Why take advice from us

The kinds of work behind the recommendations.

Anyone can recommend what they stock. We have been publishing since 2022, and the most useful pieces are the ones that argue you should keep your money.

The kinds of work,
all of it checkable.

None of this is a claim about ourselves. Every piece is in the archive with its date on it, ready to be disagreed with.

We told you not to buy it

Posts whose conclusion is that you do not need the thing. This is the bucket with no commercial logic behind it, which is exactly why it is the one worth reading first.

We opened it up

Board photographs and parts, for the products where what is inside is the whole argument. You can check the claim against the picture.

We put it next to something else

Options side by side, including the case for buying none of them, which is the case a catalogue never makes.

The test

A shop that never says no
is not advising you.

If the answer is always that you need one more box, the advice is a price list with adjectives. Ours says no in writing, with a date on it, and the oldest of those posts are still the ones we send people most often.
