Been casting around on the internet
Pike & Co Ltd was dissolved in Dec 2012 according to Companies Hse website. Of course there may be no connection.

Also the Pike & Co Amazon webpage uses the Axminster freephone no to get the upgraded brass rollers.

Other Pike & Co tools are also unrealistically expensive.

Welcome back Brian. Sorry you need more tests but they'll surely get to the bottom of it to allow you back in the shop again soon.

Meantime I wish you and Ruth all the best.

The price of the scroll saw mentioned above is a bit OTT - it costs MORE than the new Excalibur "band-scroll saw" just introduced (about USD 1,200), AND more than the new Jet and Seyco saws (both with tilting heads like the "regular" Excalibur & Axi scroll saws), and both of which I see advertised in the latest US Scrolling mag at just over USD 1,000. Blimey, someone really IS playing games!

If you think that one is puzzling, hows this for downright unbelievable, found while considering buying a track saw.

Thats JUST THE BAG!
and they reckon they have sold 55 of them?

Bob, this happens quite alot. If the items out of stock they just increase the price and hope nobody buys it. I think it must be easier than canceling the auction or something.

[sunnybob]

sharp practice is what we used to call it. Its wrong. There could be someone out there so ignorant that they would actually buy it. Do you think the seller might then refuse the sale?

"Alex Whyte" is some kind of scam on Amazon, look at their Domino listing
I've reported their listings to Amazon several times but nothing happens
