Have you noticed how some shops are putting things up by a few pounds at the moment.?

Question

I tried to buy a necklace as a prezzie for my grandson it was hollow gold and £65 marked up in the window....plus £2:50 for a box to put it in when the girl rang it into the till it came to £72:50. when i said it didn't add up she did it again £72:50 I said 65+2:50 comes to 67:50 the supervisor said they had put the price up but had'nt changed it in the window....I didnt buy it.

Answer 1

Its coz everyone is buying their chrsitmas prezzies now and so all the shops are taking advantage!! how unfair is that!!

Answer 2

good for you its terrible that this happened christmas shouldnt be taken advantage of by shop owners its so wrong

Answer 3

Good on you for not buying it.

I notice they put the price of hamsters up at certain times of the year too...

Answer 4

Yes. Food the lot is going up a few pence this week a few pence next it does indeed add up to pounds. I feel the supermarkets are not only ripping the farmers and other produces but they are also ripping us off

Answer 5

Excellent.  Naughty naughty. The retailer may have been commiting a criminal offence. Have a look at the PDF fact sheet at the link below. It will give you some really good ammo for the next round. Good luck,

There are some ruthless b*****s around this time of year, trying to take the poor old consumer for a mug. Show em what you're made of.

Answer 6

I know what you mean. I went to buy a blender yesterday and when I went to pay for it, the price was £10 dearer than what it originally said. 10 bloody quid! I told em to shove it.

Answer 7

The price of Gold is increasing all the time because of demand from India and China. What they did though is really unfair so you was right not to buy it.
