Dear forum users, I need your advice. The question is, I wanted to fly to Greece for a fur coat, they offer 2 options, with and without obligation. What to choose or can anyone have advice on how to get a fur coat with less spending?

Do not be fooled by this "ball". Three skins will be torn off you. Buy the cheapest tour for 4 nights. From Donetsk a week ago they were 268 euros. And buy whatever you want, not what they will impose on you. You should also know that in Thessaloniki and Kastoria they sell fur from China

We bought without any obligations, and at the same time had a good rest.

Without obligations! It will be necessary to buy a fur coat, and also in a particular store. The price of the tour will be included in the fur coat.

I went with the obligation to buy a fur coat! The choice was great, we visited several factories, they didn’t impose anything on me, I bought myself a wonderful fur coat, I’m very satisfied. Of course, you need to understand that the cost of the flight is already included in the fur coat, but the accommodation is free and the prices for fur coats are quite adequate, cheaper than in my city.

Everything "free (flight and accommodation)" is paid by the fur factories, which include it in the price of the fur coat.

The TC must understand that free cheese is only in a mousetrap. For this "free" still someone pays. In this case, fur factories.
Regarding the fact that they did not impose - there is a condition in the contract - if the fur coat is not bought, then the tourist compensates the travel agency for the costs of the trip.
Why don't you write about it? If this condition were not there, then everyone would have come down in shoals to rest in Greece for 1 euro.

Don't talk nonsense. Nobody pays for anything. You're just repeating a marketing tale for tourists. But in fact, the seller or the owner of the salon simply calls the price 25-30% higher than that which he would offer to a simple tourist without a tour. And you will negotiate at best 100-200 euros. Then a kickback is simply paid to the travel agency, guide, driver, and so on. Therefore, such complex manipulations with two checks, their registration with the guide when buying, and so on. No one is going to pay anything to anyone and will not pay without guarantees that something will be sold, and no one will give such guarantees. Myths about some kind of furriers' union are a myth and nothing more. It's every man for himself.

In any case, the tourist pays for everything by buying a fur coat, the price of which includes a kickback for the travel agency. Therefore, there is a condition of mandatory purchase.

Double checks are given to everyone, not only to those who came with an obligation, when buying any fur product. I don’t know how you bargained, but I was thrown off 500 euros and I didn’t see a big difference in the cost of fur coats of those who I had an obligation and without obligations. If the tour operator offers a good tour for 1 euro, why should you immediately look for a catch? There are also ridiculous prices for last-minute tours, you are probably also afraid to ride in them, because the entire cost will be included, for example, in excursions

And here last-minute tours, especially to Greece? It is good to travel to Greece by early booking. And those who burn are good who have a cartoon in their passport (the discount is very good). Last year it was possible to fly to Halkidiki for 340 in the all-inclusive four.
masha2006-89, and where are the excursions to last-minute tours (the operator needs to beat off the price of the tour at least to zero, so as not to burn out.)

masha2006-89, Yes, double checks are given to everyone, but they do not need to be recorded anywhere, only one at customs. And in the shop tour you will be read the rules before the trip that each check must also be registered with the guides. Indeed, in prices there is no difference with the obligation you have come or not. There is a big difference only if you come to the salon yourself, without any accompanying persons. Naturally, you need to tell the sellers or owners about this.

When buying a fur coat tour, we sign an obligation that if we don’t buy a fur coat, we pay extra for the cost of an air ticket and a visa of 450 euros, it’s not difficult to calculate how much the cost of a fur coat increases. Here, too, there is an interest of factories, it is very expensive to bring fur coats to Russia, so tours with an obligation are also beneficial for them, it is more profitable for them to pay such tourists for a hotel than to give 100% of the cost of a fur coat at customs. Before going, I read a lot of forums and reviews and concluded that it’s not scary to go with the obligation if you count on buying a good fur coat worth at least 2500 euros and I was not mistaken, the fur coat was bought at a very reasonable price and at the same time I had a good rest

Again, you do not understand, no one pays for any hotels. Not any Greek furriers paying for your flight and so on. Everything is much easier. Each salon owner simply names prices based on what they will have to pay for each fur coat sold, approximately 25% of the cost plus 150 euros just for the bus ride. I am not writing assumptions))))) For example, a fur coat costs 4,000 euros in the cabin for an ordinary tourist, a shop-tourist will be called 5,200, then 200 will be thrown off. 1000 euros receives an escort. Approximately such a layout for clarity. And everything else is tales for suckers.

We have just returned from Greece. Very pleased. They took it with a promise. As advised by a friend. She bought herself 2 fur coats in Greece. We actually paid 1 euro for two! We were told how to choose fur coats. We also visited factories and visited Edik. This is the center where all fur coats from different factories are brought. I bought myself a fur coat for 1700, although they asked for 2100, a friend bargained for 500 euros. We even had an excursion on the first day in Thessaloniki.

We were told that it was more profitable for them to bring tourists for fur coats than to pay taxes and open shops in Russia. I don’t know whether it led us or not, but we bought ourselves cool fur coats. Prior to this, the whole of Engels and Saratov went around, they could not choose anything.

Yeah, for fur coats up to 1500-2000 euros, yes, but everything that is more expensive ...... is already unprofitable. And what kind of experience can you get? Did they tell you at the salon? Or guides? Or do you just think so? But in fact, the approximate mark-up for a fur coat is about 25%, plus each salon pays 150 euros just for the arrival of the bus, regardless of the purchase. If you buy one or two fur coats, add this money to the price. If the coat is inexpensive, then it doesn’t matter, but if it’s 3000-4000 euros more expensive, then it already hurts.

What is there to argue, there is an extra charge, of course. But not 25% at all. If there had been such an extra charge, then I would not have bought a whole mink that year for 2500 euros.

Julia, mink mink strife. I assure you that you would buy a whole mink for both 1500 euros and 1000, especially since you do not specify what you bought. By the way, what is meant by a whole mink? Sewn from plates? So from "non-solid", sewn in the dissolution of mink, products are considered more interesting, more complex and more expensive. Tailoring from solid rectangular plates has no advantages in terms of beauty and wear.
