1 for £10.90


2 for £24.99


3 for £39.99

No, I don't understand it.

If you buy 3 singles. you'll do them out of £7.29, so you'll buy 3 even if you don't want them.

There's a hole in my buckets ...

OTOH, I've just bought some ink cartridges:

Set of 5 £7.99 Set of 10 £7.99 Set of 15 £9.99 Set of 20 £17.99 Set of 25 £19.99 Set of 30 £20.99

So, I bought 10 ;-). No idea why 15 is the sweet spot and 20 is such a poor deal.

Says a lot about the sort of customers Amazon expects?

Postage costs if the combine the weights rather than send singly (there is no such thing as free postage - it's always factored into the price).

Very simple. They are providing a service by selling at a loss, and want to make sure they're not taken advantage of.

Same way as you sometimes see 'only one offer per customer' in a supermarket. Takes in the gullible.

Well, yes, I have a yellow tub with a water lily in and it has sprung a leak.

This will be a replacement home for the lily.

I do, the more that are bought the more rare they become so the price goes up. ;-)

I think you're right - the advert says "Only 3 left in stock".
