TFD: Rip Off's
Not a very interesting discussion for the most part of all of you, more like a rant, but...
Some bastards broke into my car for the third time the other day, they thought that for a £10 (in 50p's and £1's) benefit of theirs, the guys who's car it is should suffer losses of up to £120. Nothing selfish or inconsiderate in that is there?
Anyhow, a quick call to Honda almost gave me a heart atack when they wanted £120 for a little corner glass no bigger than the both of my hands. Going second hand would have costed me £70 from my "all-honest-earner" mechanic friend. Forced conclusion - a trip down to a local car breaker. Price: Glass, icluding all the fittings = a tenner, labour and parts = a bit of elbow grease, half hours work and some swarfega to clean my hands, total = £10 and a huge grin.
Now tell me as a consumer I am not getting ripped off! Dealership outright blind; local mechanic crook who would have made 30 quid on the part and another £40 for 15 minutes work (if my math is right that is 160 smackers per hour!).
Where do we get that back from, what goes around comes around? I think it is more like what comes around goes around only to never be seen again.
DIY vs ROB, which will it be?
P.S. ROB = Ripped off blind (and DIY = Do it Yourself ;))

For the right price I can ;)
