Drug dealers?

Seriously, I had to get some really accurate scales because I was flogging coins on eBay for a while. I had to package it up real well and make sure the parcel was a couple of grams under the next postage band up.

The way it has always been is a pathetic excuse for utter apathy that the Australian people by and large show in being ripped off on a daily basis. Rip off Britain is actually quite good value by comparison
I wanted to buy a DK book on preparing and making Sushi yesterday and when I looked inside the cover and the printed price was £12.99. I then turned to the front cover and saw a sticky label with a price of $43.99 on it!!! WTF?

I think on a gram to gram basis, books are the new drug dealing in Australia. Maybe that's what we need the expensive scales for - weighing all our books
