What sort of profit margin would a retailer be looking at ? 30% ? and that is on top of whatever profit the wholesaler has taken, so easily a retail cost of double the the import cost, maybe more.
One of the benefits for Pyramid is mail order. Same for European outlets, whereas in UK they have to be sold face to face by RFD, which necessarily limits sales and therefore turnover for an individual dealer. Bigger outlets might sell 50 or 100 so probably get a better deal from wholesaler than an outlet only ordering 3 or 4 at a time.
hi baz, no mate it was not cheap then that, bargain you got by the way..
It was their last one so my local gun shop let me pay £60 cash, then i can pay them the other £80 at a minimum or £20 a week. they do look after me..

To get 30% margin you multiply your cost by 1.43. So a unit cost to dealer would be £100 to sell at £143. In the same county we have a dealer that sold at £103 and another dealer at £170. To make 30% margin Pyramyd Air would be paying £54 net cost. I suppose the dealers have the right to make as much money as they can if customers are willing to pay a premium. I was in sales for 30 years and tried to get the best price for my company.

I had a hand in Bazs deal.
There was a preorder for 4 which obviously reduced the price.
There was also a return trip of 2 1/2 hours to get them.
Seems to me it all depends on how much effort you are prepared to put in for your deal.
In my case not much.
The shop involved is well known in the South ,advertises nationally and is now selling them for £112.
Amazing what a little foreign competition will do - but full marks to whoever has listed them at £112 at least they are responding to market forces rather than sitting on their hands and insulting the intelligence of the buying public
That's pretty much the UK delivered price if ordered from Germany...
Hope you're still enjoying shooting that really cheap gun!!
