Chaps

just been into the local diy outfit and stumbled across VOLEX 17th CU with 10 Breakers 5p short of £60

even better if you have a discount card with 10% off...!!! my wholesaler is astonished! but not surprised! oh well!

not sure how long this deal has been on or will last for..!

I missed out on that deal the a week ago, was gonna leave one in the van at that price, they are now turning the trade entrance into a Trade Point for trade only to bring prices down apparently.

 

[DurhamSparky]

yeah my store is doing that as well...!! hmmmm...! i may go and collect one but i cant be bothered..! not sure when im going to use it as im litterally with no work!

 

[Mark_Burgess]

In the Trade Point catalogue there is a British General 10 way split load board going for £42.55 ex-vat, not sure if its any good though.
Most of the book is same part numbers as electricfix/screwfix but with a 7 in front, been doing a bit of comparison today as I have nothing better to do!!

 

[DurhamSparky]

were you get cataloge from??? store..!

might have a wander down to my bnQ and get one!

 

[Mark_Burgess]

Yeah in the store, you have to give them a business card and letterhead to register to buy with them just to get a trade card thingy to stop the public buying through them.

My local focus has CU's, MCB's, RCD's, RCBO's, T&E 1,1.5,2.5,6,10, Tails in 16 and 25mm, Earth in 6 and 10mm, sleeving etc, etc. right next to fuses, fuse wires and plugs, sockets With absolutely nothing to suggest anything is wrong with a housholder buying this and DIYing. Oh and its all at horrendously above the odds prices (ie £38 for RCBO's)

b & q my ---, 2 fluerescent light starters 6 pounds, 50 p in the electrical store, rip off tool prices

I must add the biggest rip off I suffer is bloomin Dennmans, at least you can see your getting robbed at the sheds!!!!

Fine tooth comb needed for Denmans.......Hide the odd really silly price amoungst a statement.......

 

[DurhamSparky]

Best deal at the moment I've found, sure someone gets it cheaper elsewhere but hey ho, can we have a sticky thread just for links for bargains and cheap deals.
