Very annoying! To some extent, this is just the same as any spare parts
operation - for a car, for example. There is a cost involved in stocking
*many* spare parts and only selling small numbers of each item, and
that's bound to be reflected in the price. Somebody worked out that
building a car from spare parts would cost several times the cost of a
finished car.


Not comparable.


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.




Ever owned a snake and gone into a reptile/pet shop for a 60W lamp to keep
the snake warm?

£4.99 in the pet shop for something I pay about £1 for at the wholesalers
and £1.50 for at a shed.
