    Yes there is, thats why I suggested checking the sku number. However the store is not obliged to honour a shelf price if other customers or staff mistakenly place things in the wrong spot.

    BTW Bunnings will always honour the lower price if they have stuffed up. DAMHIK.

    ACtually, no there isn't - it is entirely up to the retailer whether they honour price errors, although most do unless it is an obviously ridiculous error.

    Simon is correct, it is called "invitation to treat" in legal parlance. See

    Bloody good markup I'd say.

    Did that include tax and import duty?

    Who wants to become a car importer.
    If we do something along the line of the Lee Valley order we could all end up with new cars very cheaply

    Back in the days of telecom & "Z" plates. Telecom used to buy its vehicles unpredeliverd straight off the boat & without waranty or any dealer support.
    They would run them for 60 000 then sell them at auction for more than they cost. And they didn't pay tax or duty either.

    Them were the days.

    as I said once again the $17.96 are the Gripwell planes, the Stanleys were obviously in the wrong spot. Check the barcodes, you will find they match the Gripwell planes.
    You can never have enough planes, that is why Mr Stanley invented the 1/2s

    Customers don’t always put things back to where they were.

    I always them to scan the price for me.

    Peter.
    Dad here has told me otherwise. He eventually got the lower price, but he is banned from that Bunnings store.

    Could be worse. There are two within 5 minutes drive of each other around there.
