    Is makro a members only thing like costco?

    Does it have PS2s too?

    I was in Game the other day and I noticed they didn't have one gamecube game in the whole shop - not even second hand :(

    I had a gamecube - brilliant console.

    Does the price include VAT ? Flyer prices tend not to.

    I thought makro was not for general public as you have to buy in bulk?Says your business has to be VAT registered and they ask for proof?
    Or can any Joe sign up with them?

    Strictly speaking, you have to be a bona fide business or self employed - though you don't have to be VAT registered - I'm not.

    It is also possible to get a card via some employers, your employer has to supply Makro with a headed letter saying that you have authority to purchase goods for the company.

    Does anyone have any further details on this?
    DD is desperate for a GC but when I asked about it in Kirkby Makro they didn't seem to know about the offer? :confused:
    Price was coming up at over £60 :eek:

    EDIT: Just spotted it on the sale flyer, £31.99 + VAT.
