Very high Courtney boot prices in Zimbabwe!!!
21/09/06 01:42 AM

I planned to buy a couple pairs of Courtney boots while in Bulawayo last month.

Went into the two main stores that stock them.

Tried the "Safari" models but didn't like their fit. Very uncomfortable. Marked as "90". The "Selous" model was far better and felt nice. Price marked as "115".

Said I would take two pairs of the Selous. Then found out it was 115,000 Zimbabwe dollars The Indian sales clerk then quoted me US$325 PER PAIR! And US$250 for the crap "Safari" model.

I told them they had to be joking at those prices.

Also seems the clown sales clerk also quoted me an exchange rate at the "official" bank rate (350:1), not the BM rate of around 550 to 620 : 1.

Lost the sale.

At those sorts of prices for a plain leather boot I can find MUCH MUCH better alternatives. The cheap boots I hunted with made in Asia are comparable in function if not leather looks to the Courtneys and cost be A$70.

Hey I see a market opportunity to get good kangaroo leather boots made to look similar to Courtneys in Asia and make a killing.
