I am only mentioning this as I planned to use my Tesco club card to buy the Smart Cover for the advertised RRP price of £35 only to be really disappointed that Tescos price is £5 more than the RRP. I didn't realise that there wasn't a law to prevent companies from selling stuff at a higher price than the RRP.

Resale price maintenance was made illegal in 1964.

You do realise that RRP stands for Recommended Retail Price, don't you?

Not Mandatory or Obligatory; Recommended.

I think most of you are being a little unkind to a Newbie.

Give over.

Thanks McKneff. I am really unimpressed with this forum with the negative replies I had been getting. It is very disappointing to see that this is supposed to be a forum related to money saving and I only asked a question why Tesco are selling items for more than the RRP when I thought it was illegal to sell for more than the RRP. Instead, I get replies that make this forum feel really hostile and unfriendly and I hate that. It makes me wonder if the posters replying are a bunch of 15 year olds looking for someone to pick on. its not on and I only hope this forum gets a little better. I was going to report this thread but I will only do that if it happens again.

Why let it get to you ?

Tesco are selling the item at that price because they can, its up to people (like yourself) to find if its anywhere cheaper.

Maybe some of the replies were a bit unkind. Using the usual reply " this forum is full of people who work with the fat cats at Tesco " is just OTT

Hostile and friendly - no
Theres going to be posters you like/dont like as in real life. I dont let hostile replies get to me.

Welcome to the forums.

The usual suspects/backstabbers ganging up on a poor new ie, who asked a perfectly reasoable question......

OP, the RRP price of £35 is set by apple. This means that other retailers can sell the same item for more-or less than the RRP.

HTH, and I too have suffered from abuse, including being a troll, just because I didn't understand. Something or gave the wrong advice. Try to rise above it, but most love the sound of their own voices and are just plain rude!

But the text on the linked page says "Apple Smart Cover iPad Mini Green"
