Viberg
-
Do any of the Board members from Germany have any opinions on the price of Viberg's from volls.de? Are they just as expensive if you buy them on-site, or is it just the cost of shipping included in the online price that is pushing the price up so much?

^ gotta ask Klaus for the answer mate!
on the other hand, if you want viberg,you have to pay viberg. pretty simple imo!
and o/course since the shop (volls) does live from selling things, it's damn sure that they can't sell for the same as viberg.com does, no!? -
Nice ones Friday! Big ups mate!

Ref the prior comments, I'm surprised Viberg don't just sell their own product in full. Cut out all the middle men and expand there selection. I guess that way 100% profit is for them. Not that I'm a businessman, but at least you know there is only one place to go to get them. Morgan might need some extra help on the shipping tip though..

It's different biz model is all. Why do vendors use distributors at all when the vendor is well known to begin with?
Empowering distributors gets boots infront of more people real world, also allows them to be seen with a range of other products that go well together. The distributors/retailers selling get the profit as a result, so the market grows with +1 boot real-world as far as Viberg are concerned. Summary; they likely sell more boots by keeping distributors in the mix..

I guess in the end its all about money really. I totally understand what your saying though Wade, just funny they bring out a model and it's gone in weeks. Perhaps the work/exposure part of what you are saying is now done, but they are flat out keeping up it seems. If it was all back in BC maybe they could focus on themselves a little more. Hahaa, plus myself being totally selfish, I hate having to look at all the places they are selling to see what's in stock, being made etc etc.. A man could get clicketty click square eyed disease or something for goodness sake!! Hahaa!
I've never been one to support mass consumerism I guess… on the other hand I believe they are not going to drop the bar because of demand.. Hahaa! Prob raise the bar on price!
Anyway.. Just a little crazy ol hermits (who likes good worldly things still) view. Leather up Bagawans!!

Now that!! Has hair on it!! Sucks Natehate!

You sure about that, Sam?
I haven't done it myself, but here is a post guy made about a week ago over at SF:
While MTO is no longer an option we will produce a boot that is currently listed on viberg.com to spec in an unavailable size as long as we have the materials. We've already been doing this for customers actually. As long as none of the details stray from the build on the site then we'll go ahead and make it for the exact same price.
