Maplins site - no EUR prices?

    I noticed that despite having a web address (maplins.ie), which re-directs to their UK site, as well as an online stock checker for their Irish stores, they've no prices in EUR.

    Does anyone know if there's some format option on their website to change it to EUR prices or would the price in store be close to the EUR conversion of their GBP prices?

    Other than that the only way to find the price is to phone them and provide them with the Stock number, but pretty soon they'll be tired of me ringing them!

    Thanks

    you have 2 options..

    (1) check the website, obtain the £ price then multiply by 3 = € price

    or

    (2) Get their catalogue in the store, on sale at the moment because a new one should drop soon

    I contacted them by phone and got the price, and sadly was not impressed with their conversion and mark-up.

    €247 while an eBay business has the same product for €192 (inc. postage). They seem to be a bit like Argos, the way that the Sterling conversions get bumped up quiet a bit.
