Just called and no stock in any local shops in Wilts :(

 

None in stock anywhere in the West Midlands :(

 

This would ring true with me. Argos do the same, they announce ridiculous bargains that are only actually available in about 3 stores in limited numbers.

 

Its something to do with announcing average discounts/price cuts and obviously renewing the stock with upgraded models.

What size rooms do you folks have where you can accommodate a five foot bloody TV? I am amazed that anyone would spend 600 quid on a goggle box, let alone a few grand. I have never spent more than 50 notes on a TV in my life, and can't see that changing. Is this a forum of professional consumerism or something :) ? Does the *rap seem any better on a bigger TV? ;)

Good luck out there, I hope someone manages to bag one, I was starting to feel a bit guilty for putting it up and people driving around etc and not finding any, but least now you have a destination to head for.

 

I am quite happy if anyone wants to print of my receipt as proof of the available deal if you think it might help.

 

Convincing them to sell the display model might be the difficult bit, as once they input it into the computer i think the price would come up as £599.................;)

 

Thanks Spike

I think you just got lucky there.

Nobody can explain that price you got.

 

Thats the explanation. They only knocked the price down because they are down to their last few in stock and want to make room for new stock. The stores listed are the stores that have it available for 599. They might not all have it listed at that price, as the manager might want it for himself, but if you take it up to the counter and scan the barcode it will come up for 599.

I don't think you tried hard enough Pete. If you want the TV, you really have to put in the effort.

 

Next time I think you should make a few more calls and spend a little less time telling the forum just 'how lucky' you think this guy is. :D

Thing is though....they're not down to their last few and it's not even discontinued according to their HO? They should never be reduced that far apparently whether they're discontinued or even shop soiled.

The stock codes provided on the receipt are listed on their computers at the correct price now, so scanning the barcode won't make any difference.
