Graf $$$$

[A2rhino 63]

So I'm searching the net for a new pair of Grafs and I see the prices have gone up anywhere from $25-$50.00 for their skates in the last 2 weeks. Whats this all about? Is it that they have changed them some how or are they just an aragent company BEGING to go out of biz. Dont get me wrong I love their skates but for these prices I can get a new pair of KOR, One90's or Easton 1500's...... Someone please explane...

I don't know where you live, but if it is near Toronto, I just got a pair of 735's with T-Blades on Clearance for $299 regular $599. :D All the Grafs with T-Blades were on clearance.

No way! They never made the G5 with tblades did they? Where did you get them at?

I've always thought Grafs where overpriced skates from the get go. They are a quality product however I just can't justify their prices. Trouble is now all the manufacturers are asking $599 (CDN) and up for top of the line skates. Looks like Graf just upped the ante' again. Good grief when will it stop!

Buy a pair of Kors. I haven't been able to afford Grafs since I was making the Big Bucks (in High School).

I live in AZ and there is no where out here that sells them. I would like to try them on before dropping 5 bills. Any suggestions?

i don't know how you can say grafs are so expensive. here in nova scotia, everywhere i've been the 700 series have been $399-459 cdn. pretty cheap compared to the $699 price tags on other companies high end skates.

Excatly. Even the G-Series is $599ish for the most part i've seen around here. Thats what i paid for my G3's. I think paying $500-$600ish before taxes is a saving compared to what One90's, XXX's retail for before taxes.

I got them at "Just Hockey Source for Sports". No G5 but the G35 with T-Blades were $399.

One factor in price is they are not made off-shore.

Graf's MAP went up.

I called some online hockey store a couple of days ago to check on the One90 price, and they quoted me 519.99.

What is MAP?

I can except that as a good reason. However I just dont understand if the skate hasnt changed then why has the price gone from $480 to $520.00. It just seems a bit excessive.

The new G5 Ultras are different and I can understand that but the G3 has not unless I'm mistaken. Also, why has the price of the G9 remained the same?

Thanks for that.

this may have been discussed before, but i saw a pair of 705's in the store the other day with a composite outsole, and not like the one on the g-series. it was smooth and rounded around all the edges, very nice-like. have these outsoles been put on all the 700 series?

You mean the clear plastic one?

it may have been plastic, but it didn't appear clear...it was more gray/black, like the color of eastons ultra graphite blade.
