People being ripped off over Texan bars
« Reply #15 on: September 05, 2005, 04:52:59 pm »

Yes we do sell the new Texan Bar, they are available throughout all of our


16 cash & carries across the country.


Im not sure if you know where our outlets are so I will jot down a quick


list:


Loughborough, Sheffield, Bradford, Manchester, Stoke, Birmingham, Bristol,


Glasgow, Newcastle, Hull, Portsmouth, Coventry, Stockton (middlesbrough),


Cardiff, and Watford.


I can forward the phone number and address of the depot you need, should you


choose to and they should be able to answer any further questions.


Thanks,


I had this reply from www.hancocks.co.uk, a cash and carry retailer,unfortunately this only deals with the trade, but if any of these places are near to your local sweetshop then you could always ask them to check this place out.


Perhaps someone out there could buy a lot at trade rate and sell them to us normal people at a non-ripped off price?

I am not here to advertise, I do not work for Hancocks,I am here to try and get a decent deal for people who only want to get their hands on a Texan bar, I am not a retailer,or Cash and Carry,just a person who , when I find out possible information about how to obtain Texan bars, wants as many people as possible to be able to buy them, as we are getting no help at all from Nestle.

Catch23, I sent a reply to your private message
earlier today asking for your address so I can send
you a free Texan. The only people making a
profit/ripping people off on Texans are Nestle and
retailers who sell them above the RRP.

Sweetie, many thanks for the private message, the main people I was insinuating that are ripping off people are the ones who are selling bars on Ebay, I understand it is a commercial market but paying silly amounts, plus over the top post and packaging on Ebay is a bit sad I find.

Very true. Hello Sweetie isn't expensive . I'm still yet to look at ebay. I'm fascinated that people have them for sale on there.

I am not having a go at Hello Sweetie,in fact I have visited the website and find it very good value for money and a lot more "human" than other websites.


I very much appreciate Hello's kind offer of a Texan bar,if Hello feels insulted by any comments I have made then I apologise openly on the Forum .
