Greatest markup ever?

Yes, but most people don't.

The idea that you have the right to go around killing people on a drink driving bender because Coke costs 2 quid a pop is ridiculous.

It isn't the responsibility of the bar to ensure you don't drink drive. It is the responsibility of the bar to continue trading and making profits.

People should take responsibility for their own actions.

You're making assumptions.

I didn't. I SAW it.

Feel free to point out when I claimed that?

I regularly drive to the pub and drink soft drinks , but I frequently hear other people in the pub making comments about how they aren't going to pay more for orange juice than lager and am sure that if soft drinks were a cheaper alternative many of them would be under the limit instead of over it. That doesn't mean I approve , but it certainly happens.

And before anyone asks , yes I have reported people to the police when I know they are pissed and planning to drive home (and I know what car they are driving)

You didn't. It's the people complaining about the price of orange juice and thinking it gives them a right to 3 Stellas and their car keys I object to.

ok cant be arsed to read them all but here you go garage i worked at (main dealer) used to buy bags of cable ties at £6 for a bag of 6000 ties they were booked out at £1 each (when issued to jobs) thats £6000 a bag therefore £5994 profit

High end tube amps. Or any audio in that bracket, for that matter. Think $30k apiece.

If it was, indeed the same product, it will have been bought from somewhere that specialises in bankrupt and surplus stock sales, so the selling price is no indication of the original trade sale price. However, pound shops also sell remanufactured button cells, often in packs that look a lot like manufacturers' original packs, which do not have the life of new cells.

The message from John Rumm contains these words:

Though to be fair, they do actually work. The A>B I bought from Poundland the other day didn't. But then so did the one I bought from the market for £1.50 which is about 1/10th of PCW's price.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

The message from "Mindwipe" contains these words:

Bet they didn't miss the chance to charge half an hour's labour to fit it, either.

packs of screws in Robert Dyas. I forget exactly, it was =A31 or =A31.50 for 4 6 or 8 screws. Either way, kinda high.

NT

250ml and typically costs around 5p. Just as with the shop, you're paying for the convenience.

yikes what pubs charge £2.50 for a coke?? They wouldn't dare charge that up 'ere int' north.... In fact I don't even pay that for a pint :-)

they effin should do for £15! :-)

At the store level there isn't that much profit. A ten quid cartridge used to be about a fiver store cost. The manufacturers make a pretty large profit on making them for a few pence and selling them to the retailers.

Where in hell would you find anyone who is stupid enough to remanufacture lithium cells? They are cheap, made on automated machines and likely untouched by human hands until installed into your toys. Short life is caused by one of two things. They have been in stock for too long, or they were crap when they were made in some Chinese or third world factory.

Less than a cent of rotted vegetable matter in a quid of packaging sold for £20.

I doubt he's rolling in cash with the units he's shifting.
