How Much?

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Some people are clearly uneducated, just go and look at what the DIY sheds charge for tubes and it's no wonder!

Sadly, too many people really take the piss, especially with items like these which are not 'every day' for most people. The average consumer would have no idea what a fluorescent tube should cost, only people who are in the trade or buy them on a regular basis really have any idea.
