Default Re: Maplin stores

Yes, in Solihull there were random part reels of cable. The only price information displayed was the discount. I couldn't be bothered to ask, because the reply would probably be more than I was willing to pay. I was tempted to make an offer to take the part reel off their hands, but I knew they would not accept this. I guess the staff have an interest in not selling the stock, as their job disappears when the shelves are empty. The liquidators seem as incompetent at destroying the business as the former owners were in running it. I wonder what the people who started Maplin think of all this; it was successful while they ran it.
