Good call Timmo, but while I've been hanging around by some trade counters I've found that they (not all of them) are not averse to selling to the public.

I have access to an ADI cash account through work and have made it very clear to the desk that its for my own domestic work.

They seem more than helpful.

I have every confidence in you Dave, keep up the good work.

don't take this the wrong way but I hope ADI don't sell to you unless you are in the trade.

lol ok

I know it happens

Good luck with that.

don't take this the wrong way but I hope ADI don't sell to you unless you are in the trade.

And yet they will in all reality give better prices to cash customers than the poor account holder behind him.

Ive seen it happen, so has someone else here.

Not just adi, it's common

I can't comment on pricing, but if someone walked in and said here's my shopping list surely the sales manager would be daft to turn them away. I know it's not going to be a ground breaking sale but the customer wants to give you their money.

I also appreciate the installer behind in the queue waiting to order a ton of gear now has to wait.

Sadly they won't turn you away, and the Manager is short sighted for serving JP.
