Peats Liquidation Sale - this Sat/Sun

Standard Toaster

Potential bargins??

At their Parnell Street branch:
Saturday 5 October 11am-6pm
Sunday 6 October 12pm-6pm


Pity to see them go.

Kevin!

Not much of a pity at all, was always outrageously expensive compared to their UK counterpart and in general. USB cable? That'll be 20 euro please!

Thanks for the alert though op!

Trilla90

any chance of them having cheap internal hard drives for sale?

okidoki987

Is there a list of exactly what's going to be sold anywhere?

StaticNoise

I'm looking for computer RAM for my MacBook Pro. Is this something that they do?

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some at the sale.

Esel

I think it will be 'first come, first served', and Saturday would be the day to queue if you want to be sure of getting what you want (if they have it).

I saw the ad on the Metro, terrible ad.
No mention of where the sale was on.
Is that a sign of how badly it will be organised, I can see chaos.

Slunk

Saw the ad in the metro, was quite small. Hopefully wont be too busy sat morning. Looking for a 32 inch TV and some speakers.

The notice where their website use to be suggests it's at their Parnell Street Store.

You'll still be able to get everything cheaper online.

degsie

No loss tbh, always found them to be way too expensive. Sorry that jobs were lost though.

And no warranty.

It is the manufacturer or their national distributor who provide the warranty not the retailer.

But your contract is with the retailer. You may have difficulty getting the manufacturer to honour a warranty as you may not get a receipt, goods may be ex-display etc.

Anyway, even if you get 50% off Peats prices, you'll probably still find it cheaper elsewhere.

Did Peats not go into liquidation a while back but were rescued at the last minute? Used to love Peats as a child, getting my computer games there, the staff really knew their stuff back then. But it was very expensive in the last number of years.

bought a monster hdmi cable off em a couple of years ago. Payed a good few quid for it but the salesman knew his stuff and sure enough it works a treat to this day

I bought 2 hdmi cables for €2 each 4 years ago that still both work perfect.

The salesman clearly didn't know his stuff:

Doesn't say what models, specs etc.
Do they not know or just couldn't be a**ed telling us?
Would you go to a car auction if the poster just said there will be VW's, Renault, BMW's, Volvo's etc auctioned with no list of the actual models being auctioned?
I'd guess it's deliberate so that people don't know what is on offer.

Anyone want to hazard a guess how much an average enough laptop may be up for sale here on saturday?

I suppose it depends on what you're looking for, but i find Maplins ridiculously expensive. Any of the staff i encountered in Peats knew what they were talking about. I've been told in some of the English stores on more than one occasion, that the item i'm looking for doesn't exist.

First time i was in shock, third and fourth time was to prove it to a friend.

Find an item, common enough, but not well known, go into one of the stores and try it for yourself.
It probably works better if they have none in stock, then the staff member is more convinced it doesn't exist, because they don't have it.

Should I take it that because they didn't list "Apple" as on their ad that they won't have iPads?

whiteshorts

Didn't think any retailer is "allowed" sell Apple products below cost price?

I think Peats could do what they like,, its not like Apple will get them shut down or anything :P

Of course they are. Price fixing is illegal. I've often seen MacBooks on deep discount on Groupon.

Gangu

Do they sell household electrical goods, does anyone know?

ozmo

I dropped in for their last going out of business sale - and didn't notice that much off - certainly not clearout prices - more like Jan sales - didn't buy anything.

flyguy

Anyone going? Let us know if any good deals...

Cool- any indication as to the prices on anything- any posters in window or stickers visible inside?

Wait til I count me change, Bud.

Well if you don't mind, actually if you could just get me a few things, don't worry I'm good for it!;-)

Hope it was worth it dude...

Peeped into Peats yesterday evening and they had a lot of stuff marked as 30% off. There were also loads of notice on the windows about the 'terms of sale' that this is liquidation sale, no warranty from them, can't use gift cards / vouchers etc. All in all it didn't look great, but perhaps they had better deals further inside the shop. If anyone has been there this morning, please update!

whiteshorts

Opens at 11am.
How many are in the queue now?

Just passed by and there must be 400 queueing outside and around the corner into Jervis St.
It's going to be carnage.

The_Conductor

Ok- think I'll give it a miss- thanks for the warning.

_Kaiser_

11:15 - all the good stuff is probably gone by now.

Sorry to see them go. Used to get a few bits in there in the late 80s/early 90s but they were always very expensive and the rise of online shopping killed them off IMO.

GobBass

I need to know whether there are old Creative/Sony mp3 players there, might get one on the cheap. These liquidation sales do tend to throw up some stock items that have been gathering cobwebs for decades in some back room.

flyguy

Drove by around 11:30 queue still around the corner into Jervis street. Think about 200-300 people at least...

i71jskz5xu42pb

I was there about 11:30. Queue went back to at least the corner of Jervis street and they were letting people in as people came out. Guy at the head of the queue said it was about 30 minutes from the corner of Jervis street.

If I thought there was going to be good deals I'd have queued but I like my Saturdays too much to risk it.

conti

I got there at about 10.50, was inside by 11.20. The queue for the till was way worse than the queue to get in. I was in the market for the laptop hard drive but they didn't seem to have any, still did pretty well, got about €150 worth of miscellaneous stuff for 20 quid.

drunkmonkey

Did you spot any Sonos?

whiteshorts

Got in at 11.45am.
Queue went to the corner but no further, got in at 12.05pm.
Watched the people coming out, not many Peats bags (not a good sign).

I'd say a lot of the stuff went to the "early birds" (or staff ) as there were no Laptops, Hard Drives or TV's at 12pm.
Lot of stuff on the tables reduced to €1, €5 and €10 (phone covers, chargers etc), printer cartridges reduced to €5,
A lot of main stuff reduced by 30, 40 & 50% (Radios, Amps, DVD players etc) but the staff were giving an extra discount if you were buying a load of stuff.
Lot of people in a long queue waiting to pay when I was leaving.
Doubt if there will much left for Sunday.
Staff were brilliant with so many people asking questions.

Overheard security saying a girl had her phone swiped! :mad:

Only what was on the wall. One play 3 and one play 5 and a connect. No use, only down by 20%.

I only picked up miscellaneous bits and pieces.

ozmo

Passed by- no q so went in- Nothing worth going in for- overpriced stuff at 30% off. Total chaos with no clear pricing.
