    There really is no point anymore. Dfh will continue to repeat the same thing over and over again despite clear and patient explanations given as to why he is wrong. It's like talking to a turnip.

    Prices have to be proportionate to quality. That is why a Bmw can cost 50000 but the manufacturer cannot charge 50000 for ka.

    Thus the statement that companies can charge whatever they want does not hold true.

    I don't know much about cars, but I believe i'm correct when I say many vehicles actually use the same engine, but the vehicle design and functionality is different in order to target different markets and therefore different price ranges.

    So the price difference between some motors may not actually be determined by quality, but by staff and brand............

    We would also have a mcdonalds charging 10000000 for a burger , kfc charging 1000000 for a bucket , a can of coke selling for 100000000.

    So companies cannot charge whatever they want.

    How many customers do you think they would attract with this pricing strategy?

    Our new drop off facility, located on the ground floor of our multi-storey car park, costs drivers £1 for 10 minutes* to drop off or collect passengers.
    The new premium drop off facility is undercover, protecting users from Scotland’s weather, and has 52 pull-in bays to reduce double parking.
    The £1 drop off facility is located less than a minute’s walk from the terminal.


    You doubt me??
    I wouldn't dare after that :p

    How brazen can they get?

    I think I shall send Edinburgh Airport my charge for doubting their business model - 1000000000000. Anyone who knows me knows that's quite normal.

    Also, how to DFS get around these 'rules'?

    They sell inferior crap at over-inflated prices
  • Well, they can advertise at any price they want, they can only SELL at prices that customers are willing to pay, otherwise they go out of business.

    By the way, I run my own ltd company, I am selling my calculator for £100m. Your argument is now (even more) defunct.

    I don't hear any police knocking on my door...

    If it was the case, companies could charge 1000000000 for a pen, 10000000000 for a notebook , 100000000 for a pencil.

    Which goes to show companies cannot charge whatever they want for their products.

    Funny you should mention that. My pen is now for sale at £1bn, £10bn for my notebook and £10bn for my pencil.
