gas and carbon monoxide set for £7.99

[Ermintrude]

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

 

[Ray Stafford]

a couple of quid? Really?

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

Im in the wrong game 🙂

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?

Yep. Its their new outlet. "Disappointment Centre"

 

[SimonG]

Yep. Its their new outlet. "Disappointment Centre"

That just sneaks ahead of Croppies Norks quote 🙂 🙂

Almost as good as the Jewsons branch manager asking me if im getting done, 'yes, ever time I step through your fecking door'

 

[Nostrum]

A concept they have been perfecting for years.

Trevor is my new favourite person 🙂

[SimonG]

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

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

Yep, its not like I've heard that one every day for the last 28 years... 🙂

 

[SimonG]

But this is Jewsons.........

Its every merchant in the English-speaking world, every hour of every day!

"Oh, how witty sir! It brightens my day to be exposed to such a fine sense of humour. No sir, never heard it before sir. Must be original sir"

 

[SimonG]

That did sound a bit like Arkwright in full flight without the stammer 🙂

 

[Ray Stafford]

Arkwright

My hero! 🙂

how hard do you have to fight back the scathing comeback???

 

[Dotty]

Trevor is my new favourite person 🙂

:27::27:

There are a few of us seriously considering inserting Trevor into you....

 

[SimonG]

Poor Trevor 🙂

 

[SimonG]

Well he would have been selling that gear at those prices 🙂

 

[SimonG]

My hero! 🙂

I can just see the young plumber coming out of Williams with a grands worth of gear, mumbling that he only went in for a tub of flux 🙂

Only a grands worth? Must have been Granville serving... 🙂

 

[mfgs]

I was really annoyed I missed this offer at first. Now, not so much.

 

[Ermintrude]

Yeh I felt relieved. Tried to buy two glad my phone crashed as Trevor would have ruined my day more than being hit in the face with a flue pipe by my old mucca.... It was an alleged accident.

That's blood on my pearly whites feckers

 

[jefaz]

I've got 2... 3 grand each

 

[AWheating]

did you guys not get your kit then?

i never answer the phone to withheld or unknown numbers so i never got the call............
