    The title of this thread is somewhat ambiguous.

    The actual cost is £25.97 plus VAT - not the £9.99 as suggested. This is plus postage.

    I guess it's OK if you want 20 not so cheap DVD-RWs and a dirt cheap DVD player. Not a great deal though.

    Since when did it have to be a 'great deal' just a good one will do. If I hadn't bought 10 of the same discs last week I'd be there.
    All the World is a Stage; and I'm going through a difficult one at the moment!

    well it needs to be short-lived bargain to be in Grabbit, is there a timescale to this? Otherwise good deals should be put in the Shop but don't drop board as the Grabbit posting guidelines explain

    I have amended your title to show the true cost of this item

    When I visit the page the price for the DVD+RWs and the player is £25.97; add shipping at £5.95 and it comes to £31.93 all in. That definitely is a good deal, it's just a question of whether you have a use for 20 DVD+RWs....I don't, personally.
