2 in Dundrum NOW! Book yourself... :rolleyes:

If I get notification that the couple ( in Mahon & Blackpool) that I reserved on thursday for collection from tomorrow onwards come back into stock I will pass the codes on here for anyone who missed out as it is doubtful they will come available to reserve from now on.

Would like to add that I reserved the ones last night with the best of intentions as I thought the others were great for doing so, to help other boardsies out who didn't have the time nor inclination to sit press f5 and as has been said to stop them falling into the hands of profiteers. I do remember someone else getting an awful doing for doing the same last year with some other argos bargain so I should have known better! And I do know better now.

A tip for anyone who is going to be f5ing for the evening is that before they come back in stock in certain stores, it comes up as "unknown status" on checkargos and "unable to check stock now" on argos.ie.

I had been going to raise that earlier but sometimes it works and other times not, in my experience but on the whole, it does give some indication.,,may just take 5 minutes or so before it appears back in stock.

You're doing nothing wrong, they are simply out of stock! Someone might be able to give you a spare Reservation code.

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...

Or people looking for one who didn't have the opportunity to consistently follow this thread might have been able to secure one without going through a middle person (albeit well-intentioned). It adds an extra layer of complication for all involved - those reserving the stock and those looking to buy it. At the same time it was done in good spirit and it would be unfair to have a go at the posters who were trying to do a good deed.

Knowing human nature as you do, one can't possibly know that anyone asking for a code here didn't have a couple of these lined up for sale at home already. Block-reserving them doesn't in any way mean that they don't fall into the hands of people looking to sell them on for two or three times the price - it just means they have to go through someone else to do it.

Thanks for the bargain alert OP, managed to pick one up yesterday morning (at about 9.05am in the case they decided to whack the price up!)

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.

totally agree, thread notification is enough....think about it...its not right that a regular shopper will miss out on a great deal like this because of some online clique

Libera wrote: »

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.

don't try to justify it like that...it is hogging the system...you do realise that argos hold the "reserve items" until closing time the following day..so thats a full day that a "non boards.ie member" can't avail of this special offer, c'mon its not right

> I honestly think argos should suspend the check & reserve feature for these one off offers...its the only way to stop it from being exploited....it should be first come first served..simple as

Sorry to the people who thought they were doing a good deed booking up every one they could find in the country, but just to point out another angle as to why (and maybe others) am against it.....

Part of BA that I like is the satisfaction of getting the deal yourself! Most of the time I don't even need the stuff I see in threads, but it's the challenge of getting them before they're gone! Getting a second-hand code from someone else, whilst it might get me the deal, "cheats" me of the novelty factor of getting something I didn't need for cheap! Most of the time it's not the end of the world if people miss out on these deals as I didn't see tens of people in the requests for over the past weeks looking for cheap electric razors!

lindtee

Talk about flogging a dead horse. The three of us who did this have no intention of doing it again so I don't know why people keep harping on about it in typical boards.ie style. It was one day where about twenty codes maximum in total were passed on to others. A hell of a lot more stock than that was available since the outset. How many who really wanted one managed to get one last night? Plus it was not an advertised offer. If you didn't use boards.ie or someone who did then you wouldn't know about it. I'd say the profiteers got lots more shavers than we passed on codes for.

As an avid BA fan, it never bothers me how I get there. It's the getting there that's important;)

I got mine last night thanks to donnacha.
When I came back home I opened up and saw it was model AT892.
Did everyone get model PT920 as advertised in original post?

I got it (at least I think I did - can you link to the AT892 model), take it back and exchange it. I'm sure there be no issue.

Edit - Here's a link to the AT892 from Amazon and its retail is Stg 99.99 so still a bargain (though I know that's not the point) !!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-AT892-22-AquaTouch-Electric/dp/B008PPGHPY

Or €110.00 in Argos itself, good deal

I hope I did not get a bad deal. Not sure where does my AT892 model stand when compared with the PT920 model that was in offer. I opened the box and put it on straight for charging. If I had not opened it I could have taken it back. But I am surprised Argos gave me the wrong model. They took 30minutes to give this box to me and every 5mnts the girl said its coming its coming. Now when I see the box I can see they removed the Argos catalogue number sticker on the box. So I believe they gave me this on purpose.

Jarren

Bring it back if you were given the wrong product.

Unless you are happy with AT892 .

alc2013

Id appreciate if anyone hase a code for Dublin area.

Thanks guys

Royale with Cheese

I reserved one in Dundrum and it says it's available to pick up between yesterday and Wednesday. I assumed this was an estimate and they'd email me again when it's actually back in stock. Is that the case or do I need to go down to the store and check if my reservation code will work? I didn't bother giving them my phone number so I won't be getting a text from them.

AT892 looks to be more expensive model. I would say keep it

I reckon you got a good deal. AFAIK Argos have a substitution clause in their Ts&Cs and they're unlikely to substitute an inferior product. I've never used a wet and dry shaver but it sounds like the best of both worlds.
