Rip off sex shops

Recently found out that our local sex shop is really ripping people off.

The owner buys his condoms from another shop in town, 99p for eighteen and then sells them in his shop at 3 condoms for a pound.

He is also getting most of his clothing and shoes off a web site called 'everything for a fiver'.

With the way things are people should be really careful where they shop nowadays.

Can't believe anyone uses sex shops these days anyway with what's available on-line. x

Get them from family planning for free

If not buy them online, sex shops have always been more expensive

OP - does one detect just the slightest hint of ...... jealousy there...?????

There is an easy answer - once one has calmed down a bit - go and buy your stuff from where HE gets it from.

Or, ditto, then open a sex shop in competition and undercut him...

What makes you think you have the right to buy something for next to nothing from someone who's put time, effort and expense to make the products you want available to you?

If you feel that strongly about it why not source the goods yourself?

He will have rent, rates, wages, heating and lighting to pay it's naïve to imagine that retailers can buy and sell at the same price.

Not really, but a shop isn't going to charge same price as its supplier.

Every shop puts a mark up on stock, my firm put a 60% mark up, I think you'll find it's called business.

You as the customer can decide to buy or not buy.

So a thread doesn't go the way you want it so you resort to the equivalent of the old playground trick of sticking your tongue out and giving the finger.

Cheers.

Some of us already shop around, just don't feel the need to post where on the Internet.

At the end of the day the shop isn't doing anything wrong.

And like I said I don't waste my money as I shop around rather than rush and buy from first shop I see.

But I don't feel the need to slag off a business that isn't doing anything wrong!!!

Well as for not doing anything wrong... he does sell prescription only medication under the counter and downloads and sells animal porn that he has burnt onto dvd discs and sells illegal uncertificated dvds from abroad.

So make up your own minds as to if he is doing anything wrong or not.

We only have your word that "he" is actually doing that though!

If you believe he is breaking the law isn't it better to report it to the police rather than on here?

Have done that but all that happened was that friend of his on the local force told him that he had been reported.

And he is doing those things as i know the person in question quite well. Just think he's wrong to be doing all that he is doing.

You can always call "Trading Standards"

They have the power to simply walk in and seize anything that is not legal.

Also any Pirate porn that he may have.

They dont even need a warrant.......

Commercial premises are covered by different rules to those of Houses.

They dont get search warrants for car boot sales, but do raid them for illegal porn etc.

Theft of Copyright is seen as hard crime, because your stealing from very wealthy companies.

They charge extra for the punctured ones as well.

Because they always go down on you

My local sex shop offers DVD previews, i.e you pay £8 and you are directed into a small room, with one of those TV combo units with a built in DVD player, a black leather chair similar to one you'd see on Mastermind, a box of tissues and a flip top bin... I think eight quid for a self wank is expensive
