    Can I ask why they are shopping in Mayfair, one of the most upmarket areas of London??

    I remember a few years ago, a team went to the East End and bought cheaper

    Last year, Nick ripped apart a team for buying in an expensive area. I see the same mistakes here

    These lads know nothing about negotiating. How are these people in business?

    I'd say they were hoping that they might have picked up a freebie. Drycleaners often have unclaimed items of clothing.

    Think you may be giving them more credit than they are due.

    When they start making all the calls originally are they not allowed to ask the price? And can they not move in smaller groups? Seems very strangest have 3 people buying a bell for 8 quid

    They bought £900 worth of tea for £410
    That tea merchant is some rip off :eek:. She has a huuuuuuuge margin!

    Even then, they still overpaid

    must be only 2 cars per team or something. otherwise sub teams of 1 or 2 would be much more efficient.

    I see they have gone with a fixed penalty again this year. Always think a variable penalty would work better.

    Last year the team that won didn't get a lot of items but the list price + £50 came in a heck of a lot less than buying in the expensive shops so they won it.

    No a great advert for her business. She looks like a rip off merchant not a tea merchant

    It didn't show the name of the business so I doubt if it will affect business.

    Yep, no point coming back with all the items if you spend mental money.
