I think that that's terrible!
Mind you, in the past I have tried to get rid of surplus neocate cans by giving it away and have been surprised when I haven't found any takers! Must be just a timing thing though as I am always hearing of families who are desperate for it while they wait for their authority number. |

Your right that is disgusting.
selling a box of 4 tins for $40, when it only cost me $75 for 12 tins. I know neocate can be really expensive, but if they are getting it on script then they shouldnt be trying to make money from it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I haven't got my number yet & I was lucky via word of mouth to get a whole script which worked out at $6.15 a tin. I was shocked to see them being sold on there. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

That's so terrible  I've given away surplus tins in the past but there's no way I'd even think of selling it  -------------

| Yeah I've given some away and sold some for cost, but never for profit and the ones I did get rid of were cos my son stopped having neocate not cos I ordered extra to make a quick buck. |

I saw them advertised too and had the same conversation with my DH. last wk! Given that they are mostly subsidised by the govt, it's a bit of a cheek really. We'll probably give ours away ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
