      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.

            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 get the impression they are not allowed to research on the internet either. Bloody stupid if you ask me. Which you didn't.

                      Or phone anyone who might be helpful
                      118 118 will attempt to answer any question you might have

                      I've a feeling that all phone numbers might have to be pre-approved to prevent any outside assistance
