I went to YAR DIY Market in Famagusta this afternoon, the one on Karpaz road just after the general hospital. I was putting up a new pergola in my garden and wanted to buy some metal rawplugs to fix in on the ground. I found what I wanted but they wanted to sell me a whole box, about 50 pcs. I needed only 15 pcs.



If its a Do-It-Yourself market, its quite right that they should be open on Sundays as well. This is the time when most of us try to do something at home. However, if they have a policy to sell one whole box and not less, then it means that they are aiming at the crafstmen. They better make up their minds about their potential customers. I am not going there again.

Don't worry Elko no doubt they will soon catch up with more 'advanced' DIY retaliers like those found in the UK.



There they will happily sell you small units of things like 20 screws as well as 250 pack of the same screw, just the price per uint of the 20 pack will be nigh on three times the price per unit of the 250 pack. In fact that kind of mutiple will show through out their large product ranges, where ever they helpfully offer small amounts or pack sizes to help customers save money , whilst charging them 2.5 to 3 times or more for the priveledge.
