Dublin Toy & Train Sale

I did ask a trader once why the sterling prices in a Euro zone and was told that it would be too time consuming to re label everything.

If somebody did it the other way round, you would be able to hear the moaning on your side of the water....

Poor explanation. The punter should always be the priority. My prices are all in euro, but anytime "up north", I make sure to have labels with dual pricing. And a conversion sheet for every price permutation, as well as sterling and euro in the kitty. Heck, you can pay me in dollars if you want...

I wonder if that excuse would work if I was caught at 60mph in a 60kph zone?

That's pure laziness.... a retailer who can't be bothered to price things in the customer's currency can't be too eager to do business....!

I'm going to start using £/s/d again and see what happens.

Mmmm, I've got the same badge on the front as their new ones have....

 

 

..I'll just head North and hide out at yours..

That might be ok in Dublin, but let's not try that in Dubai,

Out running when the registered owners name and address is probably already displayed on the console provides merely ephemeral escape, not to mention the digital number plate and facial photo!!! Don't always need muscle anymore, instead smartware and intelligence.

 

As to some of the toy fare pricing in sterling I agree it is really annoying and insulting, but I think perhaps we are making a bit of a meal of it. Be it laziness, ignorance, sharp practice, europhobia, or just plain thickness its not the end of the world. I've got some good deals there in Euro and Sterling prices. It's more of a problem now than last year due to the big change in exchange rate last winter, with most folk not realising just how much a sterling priced item will actually cost in euro at current exchange rates.

If you have a 3 or 4 digit number plate you will never be stopped out there!

[Broithe]

I only have a two-digit number plate.....

 

You can make currencies work for you - some people have some very strange ideas about exchange rate arithmetic...

I agree! Since when was €1 = £1 or vis versa? Funny enough me and a friend were talking about this the other day haha.

All models should be priced at sixteen shillings and thruppence three-farthings.
