rabid Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I did a a basic trademe search for gfo.. First result, bulk gfo, $10/kg private seller. The very next result from Bulk gfo(dont pay higher prices for stickers and packaging they say), $74.95/0.5kg, thats a 1500% difference. Either there has been a typo somewhere or this is a prime example of what sort of markups LFSs tack on, and a pretty rude one at that. This surely isnt good for our hobby, except to help weed out the stores which charge the highest markups, especially on locally available items. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/SearchR ... uggested=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 the difference may be in the amount of hands and profit margins the product has been through remember the products from an LFS have have a plethora of things to support, wages, rent, power etc. etc. the other is a private seller with none or low overheads buying in a 20kg sack full is even lower than the cheapest seller, may take a lifetime to use it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
