Autogeek now has a $50 mystery box, guaranteed at $125 value, also 20% off anything else, and a free bottle of Blackfire Shampoo, will also give expedited shipping at normal ground shipping costs.

Autopia has a 25% off and free shipping deal too.

I haven't even got the $35 for $75 mystery box yet. I will not buy another, I don't need another, but it's $125 for $50......arrgh!!!!!!!!
That means that the original price of $125 includes such a markup that they still make profit or break even at $50. Even if you're saving, you're still spending.

I spent a total of $91.50, (6.50 shipping) for a value of almost $300 worth of products. I haven't ever seen a 69.5% off sale at any detailing supply sellers. If you find a deal better then this, I'd like to see it.

It's like JCPenney, mark it up so much that the 'sale' prices seem unbeatable. Advertise. Profit.

Yes everyone marks up what they sell, you can't be in business without making a profit.

But again, where can you find better then 69.5% off? You can't, I am subscribed to all the detailing sites. Adams, PBMG (Autogeek and Autopia), Carpro, Detailed Image, Detailers Domain, Detailing.com, Chemical Guys, TCP Global, just the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

None of these sites EVER offer a 69.5% discount. The best you'll get is 25% off and free shipping.

Last time I checked, JCPenny doesn't sell detailing products.

I was just using JCP as one of the world's leading examples in ridiculous markups. I'm not saying its not a good deal, just that it goes to show how much more you'd usually pay.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna place an order myself, but still...

Well, does it make sense to scoff at a guaranteed 54.25% discount ($200 for $91.95), mine actually came to 69.5% as I received $300 worth of products for $91.95...........

This is what your original reply was......That means that the original price of $125 includes such a markup that they still make profit or break even at $50. Even if you're saving, you're still spending.


and then make a purchase at a 20% discount because it's a good deal?

Happy New Year

I can scoff all day, same as when my wife buys purses and shoes because they're "on sale."

Rag company is having a 15% off everything sale. Good time for new microfibers if you need them.
