"off duty" 1970 - 1997 - eine Freizeit-Zeitung für's US-Militär

Die in diesem amerikanischen (Freizeit-) Shopping-Magazin angepriesenen Hifi- und Video-Produkte waren auschließlich amerikanischen und kanadischen Militärangehörigen zugänglich - also zu kaufen - und vor allem zu ganz ungewöhnlich (verblüffend) niedrigen US $ Military-Preisen. Zu der einführenden "off duty" Seite geht es hier lang. -  Um 1970 begann der weltweite Hifi-Boom bis zum 1. Crash 1978 und dann wieder zum 2.Crash um 1990. Über die 20 Jahre nach 2001 lesen Sie mehr in den Kolumnen auf diesen japanischen Seiten.

Besonderheiten in der Preisliste 1975/76

Hier finden Sie keinen deutschen Hersteller mehr, alleine zwei Engländer sind noch enthalten, unter anderem QUAD mit dem 33 und dem 303. Das ist ein untrügliches Zeichen, daß die deutschen Produkte auf dem internationalen Markt fast keine Chance mehr hatten.

SPECIAL NOTICE

THE PRICES shown in Off Duty Shoppers for audio and photographic equipment have always been subject to change due to market conditions, but rarely as much as in today's lively marketplace.

Not only are prices changing rapidly (happily, many prices are coming down), but there are many instances of products switching suddenly from club to exchange, or vice-versa. Cause of the relative turmoil in audio/photo circles is the burgeoning competition between AAFES, Europe and the clubs.

It pits the Exchange Service's enormous buying power and publicity clout against afast-moving, highly flexible local club operation, that has dominated the audio/photo scene in Europe for several years.

By direct purchase in Japan, AAFES has lowered prices on many popular items. If the club's price for the item is higher, the management may withdraw it from sale.

Or, the local importer who supplies the club may reduce his price in order to protect his livelihood. Sometimes the same item, with slightly altered faceplate and model designation, will appear in both exchanges and clubs at comparable prices.

In a few instances, notably in the case of U.S.-made components and accessories, the identical product is available in both exchanges and clubs. If there is a difference in price, it is usually temporary because both outlets are anxious to have your business and don't want to be undersold.

So, if our Shopper price list information changes faster than usual these days, it's all to the good. Thanks to competition, the customer is getting a better deal than ever.

Kommentar zu den obigen "SPECIAL NOTICE" Zeilen

Obwohl alles unter dem Label des "US Military Sales" lief, ware es drei oder mehr konkurrierende Organisationen, die sich um diesen Markt prügelten, natürlich nur hinter den Kulissen. Der jeweilige Standort-Kommandant sollte es dann richten, ein Militär, der von Hifi und Verkauf wenig Ahnung hatte. So waren Korruption Tor und Tür geöffnet und es ging um viel Geld. Ein Großteil der Gelder in Dollar wurde über Importfirmen in der Schweiz abgwickelt und den Japanern war es schnurz egal, wo das Geld her kam.
Vor allem, es gab überhaupt keine Kontrolle, wo welches Geld versackte, weil es auch gar kein Interesse gab, dort nachzuforschen. Für die jeweiligen europäischen lokalen Finanzämter waren das alles NoGo-Militärbereiche, zu denen Sie keinen Zugang hatten. Bis dann eine dem US-Militär untergeordnete US-Behörde mal geweckt wurde und gnadenlos zuschlug.
