Yes I will agree that it comes down to cost when starting up, there are pro,s and Con,s either way. The forum is a great way to get people thinking and asking questions.

CIP: care in pricing. Just seemed a little pricey for such a basic thing.Touched a nerve did I ?  :o :o :o :o

No nerve touched... Your obviously a little simple and do not understand costings... Are you charging £ 2.50 for a 0ap's  bunglow? No I guess a little more due to the fact that a business needs to make a profit.

So if you had a company that is manufacturing items, you'd no that everything adds up, at Polarbrite our prices are at a reasonable rate, and we are not in the habit of ripping ANYBODY off, if your concerned about any more of our prices please come and see me to discuss them.....

Many thanks

Whizzkid, the guy who treads on the end of that pipe needs paying his minimum wage plus he gets through four pairs of boots a year and several pork pies a day. Then there is that jubilee clip, not any old clip but a special one. Then there were the months and months of R&D that went into producing such a fine tool. CAAD operators don't come cheap you know!
Beggars belief how Gardiners can produce a Resi-neck with swivel so cheaply - they must scrimp on the pork pies  ??? ???

That item which is 27.50 + vat, so what is your argument? You tunnel visioned fool!

This chap will not get wound up, so keep it coming... Tunnel vision characters ... You could even mention ALDI, lidal vacuum cleaners if you like!
