What a rip off website

Fomapan 200 at £7.99 per roll for 120, OK they offer discount for quantity but at £85.99 for 20 rolls thats still £4.30 a roll.

I've just bought 20 rolls at £3.14, postage from Norway added a little but still just around 20p a roll. So over £1 cheaper a roll, as I bought 20 rolls of 35mm as well with similar savings.

Have you missed something out of your post?
Or maybe your post has been censored?
I have had a peek at all of our sponsors in the links above and they all seem reasonably priced to me.
Go on. Spill the beans.
Whose website are you talking about?

Your purchases were exempt from VAT which is 25% in Norway?

big paul ,
the hair went first, then the waistline followed by the eyes.
I dread the day when I will wake up with my teeth smiling at me from a glass of water.

At his prices I wouldn't shop there, he strikes me as a rip off merchant, I will stick with getting my materials from Process Supplies and Firstcall, he certainly does not carry any Ilford other than Pan f and the orice for Foma, is he having a laugh

Hair - on a stand.
Eyes - in the specs case.
Teeth - in a jar in the bathroom.
Ears - batteries in the hearing aid.
Knees - braces ready to put on when the creaking of my knees gets too bad..
Hips - walking sticks by the front door.
Sigh.....

Okay, it's not that bad! But it makes me realise that now is the best time to make the most of now......
It might be a bit early to wish all my FADU contacts here a very happy Christmas (insert your chosen euphemism here..) and a joyous, prosperous, successful New Year.
All the very best to you all!
