Can we combine all the sales discounts 
I think they should then be paying us to take them off their hands!
To be fair I did actually buy a discounted pedal box from OBP and very good it was too 
P.S. - can I have more discount for this endorsement?

It's easy to tease OBP - but they do pay for the right to advertise, which helps the forum to survive. A few people have also said nice things
about their products.
So, they may sound like DFS, but don't be too hard on them!

You think thats bad my old work had been selling pallet trucks at special offer of £150 for something like 5 years. Then they started getting off
another supplier.
Special offer of £165 
The reason I got was If they were from their franchise (hyster) they would be £300+ and it was classed as a special offer because there was less mark
up on them than anything else they sold!!

Well, they pay for Trader status and actively use it so fair play to them. They don't hide behind a false name and the title generally tells you
enough that you don't have to read it if you don't want to. The stuff I got from them was fine and a good price too.

Easy to criticise, but they're running a business in a difficult climate - something I can relate to very closely and if my business was retail
related, then I'd be having all sorts of sales to try and drum up some business too.

True - but there comes a point when you advertise a sale so often, no-one will buy your products except when the sale is actually on....
IMHO it would be far better to put a blanket "10% off to locostbuilders users" and perhaps bump their post up once a week...either by
posting a reply to the thread or deleting and reposting...

don't write OT on a new thread title, you're creating the topic, everything you write is very much ON topic!

Every time I see one of those adverts it makes me blow a gasket lol! I've had a few problems with them that I am still waiting for them to sort
out!
Other than that they are paying to advertise so tbf I just ignore them!
