Allied Marketing Group, Inc.”
A $599.95 Street and All-Terrain bicycle set for only $189.95!
What brand of bicycles is this? The term
“Ultralite” is used in lots of products. Despite the tiny ® symbol at the end
of the word, I could not find any bicycle brand by that name. It’s simply a generic term
to describe a light weight version of almost anything. You’ll see the term used in many
of the products offered by Sweepstakes Clearinghouse (aka: Allied Marketing Group).
And where did that price come from? Again, you'll note that
all the items show a “National Reference Price.” How is this price determined?
By the Sweepstakes Clearinghouse, of course! It’s purely up to this company to decide
what to show as a price. And since they are actually a “marketing” company the
higher the “National Reference” price, the more money they make. Getting a big
discount on a tremendously marked up product can be just like throwing money down the
drain! Here's are two links to the Dallas, TX BBB to see what they think of this
“National Reference Price” scheme.
