The price of solder

Dec 02, 2005 3 Replies

I've seen some perverse pricing before but in Maplins, 250g of lead free solder is =A35.29 but 500g is =A314.99. I'll have three 250g reals the.

Strange. It's 5.29 and 9.99 on their website. Was this a shop? Perhaps they'd read the bar code wrongly or just stuck on the wrong label.

I did ask the shop to check the price and they said it was correct but it looks as though it had been marked with wrong bar code. I have to say that £15 seemed bloody expensive for solder.

You should have looked it up in the store catalogue and showed them the error of their ways...

Yup. Mind, 500 grams will last a fair old time for hobby stuff.
