Well said Strangeways. @@*
Yes PBR deals in the dark days. But I get what I want at a great price (mainly EM stuff), alot cheaper than others.
I have an account, and I do a bank transfer once the goods arrive. No problems. Easy. I'll continue to shop there.
I do try to keep my orders to at least $500 or more, to get good value for money.
Gee, I started something here.
Don't get too serious about it all, I know they have great prices on a lot of parts, my comment was they difficulty in dealing with them.
Ultimately if too many people find it too hard, they wont have as much business, I don't mean veteran collectors, I mean the newcomers.
What actually sparked me off was them telling me I couldn't attach my list of parts in a spreadsheet.
Now come on, all of you must admit that is backwards.


PBR is backwards in their ordering system and is confusing to newcomers. Absolutely correct. Taken in context, they are backwards as compared to "modern" ordering systems such as Marco, BAA etc etc.. ..The sellers that use modern ordering systems are more expensive and deliberately overcharge handling and shipping. I'm used to it, so it is no problem for me - But I've have seen the frustration "first hand" and helped newcomers to either get used to the PBR system, or order for them as I order.

The speadsheet issue is a strange one. I've never used one to order.
