i find it amazing but i suppose the could live somewhere remote

Maybe they have bought into the idea that eBay is "the cheapest" thererfore whatever/whoever is selling on there, must by virtue be offering the best price?

If you have access to a computer (and if they are looking at eBay then I presume they have!)....its down to pure laziness. Everyone will post stuff out to you these days.

I use eBay as a starting point. Then find suppliers. Then check back with the eBay seller to see if there is a deal to be done. Then check suppliers to see if I can get a deal over the eBay price....

Unless its stuff from Alex, as theres no competetion for what he's selling.

My mate lives in rural Wales and buys everything on E-bay. Its not just about cost.

Personally the internet is fantastic...I live in Holland and recently priced up the following items:

1 x set of 10" prefilters for RO-MAN system = 64 euros
1 x 650litre tank = 640 euros
1 x 25Kg bag of di resin = 91 euros

All excluding 19% vat (btw as it is called here).

So using the internet...I buy my gear/ from the UK once a year...

Cheers
Dave.
