yep, i also grabbed a set of Vel wheels from sigma sports
23mm alloy gravel allroad thingies.. was after comfort not speed so much 🙂 look nice, considering the money
Anyone seen any deals on Tado radiator valves?
I just saved $1200 on a Commencal Meta TR Essential. Glad I waited as I nearly clicked the mouse 10 days ago when they discounted $600
All this discounting does make me wonder what the mark ups are as presumably there is still a significant profit on the cost price.
76projects sent out a 30% off code for those already on their mail list… Was working on already discounted items earlier so I managed to pick up a pair of Exposure Trace / TraceR Lights for just over £50
£49 at Exposure's own outlet store.
Bikester one's worked great for me, I wanted another dynaplug so nabbed one of the kits, and they've got my favourite odi grips in it too so I've bought, er, 5 sets.

yep the bikester 70% one is an eye opener.
(The woho bikepacking kit is actually very nice,you can never have enuff bags 🙂 )
That Bikester PSA is one of the best ones I've seen for a while.
Ordered a WTB Volt titanium rail saddle from them when it was 60% off but now they're down to £30 each with the 70% That's an insane price.

Funny you mention as the distributers are sending email with "70% markup" in their titles.

As above, reports of overstock.. so probably trying to liquidate as much as they can before things really tighten.
Example:
Tifosi Offers - Up To 65% Margin
Discounting stuff by 70% doesn't mean there's necessarily enough markup in there to make a return on it at that.
It could very easily push it to below cost.
Anything sat on a shelf is costing money, especially if you're in the volume game. It's better to sell at a loss than not sell at all, and it can be better than throwing it away depending on how you account for it.
Tifosi Offers – Up To 65% Margin
Yes but no.
Sure the glasses cost eg £10 and have an rrp of £29 but you've got to pay rent, power, wages, tax, shipping, packing and so on. So by the time you've sold that pair of glasses at rrp (or more likely rrp -20%) you may only actually make £0.50, so yes the headline numbers sound big (and 65% Margin for a retail rrp is about right, historically it was about 200% markup to rrp back when retail meant highstreets) but the actual profit/return on that can be very small.

Yes but no.
Well exactly.. hence I haven't even opened the email 😉 just copied the subject line.
if you look at the 70% discounts on bikester, most of it is on odd sizes, colours, etc. stuff that's been sitting on the shelf for a while.

Didn't stop me placing 2 orders though! (one at only 50% off though the rotters)

I went through 30-odd pages when it was a mere 50% off, seemed to mostly be ladies' swimwear past a certain point.

Luck of the draw as to whether you find something useful. I ordered 2 Dynaplug inflator kits, 2 spare (bare) Fidlock bottles and a couple of Magura bleed syringes. With the discount it was worth having them spare for when needed.

Brand X Ascend droppers are £70 on CRC. Good price for a reliable budget post.
Garmin Varia 40% off. Light version has 20% off too. thought I'd give it a try to add to the Fly6
For random day-to-day stuff; as an immaculately groomed, almost Beckham-esque metrosexual I just popped in to boots to pick up some smelly stuff and their Black Friday offer is half price on lots of deodorants and shaving stuff, so I’ve just bought about 2 years worth of toiletries and shaving whatnots. Result! 😃
Climate change is terrible, why won’t somebody DO something??’
‘Oooh, shiny gee-gaws! Take my money!’
This.
However, any Whisky deals, Speyside, then let me know

Master of Malt has some deals but to be honest the best discounts are usually on Amazon. I've had plenty of decent mid-priced stuff from them before.
This one is worth a look:

For me that's a bar of soap and set of new blades... don't use shampoo except when I get grease in my hair from working on the bike/van, minimal soap so a bar lasts 2 yrs and can get a set of blades to last until they rust using the electric hair/beard jobbo.
Good deal on these Mavic wheels. £300 for crossmax XL 29.

2 years out of a bar of soap? Are you sure it's not been swapped for a stone?

Anyone seen any good deals of wool duvets?
Amazon as usual dropped the prices of Firesticks. 4k one is now £27.99.
seen that, are they much better than a standard stick? ours is pretty old now
v7 and anybody else interested, be wary of Biketarts BF sale , they say 50% off every TLD product , not strictly true 🤔 Resist trousers and hoodie depend on size and colour , so not exactly everything 🙄

I wonder if anyone has ever bought one at RRP..

You’ll be telling us DFS are having a sofa sale next 😉
2 things I've just bought that I've been after...
Weeride £44 at Wiggle
Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds £140 at Amazon
20% off at one up. That's that 240mm dropper I've been debating then.
Seeking a laptop for son to do coding. He recons he needs the best, I have no idea.
If you're on the mailing list I think Sigma Sports are offering a further 10% off. That would make the carbon wheels I fitted last night £360 if I hadn't bought them two days earlier.
That's a steal in my book
He recons he needs the best, I have no idea.
That shouldn't be a comma it should be because
dangeoubrain, ah, you’ve met The Teenager then.
I literally have no idea if he makes stuff up or is incredibly intelligent or both.
