It's the same in all trades these days. The wholesalers have a "trade" counter and most will happily sell to the public.

Yep, we went to Howdens to look at kitchen, and they said the same, "we only deal with trade". When we said we were wanting a full kitchen they said that was fine, just ask your builder to call us at some point!!

Because it will be booked to the builder and not you. Builders will get 50/60% discount from Howdens. Often there are promotional offers to them such as a free Dish Washer ETC. As far as a free Dish Washer is concerned it cost's Howdens peanuts so they are not giving much away. How do I know this ? A guy I know is the Branch Manager of one of their branches. Howdens are the remnants of MFi albeit extremely profitable. :)

Fleet Auctions and their buyers just aren't like that.

I've only been to blackbush which is exactly like that and the odd joke selling a clocked Hillman imp with no pistons for 300 quid

Trying to sell a Hillman Imp with no pistons is not a Fleet Auction :rolleyes:
