Hmmm.... be careful here.

Their list has DVD +R and -R at £4.99 per hundred but when you click the link they are £24.99

They list a 400Gb OEM 7200 IDE hard drive at £219.99 but you can buy a 500Gb Seagate from Dabs for £124.99

300Gb external Seagate drive for £89.99 but £79.48 at Dabs

I think that while there may be some bargains you should check with places like Dabs, Ebuyer, Misco etc so that you know if you are really getting a good deal.

Agreed, there are loads of items on it that change price when you click on them. Boo maplin... :mad:

Edit: and it lists 100 items per page, there are 11 pages all with the exact same items... go figure

Historically, Maplin's 'clearance' items (as opposed to their bulk buy-in special offers) have never been discounted by very much ... 10-15% if you're lucky and, as others have said, they're not the cheapest for computer parts to begin with...

If you look carefully at the top of the page, you see:

"Please note: It is the item in bold that is on offer, and the price refers to that item. In some cases, this may be an accessory item of the module, rather than the main item of the module."

This is why the prices are not always what you expect. You need to be careful.

I bow to the wisdom of others! Thanks.

Double check everything as there have been some very misleading plays on words before, ie motherboard bundles that have been not been the "bundle" but only one item out of the bundle. Not the best worded site.

This is a more accurate link.
