L333 or has the world gone mad?

Post by fishiechris »

Just spotted a 3" L333 on sale for £199.

That isn't the price that I'd expect to pay. But they aren't common, and if the shop wishes to charge that much, I suppose there aren't many other shops around that have one at all.

That´s quite interesting, L 333 aren´t common in England? Over here in Germany you can get them everywhere for about 15€ in 4cm. But it seems, that prices in general are higher in England.

Very interesting. I can't remember last time I saw L333 in a "regular" shop - I think Pier Aquatics and Wildwoods may have some.

But they are reasonably commonly available as "private sale" items - just not in the shops.
