I've got to ask --- why is arb stuff so much more expensive here in the Uk compared to Europe. Rip off Britain??

 

 

So... Anyone got any links to any arb shiny gear suppliers in Germany?

 

 

Yarp!

Here's a topical link https://www.google.de/#q=stihl&tbm=shop

 

Don't be tempted to actually buy any of these products on-line as this is verboten.

Her's another example Belle 4 x 4 Mini Dumper 134Ltr | Mini Dumpers | Screwfix.com

 

Belle 4x4 mini dumper - Screwfix price £2,504.

 

German equivalent Helo 4x4 chain driven mini dumper HELO Motor Mini Dumper BLUE POWER Lader Schubkarre motorisiert | eBay

 

- price £830. and maybe £200 for delivery Total price around £1,100?

So what are you going to do if it goes wrong under warranty or you need technical help?

I wondered why I was paying the extra £1400, it's for the warranty. So I'm not being ripped off then!!

Bad comparison there!

That's like saying things are much cheaper here than in Japan because a Landcruiser costs more than a Defender....

 

The same dumper as the one screwfix sell is this:

 

Minidumper BMD300 von Belle + gratis Arbeitsjacke in in Berge | eBay

But your example is still £400 cheaper in Germany than Screwfix, why?

Your example, not mine...

But apart from the fact that the exchange rate doesn't quite work like that (you'll pay about £250 less).

Germany's vat equivalent is less I think (19%?)

Screwfix is just not very cheap. Good service and fast delivery, never any issues with warranty claims and normally a direct new-for-old swap.

So you won't be shopping at Aldi or Lidl?

 

What I find strange is that Belle is based in Buxton yet their kit is cheaper in Europe than the UK?
