I can't compete with that!

Wow! He is still selling at that price. Thought it would be a quick fad before they realised it was stupid but been going for a few months now.

About 6 months ago I was offered sublimation mugs at 30p (seconds) so he might have got hold of some. Might be able to make 30-40p then. I can'tfigure what they are trying to achieve. Even Iif they pinched the mugz it is not worth it.

Well on ebay if you sell a item for 99p and have a business account and shop your looking at around 14p left after ebay&paypal fees. 14 PENCE.

Not sure how you work that out?

[dazzul]

Narna me, thats with shipping on a 2nd class stamp. My fault its cause i was working it out with http://ecal.altervista.org/en/fee_calcu ... bay.co.uk/ at 99p and offering free p&p

[Andrew]

No worries. I see.

Regardless, the person doing it must be braindead.

Well looking from everyangle i can think off it cant be a loss lead as all they sell is mugs? so no cross/up selling maybe we're all missing somthing.

You offered the price that you felt was reasonable.. and I am sure most of us would agree on that but there are always people out there that would prefer quantity over quality and will go for the cheapest option..

If I offered a price and was told they could then get them at £1 per mug.. I too would just let them get on with it..

If we always lowered our prices to that of someone cheaper.. we probably wouldn't be in business..

I agree with Renniwano here, im a print broker as such for litho printing, and i will always always always get someone undercutting me, Ive competed at the high and low end of the market, offering thin paper for cheap prices and the best businesscards money can buy and somone will always go less, if i were to compete one of us would be out of business very fast.

Thats just STUPID 99p plus £2.97 postage let them carry on.
Talk about a loss lead.

Reading there feedback:
Print was poor but refunded without much problem so thanks!
One mug printed well, other arrived late and was a reddy colour instead of black
Took a while. Print was wonky on mug & colours were not accurate. Just ok.

Problem is,youread the feedback, Iwould read the feedback, but Joe Public doesn't. You just have to hope people like this go bust pretty quickly
