Take a pill dude.
Post number 23 shows a review saying they have DT240's
Sorry for mis-reading the review about this wheelset as actually being about this wheelset.
B) Call it a holiday bonus. Call it theft. Whatever. It's off the books & disposed of with out firing up the shipping department or related costs & the loss is book value. Which anyone concerned about paying business taxes on gains would appreciate.
C) So you believe the total cost of ownership for the 4+ years this wheelset has been taking up real estate in the shop + the acquisition cost + the cost of free shipping + the accrued annual tax penalty of remaining inventory & discount is somehow less than $135?...& the vendor is still making a profit somehow? Absolute best case scenario @$135 he's still on the wrong side of $0
This is stupid. I thought it was a scam. You don't need to blast me for giving my reasons why I thought it was so.
