        My thoughts exactly, I had somebody lined up to machine them for a drink as well

        RS2 brackets it is then.

        Got a call from them today saying that on the new disc (ekta I assume) they have jumped in price slightly

                Could try ebay or something see if you can get them cheaper elsewhere?

                  quick review of a bit of MIS and they decide, oooh these are more popular than we thought, must be a market in them, lets hike the price accordingly...d**ks Either that or they are rapidly running out of stock and decided it was a line to extinguish rather than keep alive and the projected run out date is a few year previous to what was expected In that case, lets ramp up the price and remove the interest :bang:

                        This isnt the first time this kind of thing has happened,the rs2 arb used to be pretty cheap but they doubled/tripled in price when everyone was buying them.

                              I bought some a few days ago for £16 odd each + VAT from Colliers on Warwick Road in Brum.

                              VAGparts wanted £105 ish + VAT each
