I'm sure there are rules we don't know about which they have to adhere to... negotiating the price over the phone is probably off limits as it would ruin the face to face haggling experience which the viewer demands

I agree.

No Internet. No haggling on the phone or asking the price makes great TV but in practice is a load of bollocks.

If you didn't know what a cloche was you'd google it not wonder aimlessly around London.

I have also come to the conclusion that I am a combination of Stuart Baggs and Jim IRL.

Of course you can. Plus you can work out the right price and tell the fella you can get it elsewhere.

I've spent the best part of
£1 million in the last 8 years purchasing stuff.

Because you spent a lot doesn't mean you're good at negotiating, it might mean you're bad at it. A fool and his million are easily parted.

Internet must be banned but can't they start by buying a dictionary?

Do you have a million (GBP), yes or no fool?

I've been to Souks in the Middle east, markets in Asia, scoured the countryside on a motorbike buying from peoples houses, climbed volcanoes / mountains looking tonsource the best handmade tat. Oh I can negotiate alright.

Stock control though. I'm tulip at that ;-)

Is there any other type?

Obscene profit, the best type

Well MF certainly doesn't, he spent it buying "exquisite local masterpieces" churned out in a factory by children for $0.72 a dozen.

Don't knock child labour, without it you wouldn't be buying those clothes so cheaply and CM wouldn't be able to afford that Louis Vitton handbag. :-)

Of course, a tulip -ve profit, commonly known as a loss.
