If you're coming in to have my fitter fit your into three different options so that you can go ebay shopping, then yeah, I'm raping you. But buy from me and we'll call it even.
I've seen the cost of a full irons fitting (ditto for a driver fitting) and IMO, those prices ARE rape. Call it what you want. I'll call it as It see it.
I never said overcharge. I think the full price for fittings is a little "rapey". Others may not and that's o.k. we all spend our golf dollars as we see fit. To me, $300.00+ for a full bag fitting is over the top (again, TO ME). Others may find it as a bargain.
My philosophy doesn't change. If I ran the shop, put you through a fitting, and you purchased your clubs from my shop, the fee is waived. If not you, pay full price, here's your print out, have a nice day.
here is the thing that a bit unsettling to me about what you say. Fwiw..you at first did say "im rapping" you. And so you cant blame me for questioning that mode of thinking. But ok....so you then tamed that down to then say that you feel the price for it is rapey. With that your basically admitting the prices are too high. But you don't indicate you wouldn't also charge that same rapey price.
So from you and your business its a......."mr customer"...….."here is your rape priced (bill), now go away and have a nice day".
I mean even though you feel the price is too high and is raping the customer you would still charge it instead of charging something that is fair and reasonable. That is the part that Im not getting here.
What is so wrong about charging your customer an honest fair fee (a price that you don't feel is rapey) for an honest service and just saying thank you, come again we are always here.
Are you seeing the connection (or disconnection) here?
