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?

look on ebay. When I was looking for a ride-on in January there were wide
variations between local traders - even for the same machine.


Haven't seen any new machines for sale on ebay.


"looking for a ride-on in January" could be the reason - that might be a
good time to buy. Won't now be a really bad time to buy one, since
people will be preparing for the new season?
