Is it me ?? (UK only)
on: September 13, 2014, 10:49:13 AM
Anyone else noticed that prices of MTs seem to be rising here in the UK.
It doesn't seem too long ago that amazon had some fantastic deals - but nothing looks even remotely tempting there now.

I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

No it's not only you, the prices are getting out of hand

Yeah it's you tosh - just kidding m8  ;)  You're right I browse quite a bit and I've noticed that too.

I tend to put anything I fancy into my amazon shopping basket and watch it to see if the price drops - sometimes it does if there is only one left in stock.

There are some good deals still to be had, but I think we suffer from lack of competition (Ebay won't sell them on their UK site) and the only source is either at a new retail price or from MTO.  :)

100% correct there sir! I try not to post stuff overseas due to postage costs.

It's really expensive if you want it tracked too, I paid £18 to ship a couple of paracord dog leads to the US tracked door to door.
