Default Re: Workshop lighting

Many trade outlets have a "list price" which they charge members of the public without an account, and this is often freely publicised in literature and online etc. and tradesmen can show this to their customers. Naturally, VAT has to be added too.

What is not made obvious to the public is that account holders are generally given a discount, which is quite often huge (e.g. tens of percent).

As a non-account holder, it's always worth asking: "Is there any discount you can do me on that, please" or words to that effect. Sometimes, I've had prices almost halved like this.
