I recently (29 June 2013) purchased a Bose Lifestyle system and Soundbar from Bose Rosebank which cost R44 500.00, I asked the salesman if this was the best price and was assured that they are the authorised distributors in SA and thus offer the best prices. I subsequently purchased the goods satisfied that this was the best deal. On Sunday 21 July 2013, I walked into HiFi Corporation store in Boksburg to browse their DVD collection and to my utter dismay, I saw the same Bose Lifestyle system and Soundbar that I had purchased at Bose Rosebank advertised at R38899.00!!! (R5601.00 or 14% cheaper) I confirmed with a salesman that it was not on special and that it was the same system. I did call the manager at Bose Rosebank (Paul) on Monday 22 July 2013, and he was out, so I left a message and he called back on Tuesday 23 July 2013, telling me that they do not supply Hifi Corp and that Hifi Corp probably had old stock which they are selling!! He actually did not offer any assistance, he did say that if I require more Bose equipment, I must approach him and he will offer me a discount!!! This defintely contravenes the CPA (Right 6).-right to fair and honest dealings!!!
