Van Staal service charge is still $36.95

[fishpoopoo]

the price of everything is going up.

+health care
+energy (although down from peak levels)
+higher education

+and now I'm hearing agricultural grain prices will shoot up in the next few years because there isn't enough grain to feed the world and provide alternative fuel (ethanol) ... and droughts in producing countries.

so we have to work harder to make more money just so we can keep up with our bills?

so, as consumers, why not hold the line on something as petty as a $50 service fee?

just because you plunk down $700 for a fishing reel, doesn't mean you have to piss all your money away.

every little bit helps.

Pete G wrong NEVER must have been a mistake or a missprint or something. It is what it is or was till changed.I think he was right in saying(Online forums have never been a productive place to discuss Van Staal) unless you think they are over pricing the yearly charge and shipping then they just might read the posts and change it back!!!!!!!!!!!

There were questions on the boards, I contacted Van Staal for clarification, I posted here.

You've always had it out for me for no apparent reason GB, and I don't even know who you are.

well, you do seem to be going out of your way to defend van staal when they should be doing that themselves...particularly when they are trying to sneak through a price increase.

i understand you are a retailer but come on.

I'm not just defending Van Staal I was trying to clear up the confusion as a retailer. I have an interest in what happens to people who have bought reels from the SWE or may do so.

If I tell people to send emails directly, I'm accused of hiding something, if I post publicly about VS people jump on it.

As always though, no good deed goes unpunished around here...

Redsoxticket, a post regarding your PM will come soon. It's good news for you...
