I am really hiting a brick wall here with(tim the bed seller) where oh where oh where is the scam!if there bad quality cheap imports,why has it lasted so long?. I am not trying to get into a row with you but cant you see,I take one of your points on board about bankrupt stock,whats wrong whith selling bankrupt stock?.But personelly i dont think someone could be selling bankrupt stock all the time,and of course you can get wholesale for£100-all these little bed shops that sell for £250 or £300 quid,thats all there paying for them,go to smartprice in grimsby,i dont know if you come from anywhere near there or not,theyve got them£299-for double.are you going to say thats a scam as well,i think to much conspirecy theary here,(JUST GOIN TO HAVE A CUPPA WITH ELVIS,PRINCEESS DI AND JACKO) but honestley dont you get at all what i am tryin to say.by the way your actually proberbly a sound bloke so not meaning to be personell or anything your just looking after your buissness interests and i respect that.but please just ponder for a sec what i am saying:beer:0

If nothing i have said makes any sense fair enough i do sleep very well on mine. let everyone else go to dfs or harveys or benson for beds,spend a fortune on a bed thats definitly overpriced,i will conclude by saying that this is the only true scam here( big companys big prices:money:0

It is becoming more and more obvious why you don't want to answer my questions. Either you are just making it up to cause an argument, or you are selling them, and you are trying to regain your credibility.
Shops wouldn't be selling them for £299 if someone could still make a profit at £100.0 -
not saying you can make a profit at£100 saying manufacterer sells £100 for quantity. Sell at£160 £60 profit not £199 profit, stack em high sell em cheap, thats how alan suger started,like i said go to smart price in grimsby if running a shop you need more profit (IVE GOT THE FEELIN IF THE SHOP TOLD YOU TO YOUR FACE YOU COUDNT ACCEPT IT)Like i said only scam big shop prices everyone knows that ,More conspirecys again .if mine lasted another 10 years you conspirecy fanatics,will still say ive been ripped of.I wonder how much your beds cost how long will they last,long enough to validate all the extra cost(NOW DONT BE GREEDY)naughty naughty:j0

Read the original post.......they were selling them for £100 out of the back of a van.
You said that a supplier in Manchester (who you refuse to name), is selling them for £100 if you buy 25. So obviously the supplier would need to make a profit, and so would be buying them (or producing them) for about £50 each, otherwise they wouldn't be making enough profit. To make them at that price they wouldn't contain good quality materials.
So if the man in the van was buying them from the company in Manchester, then how would he be making a profit by selling them for £100???????????
I do know the bed industry, and I know the mark ups that many shops put on their products, so don't try to lecture me on the bed industry.
Now are you going to answer my questions????0 -
WHAT IS YOUR MARK UP ON YOUR BEDS.LIKE I SAID THERE IN TWO SHOPS I NAMED,THEY ARE MANUFACTERED IN MANCHESTER,SOLD TO DEALERS AT£100EACH (NOW YOU CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS I HAVE ASKED ABOUT FIVE TIMES (WHERE IS THE SCAM! )YOU KEEP SAYING HOW BAD QUALITY WHY?. AND WILL YOU PLEASE ANSWER THIS, WHY IS MINE FINE AFTER 18 MONTHS.IT IS GETTING PATHETIC HOW YOU GREEDY BED SHOPS CAN :rotfl:GET SO LOW,AT THE THOUGHT OF YOUR CHEAP WHOLESALE PRICES BEING REVEALED,AND FEAR SOMEBODY ELSE GETTING A BIT OF TRADE! IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CONNING COMPANIES HAVE HAD OUT OF HARD WORKING DECENT PEOPLE,AND WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS ON THE SCENE SELLING THEM FOR LESS.YOU COME OUT WITH RUBBISH LIKE ITS AN INFERIOR PRODUCT,YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT TO JUSTERFY YOUR OVER INFLATED PRICES,NOW THAT IS ACON AND A SCAM.I believe anybody with a bit of commen sense who reads this will understand that.:mad:0

On a further note i used to be in thr double glazing buissness which i got out of(didnt like the practice of over zealous salesmen)but the point is this retail cost for window£300--wholesale cost of window£150--manufactuing cost less than£30each.but the windows were fine its just economics THE SAME IN MOST TRADES.so instead of slating people for getting up in the morning out of there beds to get off dole,and working for a living try and encourage,IT ANNOYS ME BECOUSE I SPENT MANY YEARS ABROUD AND I AM ASHAMED TO SAY BuT BRITS GET A BAD NAME ABROUD FOR THERE CLOSED MIND APROUCH.It is getting full of-- paranoid --conspirecy fanatics oh its all a con atertude-- jeremy kyle rejects.My way is work hard self relient,play the game fairly,and encourage people willing to try! JUST SICK OF A LOAD OF LAZY LEFTWING MOANERS,WHO USE ANY MADE UP EXCUSE TO HOLD PEOPLE BACK!0
