    260 packs of seeds for £17.99 some bargain here. Ordered one but thinking about getting a second for freinds:D

    Someone's obviously nicked a box from B&Q. Sutton's send the packets of seeds in boxes to them and B&Q's own are actually rebranded Sutton's - I've seen staff putting them out on display.
    I'd say they're probably nicked, there's no way someone will just have all those seeds at like £1.50 minimum a packet and be selling for the lot for that price.

    That site also brings up security alerts on my browser. Looks dodgy. Personally I just go to the pound shop or Aldi for seeds - 40p to £1 per packet is cheap enough, people have to grow a few plants and collect the seeds so they're worth paying for.

    From looking at the packed and planting dates on the packs I'd say they were end of life stock rather than stolen.

    I wouldn't be too worried about shelf life. 80% should be good for another year or two. You'll probably get better germination rates if you soak them for 24 hrs prior to planting.
