20 replies

How much in total to deliver to the uk, Ive send you an email but being the weekend i wont read my work emails now till monday, but i can always look on this forum  

 

thanks again

Got your mail. From what I've heard today from a reseller the price of these bases are 0 on the price list. Lots of them bought them for 5 euro and sold it for a lot more. Try to ask your dealer what's the story behind this. Strange....

Yes ill give that a go, But im sure they dont stock them, Would you sell yours? ive got wall brackets but need the bases to move into another room when we have people over 

 

thanks 

Just rang around 5 stores and no luck, I should of really took up lee's first offer :/ i thought they would of been easier to purchased TBH

This is weird. Just asked today an official B&O dealer what the exact story is behind the zero euro price of these bases. He confirmed that indeed the price is to be exact 0.69 eurocent if I order them and it still can be ordered. No problem. I paid 75 euro for these a while ago via a "reseller".
Some of them are making good profit buying these and sell them after for a lot more...

Please let me take this opportunity to remind you all that we have readers from all over the world.
The english language is not read by everyone so many of our members and odd surfers depend on Google translations etc.
Of course, there should always be room for the odd typo or misunderstanding, we are only humans, but
deliberate use of slang words and "smart" replacements, as in the above sentence where "of" replaces the
correct "have" (twice), returns complete nonsense in some translations and many not-exactly-expert english readers
may stumble or wonder as well.
It's a shame, really - and unnecessary if you ask me.

We have agreed to limit the use of internet shorts (OMG, IMHO etc.) and not use txt at all on Beoworld for the same reason.

Rant over. 😂

Also the correct word is 'taken', not "took".   Not that we speak "da King's English"...   🙂

I suppose TBH means To Be Honest?

Oh, it goes WAYYYY beyond that; often we need a britspeak --> american english translation.  Remember plasters?  😕
