johny Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I love these door switches and the prices people ask for them😅 Look at this one - they sell for that and more. Some people just got too much money... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203821796917?hash=item2f74b9ce35%3Ag%3Adc8AAOSwstBh8ulE&LH_ItemCondition=1500|2500|3000|7000|10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lalochezia is a great leveller; as Billy Connolly once said: when the Bishop of Scotland drops that big bible on his toe, you don't think he says "Oh, Dear" do you?

johny Posted February 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I bet they were better value than the switches! Im busy looking through my bits boxes as the trick seems to be to advertise them as being for something like an RS2000, or E type and then stick on a crazy price👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Taylor Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I favour Joyce, full punctuation and trying to straighten out squashed Linread switches to make them work again. Given that plenty of manufacturers used them, they seem overpriced (i.e. they are hardly a niche product), but what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 The following:- metal pin car door courtesy switches , brings up a load on Amazon? Obviously not the O/E. but nevertheless usable. As little as £3.99. free next day delivery, on many too?. The price of O/E ones?, somebody is extracting the Urine, In my humble opinion.

Badwolf Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 A slight drift here regarding postage. Colin complains about the cost of carriage to N.I. assuming that they will actually deliver. I was looking for grass seed on fleabay the other day (the mini wolf has turned the 'lawn' into a ploughed field) and found a company in Londonderry offering free three day carriage. What's going on?

I dislike 'wasting' money on postage, especially when sellers are too lazy to look for cheaper. There's one seller on eBay who has some great Triumph stuff but his postage is exorbitant, and it's unnecessarily so. How can one seller charge £6 to post a small switch when others can do it free?

That's the NI Protocol. It's designed to help goods OUT but not in - cynics will say it's to make it easier for us to deal with the EU and Ireland, but to make it harder to deal with the UK, hence the DUP walking out earlier this week in protest.
