Default Re: Maplin stores

Wakefield seems to be regularly getting stuff from other stores. I bought two items this morning: A handheld usb barcode scanner for a tenner and a Q Scan Twincomm V2 Ethernet People Counter for a fiver. Not sure what I'll use them for but when I checked the prices online, the scanner was around £50 and the people counter £500!!!!!! Having said that I need a remote control, two reflectors and the software supplied with it. Anyway its very nice looking inside and out! They also had 3 thermal receipt printers for a tenner each and 3 Dummy RC Drone Copters with remote controllers for £30 each. They were selling them for spares, nothing inside but 4 motors with propellers. I couldn't tell if there was anything in the remotes or not but the twin joysticks seemed operational. Loads of batteries inc rechargeable sealed lead acid ones which had originally sold out on the first couple of days.
