Nothing to do with Currys but for anyone with access to them Makro are
doing the Grundig HD freeview box for 25 quid - down from their previous
price of 80+ and the Sharp HD Freeview box for 35 quid down from 79. Don't
know [yet] what the performance is like but the price seems good.


I suppose as usual VAT as to be added?

Certainly. Always need watching Makro prices as many, once you add vat,
are not such bargains as they seem at first unless you can claim it
back. Still cheaper though for the Grundig as the best price I could
find was 38 quid on ebay [+p&p]

Eton, Harrow, Oxbridge . . .

That sounds good. I like to have one or two boxes in the van just to
help out the old buggers who can't or won't buy their own, but really
they ought to be HD these days.

You would claim the VAT back no matter where you bought the item
(assuming they were VAT registered), so the 'baragin' aspect doesn't change.

The point being that most people aren't.

I got 3 while I was there at the weekend, they were going fast although
they had a sizeable stock of both.

I think Bill's point is that it doesn't make any difference (to
whether it's a bargain or not) that you can or can't claim VAT back.
If you are registered, then you can claim it back wherever you bought
it. If you aren't, you can't claim it back wherever you bought it. A
price that only looks cheap because it doesn't include VAT is just as
bad regardless of your VAT status.

Not Makro customers.
