They have been doing it for a while now, suppose its another cheapish way of advertising.

Lolocost have been doing this for ages and they were a part of the same company (not sure if they still are) I guess that if they got results then the
parent company thought why not?
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Was reading in one of the Sunday papers a few weeks back that eBay related traffic accounts for over 40% of all traffic on Internet in UK.
Don't know how they know that, but if it's true then massive exposure to potential customers for a few quid.

Didn't know they were planning to sell panels unfolded/unpunched. But I did notice the price shot up from the initial web estimate when RH was
bought out and it actually came time to start selling them.

according to the flyer they sent round (I think I still have it ) they were going to offer the lightweight as a flatpack (ikea style) package that
came with its own assembly jig with the prime target purchaser being schools and clubs etc, then it went qt and now we are offered the kit! its a
shame as I think they would have had a lot of interest in the flatpack!(me for 1)

Thats more or less what they have done (the kit includes a "Body chassis jig board" . Were they really suggesting people fold and drill
hundreds of rivet holes? Sounds like they were planning to sell a kit without all the lolocost 'stuff' they force you to buy these
days.
