Bait and Switch, unethical sales tactic by some sales people.

Would you like mocca (coffee) or cappuccino (flavored cigarettes) with your breakfast?

When a unicycle sales person brag about how high tech and wonderful their brand of unicycles are, and how lousy and cheapo are other brands of unicycle, the buyer (being a newcomer to this sports) should be made aware that the prices for "high-tech" unicycles are higher by 2 times, 3 times or even more.

Such comparison is not fair.

In many cases, the sales person would also sell low-tech and cheapo unicycle of the same brand.

....................................................................................

When a sales person entice a buyer (again, being a newcomer to this sports) to buy their particular brand of  unicycle in order to receive help (in learning to ride unicycle) by the community, this is another fallacy aka lies.

The sales person is subconsciously threatening the buyer that the opposite will happen if the buyer don't buy their brand of unicycle. The opposite being: everyone in the community will NOT help the buyer to learn unicycling if the buyer don't buy that specific brand of unicycle.

That is very unfair to the Singapore unicycle community. The community definitely does not discriminate riders due to the brand of the unicycle that a rider own.

Such indirect high-pressure sales tactic based on lies is purely unethical.

I find that the community is generally very welcoming of newcomers. They unconditionally share their experience with newcomers.

Unicyclist like uncle Chow, Tony, Larry, Wong, Faisal, Alice, Rachelle, Yi Hao, Serge, Robinson, Marvin, Jamie, Kee, GC, Kailun and many more are very willing to teach newcomers. So, be free to choose the unicycle that suit you and your budget, whatever brand it is. Don't be fooled by lies.
