    "Yer man scanned it at €13 euro after the 50% discount". So it would have been €26?!? I got one from Amazon recently for 6 quid delivered. Probably the same one.

    Yep

    Got them in Techpart Limerick for €3.50.
    Maplin were always 100% dearer and in general only sold to customers who were clueless about what they were looking for.

    Place in Limerick was handy for having a look around at the tech stuff. Clean, tidy, well stocked and plenty of room to wander around. God forbid I'd buy something though.........If I saw something good I'd go home and order it on Amazon for a sensible price. Nearly fell over when I saw they were also charging for their catalogue...think it was a tenner. I almost left with it expecting it to be free like in Argos. On the rare occasion I did purchase something then it would have to be like 80% off i.e the price for it online.

    How the f*ck did they last as long as they did?

    Gonna miss Maplin. It was handy for items that you needed in a hurry or small cheap items and you didn't need anything else from Amazon to get the free delivery. But it was expensive.

    The one beside our office at St. Paul’s still has a week left. I picked up an akasa cooler for a fiver in Friday, nothing special but a bargain nonetheless. I’ll keep an eye next week as we’re refurbishing the living room so I may try and snag some coax and satellite cable on the cheap - theyve bundles on the stuff from what I can see.
