Hope Ceramic BB - £110 too much?

Anyone know the list price of a Hope ceramic bb? I asked for a Hope bb to be fitted to my bike and the shop has fitted a ceramic one instead of a stainless without asking ( i assumed they would of fitted a stainless one) and are charging me £140 ; 110 for the bb, 15 for the gxp adaptor and 15 labour.

Just scouting on the net and £110 is a lot for the bb.

Any ideas on what I should do? I waiting on a call from the bike shop boss to discuss further but hopefully some has had a similar experience and advise on what to do?

I believe that Jeez has made a study into this sort of thing, he should be along shortly.

RRP for the bb is £109.99 so they have overcharged you by £0.01p.

fuckers

Is it common to pay rrp on parts from a lbs?

is this all a joke?

No joke!

It's a recommended retial price and it's a shop what could you possibly not understand?

The clue is in the above sentence retail

You've already named and shamed yourself for idiocy...

nice friendly response

I once bought milk from a shop and they charged me for it!
should I name and shame them?

Immolation is the preferred resolution here. Self- or shop, probably doesn't matter.

tesco's ?
i bet it was tesco's

nice friendly response

Why would you name and shame a shop doing it's job you tit. Stop being a belter and it'll get friendlier...

I accept the 'name and shame' comment was silly so accept my apologies on that.

back to my question - Is it common to pay rrp on parts from a lbs. Just after some helpful advice, not smart ass comments

Fuck can you not read? It's a shop it's retail stop being so moronic...

tesco's ?
i bet it was tesco's

Ye, never going there again

plus they fitted the expensive option without consulting me.

Ye, never going there again

how often in life do you pay full RRP on products?

plus they fitted the expensive option without consulting me.

you asked for a hope bb, they fitted a hope bb.....

maybe have a word and see if they can offer you a bit of a discount
you didn't request the top end BB they fitted ... what BB did you have in there before ? did they do a like for like swap or did they upgrade you without asking ?

They charged £15 for replacing the bb which is very cheap, most shops charge £25/30.

Sram bb - non ceramic.

If there were two options, in this case steel and ceramic, I would expect the cheaper of the two to be the default to be fitted.

I would expect a call to confirm that I was happy with the more expensive option.

Again - Fire would solve all of these problems.

basically I asked for a decent bb that would last me a long time (in bb terms). The guy suggested hope and I said yes as I have a hope wheelset, (which they rebuilt the rear after a crash for £50, which I thought was a really good price). I had a rough idea of the common sale price (not RRP!) of a hope bb in my mind so I said yes.

No prices were discussed at the time - looking back big error. Had the invoice emailed to me today with the costs outlined above.
