[Monsieur]

Only bought my 550 a couple of weeks ago from halfords - cost me £338 delivered. Now halfords are selling it for £419

Supply and demand

No. It seems that they had a special offer for a couple of weeks.

I think the price increase is down to Halfords not Garmin.

MRRP on a Zumo 550 is £479.99 and until recently Halfords had a retail price of £371.00 then had a 10% weekend where a kit could be had for £338.

I guess a number of enquiries fell after this date and now hey have stock again have a retail price of £419.99 which might well turn into another 10% special offer of £377.91 which is curiously about where others price their Zumo 550's.

Me a cynic? Never

... Exactamundo


... Price increase ... yer 'avin a larf aincha

... Zumo550 is already an established model in a market where margins are under pressure and the premium paying "early adopters" have long gone. The 550 will be reduced further in price before the year end (£299 offers for Christmas) and we'll all be waiting for £399 Zumo650s

... Still gonna buy one now though, I've forgotten the way to :

What will the 650 or 750 do that the 550 doesn't? Short of telepathic control, or a built-in hard-disk video recorder, I can't think of how it would be improved.
