Hi guys,

Thanks

Thanks GoNz0. I thought that looked a bit pricey - last box I bought was about 30 quid, has it really gone up that much?

well the last time i brought a box was about 5 years ago, so i have no idea lol, i did a quick google and they were the 1st couple of hits i saw, scans not one ot overprice though.

it nearly doubles to go to 500m reels though, with scans free postage it should take the dent out a heavy shipping rate

copper prices are high tho, it might explain it on 1000 feet of the stuff.

another google points out thats cheap as other places are around 70-100£ for the same length

Buit add VAT and carriage to that. (Looking at the range RS stock - you can pay 5 times that amount for 305 metres!)
