I am not saying they are.

But they are selling an IDENTICAL item for significantly more.

If they don't want my money I won't give it to them, it's as simple as that.
Plenty of places sell identical items at a 50% markup. Sometimes worse items at a 50% markup. For instance yesterday I had a Carlton Draught at the Watson's Bay which cost $7.20. An exact 50% markup on the $4.80 Hahn Super Dry's I had later in the evening. I imagine a super dry in the watsons bay would be up around $8.00.

Quite a rant coming up.

Went to buy this lamp at Bunnings today.

http://www.bunnings.com.au/brilliant-11w-30cm-mara-desk-lamp_p4370509

They had it in ******* purple and pink. What a joke. The display model was grey, which is what I wanted, but they couldn't give it to me cos they didn't have the globe. Went and looked at Big W and Harvey Norman. SFA there.

Come home and jump on ebay and find this

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oriel-Li...?pt=AU_Lighting_Fans&var=&hash=item2332b36580

It is IDENTICAL bar the brand. First is Brilliant and this one Oriel.

So I send a message to them saying

"This is $34 at Bunnings.

I will buy it for that price if you're willing to sell."

They reply with

"Hi

Thank you for your enquiry.

Bunnings does not stock Oriel products, so the product you saw there is may be similar but is not of the same quality.

We offer customers the convenience of not having to leave their homes to do their shopping, and in today's environment where time is valuable to consumers our prices are actually cheaper than Bunnings when you consider the fact we deliver for free to your door. As such, we do not price match with physical stores.

So I send back

"It is the same product with a different name, literally identical.

http://www.bunnings.com.au/brilliant-11w-30cm-mara-desk-lamp_p4370509

Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.

You either take my money or you don't. "

******* knobs.

And I spilt half of my cider before. Was not happy.

If I was Nick I would have replied to your last e-mail with:

Be angry at whatever you like, this is the thread for it, but in my humble opinion your anger is woefully misguided.

I assume you work for free? People are in business to make money. You either buy the item or you don't, it's as simple as that.

The thoughts in bold seem to be counter intuitive...
Not sure I know what counter intuitive means...someone has lost my respect because they seem to be a slut?

Do girls that act slutty gain respect from you?

Note: not say Miranda is a slut, but has been linked to 3 or 4 guys this year. So she possibly is.
