companies which think they can have rather obvious stuff manufactured in China for £2-3 then sell them here for £90 www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/583537/Workshop/Bike-Movers/Renntec?utm_source=email&utm_medium=031209&utm_campaign=031209 They can FRO I have enough fingers and toes to count how many they are likely to sell. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Oh I know them. "To achieve this aim we operate sophisticated CNC machinery and utilise current CAD/CAM design and manufacturing techniques." Yeah in fucking China most likely. Even if they make it here it's £5 and worth £20 retail. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Did you miss the bit where it says 'Designed and manufactured in the UK'? Ah, you're just being tight then.
I've met them and frankly wouldn't believe a word they said Need I add more www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=balmoral+road%2C+aberdeen&countryCode=GB#map=57.13601,-2.12006|16|4&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:57.13601:-2.12005:16|ab10|AB10 -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Except they're an english company, and make the products here too. http://www.renntec.co.uk/about_renn.html So, you were saying?

Plenty, I would think - especially given the size of most UK home garages. Besides, even you're not so stupid as to think that such an item would have a landed cost of 2-3 quid even if it was made in China. Not to mention, that if it was and you were so clever, you'd be in a different business to that which you are now,

Production. Plus shipping. I'm far too smart to be in the motorcycle business. It sucks. BTDTGTT -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Well I only met them once so I'm prepared to be corrected When they had retail outlets I rather liked the one nr Oxford. Lots of kit, helpful chaps and cheep cheep. Mail order? NO Oh we know from that **** Cane what a bunch they are I'd be surprised but hey! Spam -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Which shows how clueless you are on the subject. Who said anything about being in the Motorcycle business?
<confused> Are you suggesting (Private) Healthcare is less profitable than UK metal bashing? and frankly I wouldn't touch anything that involves having to sell to the retail public. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
I'm starting to think that you're being deliberately obtuse. Do you really think the only costs to get a product on a shelf is the cost of manufacture and the cost to ship it? Are you on crack? Then perhaps you should stfu with regards to people that do.
Good job really because given your postings here are gradually wobbling further and further towards borderline mental case I suspect you'd not last long at it.
It's still there, next door to Fox's, or H Cafe or whatever it's called this week. The joy of the open market. If you think it can be done more cheaply, in a form that'll sell, then why not undercut them if it riles you that much?
