I saw Andrew recount a tale of arguments with a supplier over the battery deal (the same battery deal that has been on for a few weeks), and that the result would be the price would be higher on the next presentation, or they wouldn't be able to sell it for 15 days.
Lo and behold, it was back yesterday at the same price, including bulk buy discount, being sold by Andy Hodgson (with no tales at all and just sold for what they were - a bulk battery purchase).
Interestingly, the tale only started after he asked what the quantity remaining was, and then said "oh, there's loads left". Perhaps he was told that saying that wasn't the best sales tactic, and given a tale to tell.
