very interesting, I will be checking ebay the next load of elements I buy.
I am sure Masterpart will want to comment on this as they are sponser of the ‘trade spares’ thread.

When you check the directors of Spares4Appliances and masterpart the same name appears
Re: masterpart ebay shop
I heard espares advertising on our local radio station last night on the way home. It just seems there is a massive push to sell spares at the minute.

Re: masterpart ebay shop
£5.96 incl. vat and RM 1st class delivery.
Compares with £6.49 ea or £5.99ea if you buy two excl vat excl. delivery had I bought it as trade.
I really don’t quite understand why they do this. It’s not as if the people who buy odds and sods like this off ebay are going to turn into loyal customers.
I pressed the buttons to pay for this at 10.33am Monday. The part was only marked as despatched on Tuesday at 4.49pm according to my emails. It didn’t get here till Thursday. Not brilliant performance on that score. I’d have done better to pay a few pence extra and get it from LM electrical (Taunton, I think) Their stuff always arrives next day.
Were any explanations offered at the meetings?

The trade will buy more from a Supplier than one off customers and over long periods of time. If we all were to start buying via the routes being talked about then the trade buyers like everyone here would not need to buy from the supplier the end result obvious I think !
So Masterpart should respond to the points raised and clear this situation up once and for all silence is detrimental to the relationship trade buyers have with such suppliers, personally I think this is a short sighted way to deal with us

The fact of the matter is that we all know suppliers have their own direct to the consumer approach but what narks me about this is that Masterpart are selling at trade prices!!
