Ok, I know everyone knows this place is a disgraceful overcharging pain in the ass but what I had to pay today really got my goat. I purchased a Male Coax to F-Connector 2 metre cable yesterday for €3.99. Got home realized I needed a female version so went to Maplin today to get it. €8.29. I had to get it as the other place didn't have the female version and I needed it urgently. I also needed a few screw on F-Connector plugs which I had previously gotten for €2.99 for 4 (Thanks Tony ). Maplin are charging €3.29 for 1. Despite needing these I refuse to pay that much extra so went back and ordered more from satellite.ie instead. I guess these prices are to be expected from a store that actually charge for their catalogue!
