Bamboo shot tube

Post by Old Man Oakley »

I'm sure I am late to the party on this one, but what do you make of these bamboo toothbrush holders all of 80p from Aliexpress?

Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

It would certainly cost more to make.

Aliexpress if worth exploring to some items! - In many cases too cheap! But that excludes the postage.

£7.95 on Amazon (£5.99 for a child sized one). Possibly a closer reflection of the full cost of growth, harvesting, manufacturing and transportation Wal! Perhaps it’s the Edward Barder version :whistle:

:Hahaha: Could be Phil.
I had a look on Ali express and many of these cheap things are only sold by the hundred or even by the thousand.
A possible business opportunity for someone though.

I think the opportunity may have been grasped! As often happens with an Amazon search, today I had an email offering me identical alternatives from the site. There appear to be at least 20 companies selling the things, priced from £2.99 upwards! Labelled everything from toothbrush holders to tea canisters via artists brush holders!
