Re: Shop@

On the NASCAR forum, you get stars, well squares actually, like here but after you get five, they start turning gold and when you get them all gold they vanish and you reach a kind of senior status where you dont have any stars. I guess its like when a doctor becomes a MR. thats at like 10,000 posts or sumfink. I think we should have tallied up the old YAHOO posts, if they were’nt deleted so quickly and the anon posts to get a true picture of just who the senior members are here.
Sorry I have messed up your shop@ thread so much.

Six stars ? Well deserved anyway, award yourself another two for starting the whole thing off.

Ta mate for the site and getting us all having a yap 😀

Good isn’t it everyone ?

Believe it or not I think I still have load of the Yahoo posts back quite aways, all archived of course. 😉

I probably could do something with the stars thing if I could be bothered with it but I didn’t attach too much time to it as I didn’t regard it as a particularly important thing TBH. But if it’s really eating people I will look into it and see what can be done. It shouldn’t be that much hassle to sort, just blag some generic graphics from a few places.

As for the thread, no worries, I do not (like some admin/moderators) believe that conversations should be restrained to purely “on-topic” discussions, I never have and I never will. Conversations take their own twists and turns and very often end up being all the better and more interesting for it as well as informative. I am a great believer in self-moderation, people are generally smart enough to moderate themselves, especially on UKW, it seems to work and as they say, if it ain’t broke…

LOL, no I couldn’t stand the questions on why I’m a general or summat! 😆

You are more than welcome for the site as are all the users I’m just pleased it’s of use.

So to work out a true 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} mark up on a timer at £57.34 you would type into the calculator:

57.34 / 0.8 = XX.XX x17.5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} + = and that gives you VAT inclusive

Over the years my high tech ‘solar powered’ pocket calculator has held me in good stead when calculating VAT. So much so now that the {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} button no longer works. You guys appear to know which buttons to press with all the calculus flying about in recent posts on this subject. I cannot afford a new calculator at the moment, so can I get away with working my percents out by using the cosines and tangents buttons instead?? 😉 😉 😉

Now the sum of the hypotenuse is equal to the angle between the sum of the whatsitsname divided by pi, or is it the other way about? 😉 😉

Re: Shop@

hi all
I just guess then add the vat and see what the answer is
try with a higher number till i get someware near
normally guess near though.

Re: Shop@

In light of streetlighter’s post which mentions VAT, it does make a massive difference if you are VAT registered with the mark up thingy.

At the end of the day the simple formula is……

…remember that everything you sell and everything you do has to make a {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} profit.

That includes labour and parts.

Please don’t take this as a condescending preach type thing, but it’s fairly essential that you know exactly what your own overheads are to work out what you should be charging to make a reasonable profit on the work you do.

Dave.
