On second thoughts, after going online to a NZ bookshop I've purchased
one, including delivery, for less than the (alleged) 'cheaper' price
quoted for sale on the Island.

The varlet known as SP did proclaim to all assembled:

Exchange rates - you gotta love em!

 

Indeed. The exchange rate means that the book actually costs ?15.00
whereas this guy reckons it would normally cost us ?34.95, he's selling
it for a mere ?30.00.

What he's doing is having a fornight at the TT selling the books he
(might have) got at cost price or near as damn it, recouping the
expense for the cost of purchase and covering the cost of coming over.

Perhaps.

Can't blame him though ;o)

Especially when Amazon are selling it for £25.

I did a search on Amazon a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find it.

Ah yes, it's there now. Subject to an additional handling charge of
1.99 because 'it's a hard-to-find item' and takes 4-6 weeks for
delivery. So they are taking the slow-boat delivery (delivery costs
are cheaper) from the supplier and making a bit of a profit on it.

I've still got it cheaper ordering it from NZ, arriving in a week )

Well I would have done, but see it's not needed now. See you
Wednesday?

 

Yep )

What time do you anticipate arriving at the RichardA household?
