GRCS vs LD2 vs Smartwinch

[AHPP]

Yes except I’m not a tyre kicker. If I was offering £64.18 for something, I was wanting to do the deal for £64.18, not just talk about VAT with them. Got the deal 10-20% of the time. Got an interested response to the maths 20-30% of the time. Got an angry response to the maths 60-70% of the time. The remaining 10% of the time I was talking to someone like Mick, the assiduously disinterested.

Working example. GRCS with a visor, new from Honeys website £3293 excluding VAT (£3952 including VAT). Removing the 30% retail margin gives £2533. Then adjust for condition:

20% (very poor) - pay £506

40% (slightly poor) - pay £1013

60% (fair) - pay £1520

80% (good) - pay £2026

100% (perfect) - pay £2533

 

So that GRCS that Mick saw advertised for £2500 would have had to be in 99% condition to be worth the asking price. His appraisal that £2000 was a fair price would put the condition at 79% (which it roughly was). Perhaps he uses the same calculation I do.

But did you knock him down on price?

Tried to (iirc) but he wasn’t having it.

He's mugged you right off!

Well, in fairness it was £800 which was a good price.

 

I never saw it though, it was stored at my nephew’s, who lives oop north.
 He is a climber, he took a shine to it and paid me what I paid Alex.

I of course refer to your very apparent general contempt for the theoretical, ideological or even the very modestly circuitous. You would not have been remotely interested to hear the reason for charging £787. 16 instead. You don’t care about that sort of funny bollocks.
