i here alot on here about trade price direct from vx
how do you go about getting this and how do you prove it
i was always under the impression that you only got trade price if you worked for vx or maybe in the trade?

cheers baz

I think that is the general idea. People who are not connected with the trade probably won't be able to get a card, unless they are very good blaggers and also have some documents.

Either you are in the trade, you have a trade club number or as in my case... the parts lads at my local dealer are a good bunch & they would rather keep a regular customer happy, all they do is put a cash charge through to a known trade account

Yeah, I almost always get full trade, the two main guys on the parts counter at my local dealers have known me for years as a regular customer.

They keep a list of "dormant" trade club accounts stored away, to use specifically for this purpose. They just do it as a cash sale to one of those accounts for me usually.

Not everything is on trade club though.

So what actually is the criteria for a trade club membership - and how do you get one?
