Re: eh i dont think customer will go for this

yip , i know that particular suppliers price a bit ott

but i dont see how a manufacturer can price a part at more than the cost of the appliance

Re: eh i dont think customer will go for this

Probably because the cost to make the min quantity required after production by the people who make the tub is so large that a high {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} would never be sold.

Mr Xian wants an order to make 100,000 tubs, Mr Sven after he finishes laughing wants only 50, so Sven tells Xian to go and roast his nuts, they then compromise come to a lower quantity ordered on demand agreement (Out of stock 3 month waiting) and prices the tub so costly he’d never supply/order any.

I think its time to stop drinking now :boops:

It’s a great way of skirting round the obligation to supply spare parts for so many years. Just make them so expensive no one in their right mind would ever want one. Problem solved. Its so obvious it’s a joke. Bring back the days when manufacturers used the same parts for many years because they just worked and did the job.

Just what is that obligation? I seem to come across “no longer available” quite a lot these days.

It used to be for 10 years after ceasing production but it’s been reduced in line with shorter life spans. I always thought it was some sort of law to protect consumers but I think it’s more like a voluntary code.

Hoover used to stick to it but only on vital parts. I remember they used to do tricks like produce a range of vacuum cleaners with half a dozen different colour options but after a few years you could only get the main casings and bag door fronts in dark brown. At least they were still available but it didn’t go too well with some of the original colours.
