Some overpriced tables, good for copying

In terms of parts maybe, but the cost of CNC machining, labour for assembling, research, development, advertising and then the token profit cut makes it sound about right. Don't forget the UK economy is different to the US, and the price of materials, advertising and everything is a lot more expensive over here. Based on my sources and enquiries, the price sounds about right.

Well, "STFU" isn't exactly lovey-dovey language, either...

I agree.
I mean why bring the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union into this argument - they've only ever done good things.

That's what I meant! It was like "JERSEY REPRESENT," only for the farmers' union....

I've heard that standard retail mark-up is six (6) times the cost to make an item.
