Default Re: Maplin stores

Maplin Maidstone had enamelled copper wire numerous swg at £3.00 for a 250g spool had all their stock. Went to Strood, they didn't have any wire but many caps etc at 0.06 pence each regardless of value or type, also 50x 1N4007 for 1.50. Only went in for a few resistors ended up taking the entire stock of parts inc project boxes caps resistors and 2 analogue meters, and all for £43.00 what a deal. I think they could not be bothered to count resistors as i wanted 30 of each value got entire lot in carrier bag (reminds me of the mixed packs you could get not 1000's in a carrier bag full) still sorting them out into the bins i was given when they moved less than a year ago, sad to see them go like this
RIP Maplin
