Would that be £49.99 at MAKRO

or

£49.99 +the VAT at MAKRO

MAKRO are very very very good at bargains until you add the VAT and check prices elsewhere....

I can confirm purchase of this today at £49.99 (+ current rate VAT) also, so assuming nationwide.

There is an on/off power switch - which some hard drives don't have.

The title of its4pjw's first post confirms this (please re-read - the post is clear despite the two 'r's). The OP has used the abbreviation TB in the body of the post.

So, in answer to your question - yes.

Can we be a bit less pendantic about spelling in posts?

This is a newbie, and deserves a little bit more consideration, as Martin has recently requested.

Just to point out that some people have conditions that affect their ability to spell, so please don't be so quick to make public corrections about something as irrelevant as spelling is in the overall context of this site, ie. money-saving. Perhaps send an PM in future to the poster.

Some people type quickly or are busy. Yet others might have English as a second language.

Please have some consideration.

This site is related to money saving, and in no way professes to be a spelling and grammar site. The OP was pointing out a relevant bargain that could save some people money (and avoid paying the inflated RRP). I don't see how a 'c' instead of a 'k' or two 'r's could possibly detract from the overall read of the post.

Good point, BUT why hasn't the OP pointed out that this deal is not available to everyone? To purchase an item in Makro, you must have a trade card, which is only available to businesses or some public sector employees.
