Rip offs

[Arborlord]

Very decent of you jonsie.

[Stuart A-C]

Mabye you should up your day-rate, and if you get no work you wont need to buy new kit, but if you do you can justify it?

Everything costs more, even my nice coffee, there are cheaper brands, but they taste nasty, so I take the hit on buying the one I like. And if people stop buying, companies will vanish then things become more expensive anyway. I see the point you are trying to make, but it is just a fact of life, we just have to learn to deal with it and just sit tight and ride the storm:alien:

my local dealer doesn't have a flash showroom but they've still had to put their prices up due to the manufacturers. The only thing that hasn't gone up in price are the hayter mowers that they sell (made in britain).

[Arborlord]

The days of showrooms etc will be over price will drive them out.

 

It will be a website with a warehouse and delivery that will do the best.

 

You buy from many decent shops you get reward point why aint arb dealers offering deals.

 

All i know is like 90percent of other tree guys we hate these prices as it is and will continue to shop around and who knows might not even bother with overpriced uk companys just import for states still cheaper.

Thats a silly amount of cash for an 020T:scared1: I aint doubting you, no then again I am by saying you really sure about that?

 

If we had the Euro would none of this matter?

 

Goes to show GB doesnt make anything anymore, even meat classed as British Beef apparently isnt:confused1:
