Ebuyer - Price Bloat and / or Creep by News Reader
Hi, It seems to me that eBuyer are increasingly bloating their prices and allowing price creep on many items. What do you think? They used to seem like pretty much the benchmark of competitive prices before they were taken over - I think profit optimisation might be the new owners strategy?

I'll be pasing through London (the one in England) for a few days in November visiting friends, and they've asked me to help them buy a desktop computer so they can surf/email/edit word docs (but NOT gaming) while I'm there.
