Proof positive we Irish are being ripped off

The above is a screen print of a Danish Heating Supply Store Internet site http://www.hedestoker.dk/butik/komplet-pillefyrstokerfyr/506.

You will see a COMPLETE pellet boiler/burner plus Hopper and Auger set - - for DK Kroner 28,500 incl 25% tax (thats more than our Irish 21% VAT.) Less the Danish Tax the RETAIL price is 22,800 Danish Kroner. 22,800 Dk. Kr is equal to €3059 Euro at todays rate.

Add Irish VAT at 21% gives you €3701.39 inclusive. If you add say a generous €350 for transport to Ireland (a container load it would be a good deal less per unit)

That gives you a figure of just €4051 for a high efficiency complete system with recognised Bio Confort Burnerunit, Auger, Hopper and Boiler.

There is NO REASON why a very similar price should not be achieved in good old Rip-Off Ireland




- other than there are nasty, greedy, green-eyed monster, good old Irish gombeen rip-off middle men at work!!!
