If something is 'money for old rope' it is an easy way to make money.

Sergey

'Daylight robbery' is when you are asked to pay more money for something than it's worth.

Sergey

vecttra — 2013-06-13 16:09:59 UTC

If something is 'ten a penny' it is very cheap and easily available.

Sergey

Can you think of a shop that does good business even though what they sell is money for old rope?

Sergey

vecttra — 2013-06-13 16:11:27 UTC

Have you ever refused to buy something because you thought it was daylight robbery?

Sergey

What kind of things are ten a penny at your local market or shopping centre?

For example, socks in my town supermarket are very popular product among men and it is ten a penny for them.

Yes. I don't buy water at the stadiums as I think it's a daylight robbery.

Vidyapina

For instance a chain of stores selling cheap clothes:Pull and Bear,Bershka,Stradivarius,etc.

Belokon

Napkins are ten a penny in my local market.

Vidyapina

2013-06-16 10:39:07 UTC

I think so,If the item is high quality,it is worth its price,even if it very expensive. But sometimes in substandard stores strongly overestimate price, then I agree that it is a daylight robbery

Vidyapina

I don't know ,may be pies near the university)

I think this store which sells alcohol and the

company Apple. These products are in high

demand and it is the money for old rope.

Julia Af

egorsavula — 2013-07-03 13:30:06 UTC

No, I didn't have such situation, but if it was a daylight robbery ,

I wouldn't have bought this thing.

Julia Af.

egorsavula — 2013-07-03 13:39:02 UTC

Quite a lot of things cost a ten penny especially

if you buy in bulk, such as candy or some hygiene products.

Artyom Lysenko

tema92_07 — 2013-12-13 16:55:12 UTC

I think these are stores, which ~~are~~ sell~~ing~~

holidays items. For example, New Year's

decorations.

Artyom Lysenko

tema92_07 — 2013-12-13 16:59:30 UTC

I don't buy something if I know that it is a daylight robbery.

Because all goods have fair price.

Do you really believe all goods have fair price?

Artyom Lysenko

tema92_07 — 2013-12-13 17:08:13 UTC

Maybe it is a stall (kiosk) near of my house ~~with~~ which sells alcohol and cigarettes. But some of them are very expensive.

Julia L

ladylevchenko — 2013-12-13 17:51:27 UTC

If the price is too high and I know it is not worth it or I know shops with reasonable prices I will refuse.

Marina K

marinaknievskay — 2013-12-14 17:27:12 UTC

I think of chick boutiques. People pay through the nose for clothes, which real price much cheaper.

Marina K.

marinaknievskay — 2013-12-14 17:41:36 UTC

Once I refused to buy an eyeshadows. It was really overrated.

Marina K.

marinaknievskay — 2013-12-14 18:01:06 UTC

I think, matches is ten a penny at my local market

Ivanov

2013-12-14 20:04:18 UTC

I think that cheap good are always in high demand.

Ivanov

2013-12-14 20:08:23 UTC

There are a lot of senseless purchases in our life, which we commit very often, which was really a daylight robbery

Ivanov

2013-12-14 20:11:23 UTC

This question put me stumped. Maybe it is packet)

Kushnarova

2013-12-15 07:17:58 UTC

It seems to me that nowadays modern products is the money for old rope

Kushnarova

2013-12-15 07:18:43 UTC

As fore me, if I know that it is not worth-I will not buy it without a second thought

Kushnarova

2013-12-15 07:19:16 UTC

Perhaps some shops in Donetsk City are ten a penny.

Andrew Dotsenko

andots — 2013-12-15 10:13:50 UTC

There is time before the Christmas when all people buy wholefood for the festive table. Many farmers trick consumers and sell old goods to them. In this situation they sell money for old rope.

Andrew Dotsenko

andots — 2013-12-15 10:37:19 UTC

Every time I petrol I feel upset because the price for one litre of petrol is really daylight robbery in Ukraine. For example in the nearest territory in Russia the price for petrol is 1$ against almost 2$ in Ukraine.

Andrew Dotsenko

andots — 2013-12-15 10:47:17 UTC

MIvina, sweets and alcohol is ten a penny in my local kiosk "Niam-niam" because this kind of goods are in demand. So retailers try to propose a large variety to stimulate sales and keep head above water.

Alice B.

2013-12-15 13:20:28 UTC

I think that any small shop with essential commodities can be the money for old rope ‘cause such goods are cheap and always has a stable demand not depending without reference to inflation process or any other factors.

Alice B.

2013-12-15 13:27:33 UTC

The real daylight robbery usually happens when foreigners come to Ukraine and take a taxi :)

Mary

pankovamasha — 2017-05-23 12:54:59 UTC

I think, ~~the most part~~ most of brand shops is money for old rope. People make a purchase because of the label, so they buy products with a high price and low quality.

Mary

pankovamasha — 2017-05-23 13:09:50 UTC

Once I was in the same situation, but ~~didn't refuse~~ agreed to buy ~~that~~ those goods, because I had no idea what was the real price for them.

Mary

pankovamasha — 2017-05-23 13:24:42 UTC

Some seasonal vegetables and fruits are ten a penny at the nearest market.

Kate Zh

2019-04-15 18:35:36 UTC

When I realize that the price of the thing I want to buy is high, I'm looking for stores with an adequate price.For example, when I enter the market, I compare prices of different sellers and buy where it is cheaper.

Kate Zh

2019-04-15 19:01:08 UTC

I think that for ten pennies you can buy a variety of things, most of which can be seen in the spontaneous market.

Kate Zh

2019-04-15 19:09:15 UTC

I think that quite a few sellers cashing in on their customers by selling them a product which really considering the quality is no different from ordinary old rope.

Nikita F.

2019-04-15 20:41:09 UTC

Usually do it in the store "Treshka".

Smirnova A

2019-04-15 20:44:38 UTC

If I understand that the price of the product is too high, I refuse to buy it and look for a store with the best offer.

Smirnova A

2019-04-15 20:50:29 UTC

I do not know exactly what you can buy for 10 cents, but you can see and choose what you need or possible/

Smirno

2019-04-15 20:56:28 UTC

A lot of these shops.Sellers can reduce prices, but the quality of the goods will be bad, and people will trust and buy, although it is not worth doing.

Jane soilder

2019-04-17 08:50:39 UTC

I think these are some souvenirs reminding of this event

JAne soilder

2019-04-17 08:52:28 UTC

No, I did not refuse. I helped to rob

JAne soilder

2019-04-17 08:53:54 UTC

For 10 kopecks we can buy only half a pack of matches

Andrew (Foleps)

2019-04-19 19:51:49 UTC

now everyone is trying to do that

Andrew (Foleps)

2019-04-19 19:53:41 UTC

as I said earlier, I very carefully choose what I buy

Andrew (Foleps)

2019-04-19 19:57:59 UTC

stationery, but not all. I just do not understand why shawarma is so expensive?

Anastasiya Pavlenko

anstice07 — 2019-04-21 20:23:48 UTC

I think that, perhaps, it is products which satisfy to addictions, for example, cigarette. Because demand for it never falls as the dependence on this addiction does not disappear anywhere, but only grows. And also, perhaps, it is the famous producers of mobile phones.

Anastasiya Pavlenko

anstice07 — 2019-04-21 20:40:35 UTC

If I know that the price corresponds to quality and conversely, it means that I will not attach significance to the price. But it will directly depend on goods or service.
