Need a fair bit of kit but it can wait until the sales now. I was wondering how much general equipment costs during the sales from various companies.
Maisies have a one day event late june but the fuel costs down to Gloucester rules it out as a sale for me.
So, how much generally do things like cedar national brood boxes, shallows and dn4/5frames go for when we enter sale season?
Who generally has the best/biggest sales on?
Thanks in advance
These were the prices from Thornes Winter Sale, so they is a large difference between prices now in season and in the sale! But items available now tend to be firsts (maybe), so difficult to compare prices, but a big difference if you just compare the price of a brood box versus sale price, and there were some thirds available as well, on Sales Day.
