Renogy is right now offering 5% discount, UPDATE!!! Nov 17, 2018 1:34:54 GMT

Post by swampmonster on Nov 17, 2018 1:34:54 GMT

I had already ordered 4 new Renogy 100 Watt Eclipse panels for my second sys from Home Depot @ $231 each, where HD screwed up my order and shipped them to wrong addy...I saw the mistake in the tracking status and their only answer was to have UPS ship them back and refund me the money...Which they are doing now.

And in the several days in between I see that Renogy is now offering them at $219 each, AND Walmart at $187 each....HMMMM, cool...So OK, I'll give it several more days and see if the refund has hit my bank and reorder from Walmart unless Home Depot does price matching against Walmart.

The whole purpose of this post is to notify folks that certain Renogy stuff is currently being sold at discount where the discount can be much greater depending on the seller....Nothing in the consumer retail world is better than the consumer getting top of the line products at cheaper prices...Sure beats buying crappy products at cheap prices, huh?

WOW< back up! Right now at Walmart the Eclipse Panels are selling for $130 each with free shipping and they are in stock. I just ordered 3 more!...Wheee! Nov. 19, 2018

At least they are capable of shipping it to the right location

I hope it works for you..... When I was buying my first system I called Renogy and asked them if they sold items cheaper than they sold them on ebay because there were no fees... They couldn't even match the prices on ebay there prices were higher..... Times might have changed, I sure hope so....

Good luck....

Past experience says no they won't.

Yaknow, every retailer has their own pricing plan and business model. Often large retailers discover they are overstocked on an item, and super reduce it in price...That CAN be an opportunity for us folks to ask our preferred retailer to price match.

OR, the large retailers simply compete with each other for lowest price, where once again we can seek price matching.

But guys like Renogy sell MOST of their panels to retailers in large quantities where they negotiate with each retailer on price wholesale.
Very often companies will not sell their products retail at all, you must buy from a retailer or distributors of their products.

Renogy assists us by at least selling direct to us, but I'm betting they are not set up for mass retail operation. Such a set up is costly and demands many employees.

Right now, TODAY, Walmart is offering Renogy Eclipse 100 Watt for just 130 bucks each. I just ordered 3 of them for spares and they have shipped, and all Walmart charged me was 130 each plus sales tax.

Could you or any of us expect Renogy to sell us their best panels for that same price?...Absolutely NOT!..Because Walmart prolly buys them by the thousands and Walmart has their own pricing structure and stocking plan and Walmart has the strength to absorb losses with certain products they want to move out of their warehouses right before they are filled with xmass junk.

It is ALL a matter of timing, and all also a matter of bulk sales.

And yaknow what?...I'ma go back to that Walmart site and order several more at that 130 buck each price...BECAUSE it is a very good price for an EXCELLENT panel.

Thank you Renogy for offering it, and thank you sincerely Walmart for liquidating it at 60% retail.
