What the fu(k?? Next time you need new wipers are you going to do the same in a motor factors

No, bit different.

It's 1 nut worth less than a euro thatd I'd be ripped off for anywhere,

Wipers I buy brand new most likely of micks garage or somewhere

Where can you buy it for a euro?

So you think that because it's not worth much, that justifies you stealing it?

That is, essentially, the problem though. It's costing about 2c to make, and costing up to €10 to buy. Not that I'm saying it's alright to steal it because of this, but the mark up on small things like that is insane.

Jimdagym · 28-02-2012, 20:36

But the mark up is what it is. There's no point saying its worth a euro if you can not physically buy one for a euro. Where is the sense of worth coming from?
Plus, it costs less than a tenner, and it stops the wheel on your car from falling off. I think that is great value.

She does what to her butterfly now?

(Your more serious comment is noted tho, Mrs C, you're absolutely right.)

It might cost 2c to make it, but only if it's manufactured in Asia. And then please add postage from there to here. The mark-up is not a whole pile after that.

Where would I get boxes to send packages in? Need to send a prize to mrs crilly for winning the ATWR competition and the nav from the Skoda to the new owner but as I never send packages via post usually I havent a clue. Do post offices have that crap?

Just call down to your local shop, tell them what size you need and then they usually have something to suit.

Post Office sell boxes and padded envelopes for sending stuff, bring your own sellatape

*challengemaster* · 28-02-2012, 22:16

Goes without saying, use registered post for something like the Nav....

If it goes without saying, why did you say it?

MugMugs · 28-02-2012, 23:17
