The company advertised a lightweight setup which you don't have to buy and they offer to match any price so its up to the individual really.

Yes but if I am going to do that again and not going through the experience and fuss of last time. isnt worth the hassle.
Are you able to see into the future ?How do you know how many posts the chap will make ?
Unfortunately my crystal ball broke the other day and To be quite honest I wouldn't fall of my chair in amazement if he did. But as I say it would be cool if we had a decent rep who could point us a good deals and reputable buys that was my point all along!!

ive never had a problem with price match. they just take the name of the retailer and give you the price.
For good deals you could look online? They do a price match so no problem there if you can't be bothered to carry out an initial search to find a better deal with which to use your folding paper or plastic card before jumping in and buying off them? How is he not a decent representative of the company?
As for 20% being indicative of the high profit margins they work off? Yep, I would say they often work on a high mark up ratio, just look at the Chinese wholesale internet sites and the wholesale prices they quote but also remember shops like these are not Tesco or Asda, they don't sell a thousand rucksacks a day, a thousand sleeping bags or whatever a day so in order to survive they NEED to have a high mark up on lower volume sales to stay in business.
In this day and age of the smaller retailer/chain going under when trying to compete with the likes of Ebay and Amazon I say good luck to them for the future.
Er, no.
One comment like that is better than no comment at all. I think it's great that he thinks to even do that one comment.
i price matched in cotswolds in newcastle loads of times never a prob, they do it in shop on the puta while your there. same as any other company that price match.
I prefer small traders. Lived in Powys for a large proportion of my life and grew up with small traders, I suppose I just prefer that. Not having a go at people who buy from larger companies. But it seems I'm getting a barrage of comments for steering away from conglomerate companies. Seems a little odd considering the site and it's general ideals. But hey ho it's an opinion I don't expect people to agree.
