[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1911915, member: 488171"] I think they've been ramping production up as hard as they can since it got launched. Sensors were in short supply at launch, and this year they've been the same - they could probably put 50% on the price and sell what they make. Even the limited NHS rollout will be hitting demand hard. (I suspect manufacture isn't entirely trivial - the self calibrating thing means tolerances will be very low.) Yes, it's entirely fair. That's probably how much they need to charge to keep in business - retail overheads aren't low. Isn't ordering from Abbott really easy? I do it from my computer, where I'm sat typing this. Ok, if I lived next to a suitable Asda or such I'd consider popping in to save a few quid, but that would still be harder than ordering online. Though I'm nowhere near one, so the option isn't there for me :-) [/QUOTE]
