I've been selling Shimano R55C4 brake shoes (2 pairs per box) at a bargain price for quite some time (→see here)
but due to repeated price increases on Shimano parts (the linked article is from 6.5 years ago),
I had raised the price by 30 yen, but that's become unsustainable, so
I've decided to repackage the bulk 50-pair boxes into individual packages for resale.
Just to be clear, I'm not doing anything shady like selling bulk stock without mentioning it
at prices above the manufacturer's suggested retail for individually packaged items (→see here).
Here's the current pricing as of today.
↑Please stop calling repeated price hikes "exchange rate adjustments"
Using the standard 491 yen per pair as a base, I'll be selling these at my usual bargain price in the shop,
but I can't post the actual price here, so I'll put it up in the usual place.
The box has a divider inside with two bags. One bag contains 50 right shoes only and 100 shoe holder screws,
and the other bag contains 50 left shoes only.
If I just let customers grab directly from these bags,
there's a real risk of shortage or oversupply due to loss or mispacking.
So I've repackaged everything individually here at the shop.
I'm offering both 2-pair and 1-pair options.
The unit price is the same either way.
Though the bagging cost is double, it's true
The screws are included as well.
All individually packaged.
By the way, our shop employs a rigorous Double Bulldog Test inspection system (※)
to ensure no packing errors occur.
※For the parents at home:
This is different from the Double Blind Test.
"Wait!? The bag I bought contained four right shoes AND eight screws!?"
↑This will never happen, so please rest assured.
