We all realise that list prices are only a starting point when buying many items - on a major item it is part of the game to haggle down 10 or 20 percent.
But I have just received an invoice from an electrical supplier for (among other things) 10m of jack chain - the lightweight chain used to hang light fittings etc.
97% discount - about £25 per m full price, 78p per m to me as an account holder.
Seems ridiculous - I can only assume that some electricians are making an absolute killing supplying to unsuspecting customers - cable not much better at 92%. The potential profit to be made supplying this stuff strikes me as almost fraudulent.
