polybutler prices
 
Hi Guys,

Just been looking at buying another Polybutler box.

Have you seen the prices on these now :cry: £95 retail

Thats bloody stupid price, these used to be about £40 retail when Ted Longshaws dist few years back.
Cant believe these have doubled in price its manic

Think i will leave it for now look out for second hand one instead

One thought, two words:

1. Exchange
2. Rate

But I agree, even with the pound at the worst it's been against the euro, thats a hell of a lot of coinage for what is afterall just a hobby box. The prob is that there doesn't seem to be a comparable competitor in the market.

The plano box seems good, a shade smaller but good.

I was looking last year at them and I found one for £60, and that still seemed expensive.

tbh, im keen to downsize my RC gear and do away with my own Polybutler, as I am carrying so much junk I hardly need to open it up, except I do by habit more then necessity.

they are actually, paramedics cases, thats wha they are designed for, but yes, 90 is a tad steep

Me thinks they are also used for Horse Grooming (!) and vetinary stuff.. I wonder if they are cheaper in those circles?

They are extortionate in horsey/vet circles. £135 when Schumacher had them at £50.

I'm better off buying hauler bag than one of these silly prices.

Im going to save up hauler bag think it be better for what i want anyway

if you saying exchange rate thats still high for the cost of polybutler box, prob Schumacher trying to make bit more profit :lol:
