Default Huge difference in cost of same recievers !!

The same company is selling what appears to be the same gear at hugely different prices;

Topfield TF7710HDPVR 320GB Black [TF7710HDPVR] - £329.95 : Turbosat International Ltd, Your Satellite & Terrestrial Specialists

and

Amazon.co.uk: Topfield TF7710HDPVR 250GB High Definition Satellite Receiver in Black: Amazon.co.uk:

In fact the more expensive one has a smaller hard drive!

Also,

Topfield TF5010PVR Masterpiece 250GB [TF5010PVR] - £269.95 : Turbosat International Ltd, Your Satellite & Terrestrial Specialists

and

Topfield TF5010PVR Masterpiece Digital satellite: Amazon.co.uk: Amazon.co.uk:

It is the same company with same phone number.

Wot is this all about???

turbosat supply southern satellite and he has the 7710 pvr at 299. its down to supply and demand , what deals retailers can do with suppliers and whether me and you can be bothered to shop around. most people trust amazon so they might only look there.

just shows what the mark up is on the products.

As I don't have large overheads and want to be competitive my prices are normally very good, plus you get telephone support as Physcogem knows! and a two year warranty.

Also the price of the 7710 on Amazon from Turbosat is the older version which was £479 and had a 250GB HDD which are no longer available and I am sure Turbosat have forgotten to alter the details and price.
