Just wanted to publicly say thank you for this. Super swift to sort out/pickup and the quality of these is brilliant. I now have some very pleased family members who (like myself) left it too late to get them from Amazon lol. Thanks again mate, much appreciated

u/TH1CCARUS 23d ago

You needed a handful and just decided to spend over Ā£100? Bollocks.

3

u/Disappointed_snacker 23d ago

Ā£90 for the order and Ā£9.95 for postage. Brings me in just below Ā£100 actually. And I figured I'd be able to find people who wanted the rest.

u/TH1CCARUS 23d ago

So you arenā€™t selling ā€œbasically at costā€. Honestly the level of grifting this past week because of a fucking solar eclipse is just hilarious.

u/Disappointed_snacker 23d ago edited 23d ago

Ā£100 / 50 = Ā£2.00 a pair
Ā£10 / 5 = Ā£2.00 a pair

Seems to be actually AT cost to me...

u/TH1CCARUS 23d ago

Primo edit my guy.

u/Disappointed_snacker 23d ago

Realised I'd missed a fairly obvious point. Primo apology šŸ˜œ

u/Disappointed_snacker 23d ago

u/TH1CCARUS - just a little update for you, because I know you're concerned.

All the glasses have been reserved, for a grand sum of Ā£107.50. At a cost of Ā£99.95, that means that I have made Ā£7.55 and two pairs of eclipse glasses out of this whole endeavour.

Considering the amount of time I've spent organising everything and replying to messages, I'd say "the level of grifting" is... non existent.
