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.

Madness 🙂

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

I am refusing to spend any money again................ever
 
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,,,
 
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.....
 
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
 
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!
 
I missed a call from the old bloke and knew when I heard who it was it was bad news.

Isn't this woleseley?
