DUH !! What the ..... ??
So my understanding is uptill now, if you're a walk-in customer, you get them for 180 Dhs, if you're a UAE4x4 member you get them for 200 Dhs discounted price ??
Difflock !!! I was always under the impression discounts work downwards not upwards.
Can you check if we're talking about the same product here ?? maybe Staun have to two types of products ? with different specs (both made by Staun).
Something doesnt add up here and that's the only explanation I can find. I read somewhere on the net in the past that there are many types of deflators, those you have to calibrate at a gas station and those that are self calibrating (cost a little higher). Maybe we're talking about two different priducts here.

Fouad,
The type in question available at Al Masood is the ones pictured on the main page. The regular brass, manually adjusted type I wasnt aware of any other types made by Staun.
Simon.

Attention all UAE4x4 club members:
There is no way deflators can be purchased below 200AED at the ARB shop in Mussfah and even then, you need to show club card or an e-mail to that effect (Fouad will send them shortly). Concerning recent sales, from November 15th and onwards, one set, and one set only, has been sold for less and this was a mistake done by the counter clerck.

Fouad/Difflock,
I am not sure how to reply to this but it is safe to say that I am sorry to have raised this issue in the first place. I will withdraw my statement that I purchased a set of Staun Deflators for 180 Dhs as the guy I got them for chucked out the invoice. However, the guy that went to Al Masood last week did indeed get quoted 340 Dhs with a 45% discount which took the price down to 189 Dhs, when he mentioned the "magic" 180 figure the salesman dropped the price to 185 Dhs "last price". He did buy 2 sets, but hardly bulk buying. I hope to get a copy of the invoice scanned tomorrow and send it to you. I did not intend to undermine one of the clubs most respected members by posting this information/prices. So apologies to those who are offended, especially Difflock. Thanks Difflock for the escort to the Sweihan highway on the last trip. Who would know about that fence anyway, we got there in the end!

Simon,
Do not worry about the issue. It is cleared up, no problem. The rule is simple: 200AED for UAE4x4 members. You must show a member card or have a copy of an e-mail Fouad is supposed to send to all members. It is lower as what you can buy them if you are not a UAE 4x4 member. One or two sets slipped out at the wrong price. Instead of firing the counter clerck, as many would have done, I have put this on the back of the shop been openned recently and the personnel not yet properly trained. However, our rules are strict and I would suggest that no one tries to tempt the counter clerck to go below 200AED because if he does go against management instructions again, or if he does badly compute a discount, the next time will be his last time.

Simon, you are truly a Gentleman. no need to apologize. in fact you helped clear it up. if anyone we deal with us a club (Al masood, Pirelli or other) makes an agreement and then we discover there was a discrepency in the pricing, you helped us, you did not offend us buddy It's sweet of you to apologize, no need, you were helping us, dont worry about it Fouad
