[urq] BI software and pricing of Ronals:

[Pasqualoni, James E]

True!  I bought 5 wheels at various times for $227.  I doubt there was a
computer glitch in the pricing and/or inventory software.  After all, what
nuts buy 15 inch rims for there cars these days??? ;-)

Yeah, 'business intelligence' is kind of an oxymoron, idn't it???

James the price went from $227 to like $434 on May 1st.  I'm figuring audi
was cutting the price because they weren't selling any - clowns like myself
didn't know you needed to give a color code in the part#. 
I'd ask my dealer for  857 601 025d(or c)  and was told 'invalid part#'.
Maybe Audi was only moving a
few in a year.   But when you were nice enought to
post that they were only $227 I RAN to may audi dealer and bought one and
another the following day.  A week later in May the price jumped 90%.
So yea - I thought the $227 price was either a computer glitch - or maybe
too many people like myself ran out and bought some in April - and Audi's
business intelligence software projected at the new sales rate they'll run
out in another 3 months so the price went
up 90%.   Business Intelligence.
