done a small job for some bloke ealier. We was gabbing away to each other and at some point started yapping about Aldi.



Apparently Aldi is a god send for him, tomorrow he's going round at least 3 branches in my area buying up most of each branches stock of them remote door bells and then selling on the market stall for an extra £2.00, price in Aldi is £5.99. He buys most of the stuff that he thinks will sell and adds £1.50/£2.00 depending how well they go.



Enterprise or Aldi's loss.

Enterprise, most certainly.

Aldi are only able to keep prices down because they sell in *huge* volumes and only keep stock for a week or two.

If their end prices were higher, less people would buy and they'd get less of a discount.

Also customers buy because they know it's a now or never chance where 'never' is an indeterminate number of weeks. And some of the specials sell out very very fast - I look the last router table at about 9.00 on day 1 of the offer.

He really ought to try out Netto and LiDL outlets too, to see if they have some floggable stuff. Jim

Plenty of door chimes, and remote control alarms, im my local Aldi half an hour ago.

I could put one on ebay if you want :-)

People do the same on Ebay with Lidl and Aldi stuff.
