery where most things are a very good price. Last year the antifouling I use has a manufacturers label and RRP on the lid. He sells for £20 below that.

at Marconi one of our members runs a bulk antifoul buy each year - not huge savings but worth having...
