B & Q scam ?

I wasn't talking about agreeing product specifications at the start of the contract I was talking about changing specifications of a product already being sold just because of a new price policy which is what your post implied.

That is not what any of my posts implied. In fact I have tried to explain to you three times now that they set their specification at the start of the contract.

As I said, if you were anything to do with management in retail, then you would know this.

the timber mouldings i compared were from the same manufacturer, but B & Q's ones were labeled 0.5mm different size, which is just the normal tolerance range, the manager of the store told me it's not the same product, full stop. I think it was something like £7 a length, were i was buying it from a small DIY shop for a couple of quid.

i work in the trade, and B & Q prices are far far beyond anything reasonable i ever buy, i buy trade and retail, so for them to claim theres any kind of fair price going on is a laugh. Most DIY'ers don't realize they are being done on a tin of paint, or a bit of B grade timber.
