rip off

I need more of this ....recently got 2.5l for £25 delivered but this is all that is availabele what a rip off

I've seen similar when looking for paint on-line where prices could be x3 to x4 times that of pre-lockdown. It's the law of supply and demand and possibly what people are prepared to pay if they have time on their hands and need/want to get on with a job. Until last week many places selling at previous prices only had delivery slots in 3 weeks time (or only had limited picking staff to processes the orders any quicker).

I want some more BAC50. In January it was just over £24 (incl postage)for 5 litres - last week when I looked it was around £50 to £75 for the same quality. One Ebay seller wanted £30 for 0.5 litres. It was more expensive 3 weeks into lock-down but I assume more supplies have now become available. I can wait until some sanity returns.

I also note that on-line suppliers who used to have practically permanent discounts or sales have dropped these and are now selling at a higher price.

Apparently it started with a shoe, lino and furniture polish produced by a company called Ronuk, which got is name as an Anglicised form of a word suggested by an ex-Indian Army officer signifying brilliance.
