Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Hey, it's easy to mock, but maybe poor 5420 is severely dyslexic and makes great efforts to contribute to a written forum. I find his use of English highly creative - quite phonetic at times!   

As long as his posts make sense, it's OK. And if they don't make sense, a well-placed Eeehhh???? will get you an explanation.

I think that my spelling is better than 5420, even after 5 pints, but my spelling is normally really bad anyway

yeah but what I meant was just there are bound to be companies that add that little bit extra to the price, But just because one does doesnt mean they all do. and you cant assume that all the companies do the same thing.

Hire purchase thats an intersting way to look at it. But if people keep moaning about the price of SMODs then get a different class where you can shoparound for the cheapest fittings etc. (or make them yourself)

Its hard to think of any industry where the price of spares doesn't seem vastly out of proportion with that of the complete new product. Try spares prices on cars and motorcycles for instance. Part of it is because it is a lot more expensive to ship and stock a whole vehicles worth of spares than just the whole vehicle (an order takes just as long to write and process for a £10 part as a £10,000 pound one) but part of it is simply that the customers look at the purchase price (which is easy to compare) rather than cost of ownership over the lifespan (which is very difficult to estimate anyway).

Its not really ripping you off, its more that they use spares prices to subsidise new boat prices. Think of it as being like Hire purchase!
