Very annoying! To some extent, this is just the same as any spare

out that building a car from spare parts would cost several times the
cost of a finished car.

Not comparable.

Would you care to say why?




I have no idea why your batteries are more expensive than for golf
buggies. Are you comparing with manufacturer's specific parts for
named brand buggies, or generic batteries?

Same batteries, same make, same capacity, same everything. Different
retailer.

I don't know much about golf buggies, but you can't compare generic with
manufacturer's spares. Even if they are the same product. That's because
they haven't got to have the same wide inventory for generic. So, if you
buy a battery for a top brand golf buggy from one of their dealers, how
much does that cost? Otherwise, as you say, it's not comparable.
