RE: X10 pricing in the UK.

["Mick Furlong" <hiltoneltd@xxxxxxx>]

Late last week I happened to pop into my local Homebase and picked up the
same kit for ?14.99 ;)

I guess they must have found it buried under the pot plant holders or
something!

Seriously though there are a number of deals available for X10 kit and you
just have to search out the best.

www.protectdirect.tv has been discussed on this list recently, I think it
is unreasonable to expect the web site to be updated everytime a new short
term deal comes out.

I personally have never ordered anything from letsautomate but I understand
that the support they provide both pre and post sales is excellent. The
range of products they stock is also much more extensive which leads to
higher overheads and prices to sustain the business.
