I agree under certain conditions.

I only paid £6 for delivery, approximately 10%.

I picked up two for £2 at Gosport, they only require a good wash. I also
bought four off Ebay at resonable prices. I was lucky there wasn't much
competition at the time.

I think searching for stuff is half the fun. I'm also a bit of a tightwad
but know when to 'splash the cash' as it we're. If we we're all tightwads
that would really keep the price's down, it only takes one person buying up
everything at high prices to send prices up across the board. I've won a few
auctions but haven't secured any real bargains.
I think, you should just buy what you intend to use, although a stockpile
won't hurt if you know you'll use them. I bought lot's of tyre's but their
already earmarked, I'm already begining to think I didn't buy enough. Tyre's
don't even go far, for example a 6x4 tractor unit consumes 10 tyres alone if
you fit dual rear tyres! And then there's the trailer, an extra 6 or 8.
Buying tyre's to sell onto the U.S just depletes stock's I might wan't to
buy at a later date. I suppose I should just buy massive quantities when
they're available but that place's a strain on the wallet.
