now tis not a good time to be buying said items as the floods have increased the price of these items

as me n shaggs found out they have even hiked the price on drives they have in store already even tho these fckers were in the country before the floods

this has been a public anouncment by umbongo(uk)on behalf of the ripping off basterd in pc shops who are being greedy twats on products that werent even in the country at the time of flooding and prolly say made in 2009 on them

1, shops base their price on replacement stock not current stock, this lets them take advantage of price changes up or down, petrol stations do the same (doesn't go down very often)

2, drive stortage is only partially due to floods, there was good stocks in the warehouses but the major manufacturers panic bought to make sure they have enough for christmas and created a retail shortage quadrupling prices in just over a week.

3, look to normal service restarting sometime after the new year
