Argos UK vs Argos IE pricing

Argos seem to be one of the last UK retailers not to have updated their pricing to match the fall in the value of Sterling. I've eMailed them about a specific item, which they promised to price match, but as of yet they haven't. UK Item is here 231.56 :…

Argos seem to be one of the last UK retailers not to have updated their pricing to match the fall in the value of Sterling. I've eMailed them about a specific item, which they promised to price match, but as of yet they haven't. UK Item is here 231.56 :
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001501&langId=-1&searchTerms=7056923&Submit=GO+%3E

IE Item is here for 324.33 :
http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=30001&catalogId=1500001501&langId=-1&searchTerms=7056923&Submit=GO+%3E

And that's just on a garden shed, on nearly everything else I've searched, there is the same discrepancy. Fingers crossed enough people might question Argos' policy and they'll adjust their catalogue.

The big catalogue is only out about 4 times a year. They would not risk extreme flucuations in currency. Now their tactic is having these smaller magazines with current deals, which can override the big catalogue prices. Best go into argos and look at those small magazines which often have good deals.

Do we need yet another one of these threads, for gods sake there's actually a website setup to compare argos UK and Ireland prices, this is nothing new.
