I was recently looking to buy the Preston C tech 12ft feeder rod , out of interest I looked on Climax website
They didn't have the C tech in just the C series (the older model)
http://www.climaxtackle.com/preston1/carbon_active_c_series_rods.htm
the price is £130 reduced to £118 for the C series, I rang to ask about the C tech and was told they didn't stock the C Tech but had the 12ft C series feeder for £135!!
I didn't point out the price on line was £118 just thanked them and rang off.
I called into my local tackle shop (I was always intending to buy there if they could supply me) they had the 11ft C tech feeder but not the 12ft feeder. But after a quick chat they ordered me the 12 ft (it came about a week later) and said they would match Billy Clarke and Climax for the price "Not bloody likely Climax" I told them and explained to them the situation.
just shows what a rip off some shops can be
