I'm sure i'm a little slow and having a hard time understanding your comment. hope it is pleasant. i just wanna to be on a trout stream which is not easy where i live. no Harley needed as the speed would get me the 1st time i buried the needle which i would attempt my first ride. G I'm refering to the initial post by Bob on Orvis being so expensive. If you wanna wear the name, you gotta pay the price. Does John Deer make a better tractor, no, but they have a name many farmers want to have on their tractors. When Perkins sales team sets their prices for their latest catalog, they know their stuff doesn't cost more to manufacture then Cabellas, or LL Bean. They also know that some will pay the price to wear/carry the Orvis name. So, they price accordingly. I have alot of Orvis gear. I was told long ago by a man I highly respect, that it's the best. So, now I'm hooked and won't break away even though I can't really afford it. It's called good marketing.

It's called good marketing. No, it's called credulity.....pathology.....something like that. Wolfgang oh, and that person you highly respect?.......you shouldn't. |
