I am going to have a play with the URF/ERF combo and also some IR stuff. I have been putting it off for a short while, but 20% discount is incentive enough to buy now.
In the beekeeping world the big suppliers have regular sales where otherwise high prices appear to become nearer to the general idea of sensible. We stock up with the bulk stuff that we know will be needed in the spring when the cost of not shopping early is uncomfortable.
Because the sales normally come around at a time when business would otherwise be slack because the cash is being spent elsewhere, it changes the spending priorities and causes people to dig just a little bit deeper.
Because I can make a small but significant saving and those devices etc. that I would probably buy in a few months time I have bought now and I am very grateful for the discount that Rev Ed have given me. I would have bought more, but alas someone was offering sugar at £19.99 for 15lg and I blew a lot of pennies on 75kg of sugar for my girls. As a stock item I hasten to add, as the bees are already fed and bedded down for the winter.
I hope that Rev Ed find that it's been a great stimulus for business and consider making tempting us again from time to time.
@John West, you will have to keep a few dollars under the mattress for the unexpected. Heartfelt commiserations.
