Hello All,

Im looking for 5 AEV Saverge Wheels and I have noticed they never go on sale. Is this brand price fixed (like apple products)?

Thanks again!

Yep they are. AEV tells the dealers what they can sell for and keeps very close attention to it. The best deal is gonna be free shipping. This is becoming an industry standard known as MAP pricing. Minium advertised price, if you dont follow it they cut you off.

I looked at a lot of places before I ordered my Pintlers. I ended up ordering through Dave at Northridge 4x4. Awesome service!!!

LOL.... I do dislike companies that "MAP" prices. However, they make such nice stuff. I wish they would at least hook up the forum...

Stoped it??? HA HA HA They passsed a law a few years ago allowing it! The mfg's got tired of their products prices "undermining" the quality of the products. In my industry this is a huge issue. They give us huge discounts and then complain we are selling their products to cheap. It's a big WTF.
