Maxell DVD+R - 25 for £7.76

Amazon have these for sale at £7.76 -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxell-DVD%2BR-spindle-storage-media/dp/B000FJHBAS/ref=sr_1_13/203-5428906-3311917?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1181028881&sr=1-13

Richer Sounds sells them too at £9.99 -

However, Richer Sounds does say it will match prices with any other retailer, and give you a fiver to boot for purchases under £100. By my maths, that works out as a real bargain!!!

    that is excluding postage though and as it's from a Marketplace seller the postage won't be cheap.

    I must admit this doesn't seem like a Grabbit bargain to me :confused:

    I'd compare prices with https://www.svp.co.uk - I don't think this is a grabbit either

    Original posting said £2.76 (including the £5 back from RS) - I'm not sure who or why it was changed. Oh, I did check on SVP first, but they don't stock the same product.

    I don't think the RS price beat would work because: "Excludes special orders, accessories & MP3" and these I am sure they will tell you are considered to be accessories (although we all know that really they are consumables!)

    For my money I'd go for Verbatim with Taiyo Yuden dye

    http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1523 at £5.29 for 25 (+P&P)

    or

    http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=2004 which is 100 16x Maxells for £15.29

    Buy two of those and you can get a tenner off from Google Checkout too, but of course, only money saving if you want 200 DVDs!

    3 for 2 on maxell +R and -R. Works out at £8.66 for 50.

    Maxell -R used to use YG03 dye - not sure if they still do.

    I agree with Sid Harper. Having tried all the others I swear by those Verbatims (Bought 200 from svp last week using the google £10 off)
    I'm Glad to be here... At my age I'm glad to be anywhere!!
