I have bought quite a few things from him in the past and probably will again.

Yes he is expensive, sometimes very expensive. But, if you need something in a hurry he nearly always helps you out. As has been pointed out several times in the thread, he has had the Yen / Pound thing to deal with, the break in and all of this at the same time as doubling his premises size, stock and staff numbers.

Saj will usually do you a deal on larger items to be fair but the way things are at the moment, he will never do you anything on something under £50 and rightly so.

It might be worth talking to Saj about member discounts, but this would mea us starting the full membership side of things and members producing an SES members card when purcahsing. We have talked about this kind of thing in the admin area for some time, maybe it's time to see if members want this kind of thing. Maybe we could do similar deals with other associates (although we don't need to with Gary Moulson, as he already does thi off his own back )

I do believe that this thread is a good debate and hasn't got out of hand at all, people are entitled to their opinions on things like this, as long as they don't get too out of hand.
