Fed up of being ripped off!

How is it that scissors repackaged and marketed by both C&F and Marc Petitjean are sold here for between £30 and £36????

The Official UK RRP of these Rubis Classic scissors (Code 1F000) is ONLY £22.95 including VAT @17.5%!!!

Just got a pair from Kent Cosmetics Ltd (official UK distributor)

(And they didn't even charge for P&P)

Just to clarify, I have no association whatsoever to Kent Cosmetics - I'm just fed up of being ripped off

I paid just 17.95 for a rubis classic a few months ago from a company called fuzz off (think that they may have closed that company down and opened one up called Moom. see the site below).

Here are the details of the chap i got the scissors from.

I bought a pair of Rubis scissors from buzz. They are indeed half the price of Petitjean and co. Frankly apart from looking lovely I didn't think much of them.. The Dr Slicks I've had for years, cost about £10 are as good if not better. I like a serrated blade on scissors to stop the material squeezing out of the jaws.

I stopped using the rubis after a week or two as I felt they were loosing thier edge.

save your money gents!

Cheers

I think I can recall Phil Holding saying that the blades didn't hold their edge.
