NIK 518 Posted July 31 1 hour ago, flockandroll said: This seems a bargain to me: 38-100 Bachmann 34 Ton PNA Ballast Spoil Wagon £7:76 Temporarily out of stock but you can order it (Kernow have always delivered in the end in similar instances) http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/12412/38-100-Bachmann-34-Ton-PNA-Ballast-Spoil-Wagon Hi, The RRP of this wagon should be about three times the RRP shown on the Kernow website so it may be an old entry. The wagon does not appear to be on the Bachmann website at present. Regards Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SR71 140 Posted August 1 I can't advise on a specific bargain (I bought it!) but Bill Hudson transport books are doing free delivery at the moment. They don't seem to come up in the usual book search engines but found the book I wanted from them at a third the cost of other online sellers via page 4 or 5 of a tenuous Google search.

Strange, I just ordered an 2EPB and a 66 and the total matched the price on the page (plus 4 quid postage) It is confusing/strange the way the VAT is separately itemised but not added to the Total cost Edited August 1 by spamcan61 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maico 495 Posted August 1 It's a legal requirement on a consumer website in the UK to show the VAT inclusive price and that is what MRD do. It's normal for a trade site to show prices ex. VAT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CovDriver 720 Posted August 2 I ordered one of the class 101 DMU's cracking price of £99.99 plus postage at £3.99 the VAT was inclusive. Plus a bonus SWMBO is still away for another 2weeks no problem of getting it in the house so it's a win win situation. Cheers Colin 3 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It usually occurs in the aftermath of missing out on a bargain after said bargains have all been had, as in the case of MRD on Saturday. Symptoms include frantically refreshing the page in case more magically reappear, spending way too much time checking every other retailer in case there may be bargains there and constantly refreshing eBay in case any new items have been posted drastically underpriced.
