They are selling Drayton 2 ports for forty sheets.

It's been a long time since I bought from a merchants but I'm sure when I worked at the council they where more expensive than this.

You're kidding me Tom?

Probably a quid or two marginal cost to manufacture.

Nah. We are £33 plus the dreaded, and thats not desperately cheap.

The councils account was with parts centre so that's why I probably thought they where cheap then

a couple of quid? Really?

how can they justify a 400 pound plus price tag??

Im in the wrong game

Plumbs got inspection lamps for £2 after recent stocktake some one in Leamington spa realised they had some stock for over 3 years and a net cost of a few million. Sell sell sell

Manufacturing is like that.

Making the first one, with design, tooling, set up, error correction etc, costs a fortune.

But once all those things are sorted, and the machines are running, the marginal cost (ie the cost of making one more of an item) is usually trivially small.

I remember seeing the costings on a 14 inch colour TV once, about 10 years ago, and the marginal cost of manufacture was about £6.

But it's like conning old people, first one takes a lot of effort and time , after that it's a super easy ride to rogue traders hall of fame

Unbelievable bargain i had look yesterday i see there all sold out so well done to anyone who scored ,,, first time ive seen this site it looks spot on,,,

 

[gasmanrob]

This is amazongate all over again!

i crept in just as the post went up and grabbed one. Just has a phone call saying they had all sold and it was listed at the wrong price.

Expect a call as he said there were a few others that placed an order around the same time that he needed to contact I did warn him of the abuse potentially about to come his way.....

 

[dom brennan]

I've just had a call of an oldish guy aswell just asked him can he not give me a different one for the same price but he wouldn't have any of it

 

[Dotty]

Trevor rang me. There was an error.

Doesn't matter how much crying and pleading I did. It ain't coming

Adam, you are the new Amazon Tony!

 

[Nostrum]

I missed a call from the old bloke and knew when I heard who it was it was bad news.

Isn't this woleseley?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Isn't this woleseley?

[Nostrum]

A concept they have been perfecting for years.

Oh dear, if it seems too good to be true, it is.

Unlucky, lads. But a good spot in the first place.
