Single Triangular quicklink
Price per unit: GBP 2.17
This would be exspensive at half the price imho
60p would be more like it, but this would have a nock on effect that the loops would have to drop in price as not even HoP could try and charge ~£5 for 2 bits of nylon
There seems to be an 800% markup on most stuff - or am i just out of touch as to what bits of metal cost?

I am going to have my 2 cents worth and just say that i find Mals wicks to be of the best quality. And price is fine, you pay for what you get and when i saw the lovely colour of the kevlar and its nice tight weave i saw it was better than what i have on my original staff and wand and so i was more than satisfied and i will in future still buy off him. Thanks Malcome, I am really enjoying my new fire toy!

my 4" tubies are still going strong, over a year after i bought them. And i've put those wicks through a fair bit. they've been used with different fuels, scuffed on the floor, you name it. and, apart from some fraying on the bottom, they're still great.
No complaints from me at all

I bought a pair of fire-poi from an alternative dealer some time ago..
Last weekend the two quicklinks snapped like they were crackers, and the burning poi flew through the air..
Thank god, I was alone and on stoneground.
I don't want to think about what could happend if I had been doing an indoor show..

Price per pair: USD 73.85
But still....beaming poi 73 dollars? I think thats abit steep, but everything else seems like its well priced.

In norwegian kroner, 73 usd isn't that much.
But that's because the usd is weak compared to nkr.
So shopping from us really pays off these days.

ok...
Beaming poi are as close to indestructable as you can get, from what i've heard. they take common, AA batteries, and they are long lasting. with 12 months warranty.
what more would you like for that price?

And you can kill people or yourself with them..
So if you need a few days from work or school, spin really fast with beaming balls..
