    Of course, but Bunnings are a lot more expensive and probably only have 5% product range, so absolutely no comparison.

    Exactly,they are too expensive I bring many Items in for my own building company,I bring led lights in for example from a large Chinese company I sell them $6 cheaper than a major wholesaler sells them at here in Perth and the wholesaler gets the exact same lights from the same manufacturer as myself they are all too greedy.

    You can't really say they are too greedy, as they are simply accepting what the market will pay.
    They are operating a business after all.

    Competition is good.

    They have much higher overheads than we do and yes if people are prepared to pay that it's upto them
