yes there certainly is.

Dear Richard,

thank you very much for your inquiry and interest in our products.

We are sorry to inform you that we currently do not offer a reseller program.
We only sell our products through our Fanatec Website

Thanks for your understanding.
Have a nice day.

...I didn't have a nice day :(
 
not on that occasion, its a shame really as their stuff is pretty cool. I really like their Porsche stuff and a pal of mine sim races on the BMW GT wheel, but having used it, it doesn't really do much else that the Thrustmaster products we stock already don't do.

I'll certainly keep following them up but on every occasion I have contacted them they have had the same answer for me.

Their loss I guess.
 
Ah you bad bad people, payday tomorrow and I want to get playing Elite properly...nnnnnggggggggggttttttttt must...resist.....:(
 
I have a friend with the T300 and just like the TXOne (the Xbox One version) it is a brilliant wheel with TERRIBLE pedals. Really recommend investing in the T3PA or T3PA-Pro if you go down the T300/TxOne route!

As for Fanatec, it does indeed seem weird that they don't do a reseller program, but they must be doing ok to continue with the business they have. My friend recently got a new Fanatec setup (shifter, wheel, pedals and seat for ~£1400). You say they don't do anything that the Thrustmaster can't do, which is pretty much comparing the T300 to this. They are leagues ahead of Thrustmaster, and the pricing reflects that! It is the next step up. One I will hopefully make before Christmas :p
 
well, think about it this way.

they sell to a reseller, they will need a distribution network.

so thats 15-20% requirement for the reseller, and a further 10-15% for the disti.

by doing it themselves they can protect their own market pricing as they have no competitors.

they also remove the 25-40% margin that gets chewed up in a distribution network meaning they have to sell that percentage less to make the same profit on their products.

so I can see why it happens despite it not working in my favour.

I wouldn't say they are leagues ahead. certainly better but not something I would be upset about if I already owned a T500.
their pricing is as high as it is because they can charge what they want, once again going back to the single reseller model that I outlined above.

Yeah that kind of sucks, because I won't buy from them. I'd only buy from Overclockers and quite frankly I find the fanatec website clunky to navigate.
 
rjk, were these not going to be this week only deals staring 26th August? Assume this week last for 7 days?

Prices for the T300 GTE are showing as £299?.

I was going to bite and order at £239 as I have a voucher to use to bring it down a little more.

If it's back to £299 and i've missed it, shame but no sale for me i'm afraid. please advise.

Thanks :)
