I have two codes as I now have 4 available. Two in cruises steet and 2 in Childers road limerick. I'm only giving away one pair of codes as I want the other two.

First pm gets a pair of codes for one of the shops. I have to wait to see which one my mother collects though, you get the other shop.

My Childers roads one was on back order but I got my text this morning saying they are there now.

Just back from picking up my one from Dun Laoghaire - Great bargain and thanks to the OP for the heads up. I managed to use my €5 voucher I'd got from the USB 3 harddrive I'd purchased earlier in the week so only cost €26.78

GSBellew

Massive thanks to the op for this.

Had ordered one for collection, was due in on Tuesday, got a text this morning saying it was in stock for collection, picked it up there at €31.78

Why hoard so many?

Have to agree, I think a BA thread is enough, I would not like to be in a position to pick one up at my local Argos only to have to come on here and wait for an OP to be on Boards and responding to PMs, kinda creates a second layer of complexity.
In fairness I can understand the spirit of the multiple reservations but think it's just a step too far.

Libera

It wasn't intended as hoarding, that's why they are being offered! Just returning favour to other Board's members. They appear very briefly on the system as stock goes live and otherwise about 20-30 folk would now have missed out, or have to pay a potentially increased price nice week. Just trying to be nice but won't do it again so...each to his own going forward.

Same here, seemed a good idea at the time:( Won't do it again either.

Edit to add - that they appear in the system at random times for those hoping to get a code later for a particular store later on. It didn't seem to relate to closing times or anything.

Between the reservation codes coming available last night and this morning I had PM'd all the codes I'd managed to reserve (apart from one that is still available) to boards members before the shops reopened. I happened to want one myself and spent an hour pressing F5 until one finally appeared available for reservation at my local argos.

I thought what Libera started was in the spirit of this Bargain Alert. We have other members contacting other retailers trying to get price matches or better and then we also have members buying and then immediately trying to sell online for profit. I hope in the future if I'm interested in an Argos Bargain Alert and miss the window to reserve one that there is the chance that a member here has a code that they are offering to others.

Mountjoy Mugger

Having one spare is all well and good, but when users start reserving from stores all over the country, it's taking the piss.

I tried to get one in Jervis/ILAC when I became aware of the price and unfortunately all were gone. I was more than a little annoyed to see users had reserved items with NO intention of collecting.

Make all the excuses you like about saving the spots for us that missed out. In fact, you're more of a nuisance.

lesnol

I actually thoght it was a great idea and very thoughtful of those who reserved them and distributed them evenly. It was a good move to stop those who read and never contribute to the board from buying up multiples and selling on, it seemed to be done in a fair, well intentioned, fun manner to me.

Libera

You can't please everyone all of the time and one way or another, not everyone is going to get one as stock is finite. So, just look after yourself in future and everyone will be happy - lesson learned. (edited for typo)

brightkane

i will take the longford one if its still going

Berty

Got mine this morning for 31.78 and have a res code for another two in limerick. Two people sent me a pm for them but never came back to me. Shop is open till 6pm. Pm me now for code. Sorry to the other two people, I tried to contact you by pm.

Jarren

Out of stock atm

http://www.checkargos.com/StockCheckPage.php?productId=443/6632





















I changed my mind and if anyone wants to collect from Tallaght please send me pm.

If I can't reply via pm it means that this reservation number went to someone else.

Cheers

Thank you very much for providing that service - I've got the one from the Ilac centre from a code Donnacha gave me.

Unless you're a hawker why would you have a problem with this?

Because knowing human nature - frankly if the users above hadn't reserved the items when they did someone with purely selfish intentions would have reserved them all and bought them for resale.

The people above were being selfless and this helped to ensure many boardsies got a good bargain instead of them all ending up with that poster in Limerick who's trying to sell them at a 300% price inflation.

So don't stop what you did there guys - thanks for your help.

And Mugger - think about it this way - you may be pissed that you couldn't reserve one...well frankly if lindtee, donnacha or libera didn't reserve one you wouldn't have gotten one anyway as "some guy" will have reserved them before you and sold them on.

Better it gets reserved by people who want to share with others rather than people who don't.






On-topic: when I tried in the Ilac centre at the auto desk with the code Donnacha gave me the machine actually told me the reservation number wasn't recognised. I spoke to customer service who were able to bring up the reservation on their internal system but on the public till system there may have been a "no sale" put on the item. Hence I'm not sure if this is a good bargain or a misprice and Argos are trying to stop stores from selling them or if it was just a problem with their stock levels or something.

Eventually I did get it though (after waiting for 30 minutes - I popped out to have lunch!)
