Default Re: Maplin stores

I'm not surprised they're heading for the breakers. Their prices for everyday items are stupid. Who is going to buy a couple of F-connectors from Maplin when they are asking for £2.49 each? The same item from CPC or RS will cost just 16 pence each! Same goes for audio leads - they want £14 for a flashily-packed twin phono lead when a decent quality one from somewhere else is about one third the price. The last few times I've visited to stock up on things like copper board, LED's and plastic boxes has seen me come away with nothing as they are just not on the shelves any more. If they go bust it's their own fault.
