RichL Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 like buying watered down petrol, Good analogy, I like it. Keep up the good work. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You tend to find in this industry that people want Harrods quality with Lidls prices. Oh what a joy. Yes but giving them Liddls products at Liddls prices is not the same as giving them Harrods quality at Liddls prices is it? I sell Marks and Sparks at Marks and sparks prices, if they still want Harrods then offer I Harrods at Harrods prices. I avoid inferior stuff and tell customers so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoid inferior stuff and tell customers so I have yet to meet a customer that hasnt had any involvement in the industry have a look at any of my high end kit and went "oh thats value for money" Unless you deal with people in the know 95% of people can't tell the difference between a pelco and an ebay dome. People expect the kit that they get for under a grand to have all the bells and whistles beause ebay says so whereas we all know this isnt the case.

goodwin Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 i dont know about anybody else but we are finding that people arent putting their hand in their pockets at the minute. our biggest problem is ebay! we get it all the time people saying they can find cctv on ebay. i was reading a post the other day on here and the guy was the same as many others we deal with...wants a quote...quote is handed to them...too expensive...they then go straight to ebay & bobs selling it for a £5... where do you draw the line on getting some money rather than no money. I know we are not the only ones doing this as it going on everywhere. what is the answer to it...having the attitude of get on with it everytime someone shouts ebay is going to end up with us losing our homes & business. and maplins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reidy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 There is an epic comment on one of their videos Here's the video (£375 system) Here's the comment This is daylight robbery I told my employees about these videos and the simple answer is he's chatting ******** despite the fact this is a price you would pay for a system 3x the size the real problem is the poor quality equipment. I am also surprised at the fact this system dose not include a control panel because that's the alarms brain and without it an intruder can rob you 20 times over because there is no alarm. Message me mate and i will discuss my concerns with you LOL Hey Ho, Lets Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Others 'This send out 32 beams' active device then? i think the clue is passive infra red... 'if i move probably only an inch and the red light will come on' probably quite an effective ad though securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
