Even with phone calls today best I could get are:

Direct Powered Transponder for use up to 160 mph
Net £289.00 Gross £339.58 10% off = £305.61 + carriage £320
Battery Powered Transponder for use up to 160 mph
(includes charger and bracket)
Net £326.00 Gross £383.05 10% off = £344.74 +carriage £360

Which are the retail prices BUT for ordering 10 can get 10% off

Not great which is why I called then today and tried to get a better deal

Carriage to me is going to be £65 - still a bit gob smacked about that also

Let me know or suggest another supplier to contact and I will happily chase for us all

Admirable efforts but hardly seems worth the hassle... isn't trying to get a discount on transponders in March like trying to get a discount on roses on Feb-13th? Even more so if there was only one guy in the whole world who was growing the type of roses you needed.

I know I wouldn't discount if I was AMB.... as I'd be sat there knowing you were going to buy one whatever. I know they are S**t and only cost about £10 to make but they have a monopoly on the situation and you can't change that.... I bet there is cock all margin in them for the resellers to discount to you.

Sean - give me a shout so we can discuss - I have had them reduce the number for 10% off to 5...and may be able to get cheaper shipping - but yes it is hassle for little gain - but started now - think they need competition :soap

1. sean foley : direct power
2. bmwrdc : battery power - confirmed
3. ralph kirk : direct power
4. Automac : direct - confirmed
