Rip off Rant

Can somebody please tell me how a piece of plastic called a "hood cover" can possibly cost ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS?!! What''s the matter with people in this country? If all the stupid consumers in this place refused to pay these ridiculous/laughable amounts then retailers would be forced to lower prices to something more reasonable. People in France would just shake their head and walk away. But no you have to flash-your-cash in this place otherwise you''re a loser, an unfashionable nobody. Oh yeah and I don''t give a S*** if the seams are "electronically welded". What a load of bollocks, who do they take us for? Grrrrrrr!

Yes, I know Driller, my dealer kindly supplied me with one when I bought my Chimaera from them. P.S. Did yours fit? Edited by .mark on Friday 15th June 16:45

Whats the problem? If you don't want to buy something at the price its offered, don't buy it. If no-one wants to buy it, they'll go out of business. If someone does want to buy it, that's their choice... unless of course, you want to restrict other people's choices... Wonderful thing, capitalism. Neil

No Neil, you're wrong. They will not "go out of business" they will just lower the price until people agree to pay it and lose a few percent in an already tasty profit. Have you ever heard of the concept "what the market will bear"? This is alive and well. And it does not restrict peoples choices by being a decerning buyer, it increases choices by placing more things within people's reasonable grasp. Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-capatalist per se I'm just all for ethical behaviour. All of which is not really topical (anymore) so I'm off for a blast in my very reasonably priced Griff Driller Ice Blue Griff500
