Rip off parts price.

[Plumbcrazy56]

I recently needed a flue terminal deflector for a Baxi Duotec GA, I asked Plumbcenter for a trade price and was quoted £32 +vat. I told them where to poke it. 2 minutes of googling and I foud and purchased one on Amazon for £9.44 including vat and delivery. It arrived within 3 days and was in a genuine Baxi box. So why are we being ripped off by Plumbers merchants?????

Had a price for a Saunier Duval pcb of nearly £400 before

I find all glow worm parts seem to be a bit expensive. Same with vailant, had a price for a relief valve of £60 or so, had a bit of a look at it in the merchants, was a standard caleffi item and walked off with the same thing for a tenner identical but for the glow worm box.
