Default Cartels

The UK seems to have cartels in the garden machinery business.
I have been trying to buy a new ride on 28" mower, but find that every
Mountfield or Atco dealer in the country is selling at the same price.
None of them are competing for business. Very frustrating. Does anyone
know of a website where buyers can ask for competitive quotes?


I don't have an answer for you but I agree. I have a Kubota ride-on
mower, spares are *ridiculously* expensive here. I used to buy them
direct from a supplier in the USA, even with international mail it was
far cheaper. However Kubota have now told them they can't sell
overseas, at least not to the UK.

I now buy as much as possible from AliExpress, even cheaper if they
have what I need.
