Its a very basic, entry level distance meter but for that money you cant go wrong. For anyone who just wants a precise measurement without all the bells and whistles then I'd think this is ideal. Reputable brand name and Id recommend this to anyone who is into DIY.

Good spot btw

Pity that would have been a nice one!

Don't feel too bad about the 128Gb, speed turned out to be only 30Gb/s. So old stock really, only ok for the money. Grand for storage but not great for day to day use.

1TB WD Elements USB 3.0 hard-drive

Its 73.99 on the website- but its being charged at 49.99 at the tills.

This includes a free copy of McAfee (allegedly worth 36.99 in its own right).

are you serious

Is this any use?

Do Argos understate their stock levels, or lie in other words?

It just hit me there, anytime I'm checking stock levels in Cork, there always seems to be only quantities between 1 to 5 in stock.

The advantage of doing this if it is true, is that customers will rush in to buy it because the stock levels look low.

5 is their max i think. 5 could be 50.

Yawns

None, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 5+ is what they show.

I do regularly see 5+ on any items I look for. If it's a bargain price, then it's natural to see fewer as people reserve. Whether they buy is another situation.

Doge

Ah cool, i don't think I've seen 5+ before! Must keep a look out.

Sherfin

5+ on the main Argos site will show as 5 in Checkargos I think

As said, looks like 5 is the max stated on the website.
It's probably as much commercially sensitive as it is marketing strategy.
One sale item showed 5+. As there was a dozen on the shelf I wondered aloud how soon they might sell out, was told they had a delivery of 300, so.......a while.

Is the 1TB Western digital personal Elements hard-drive any use?
Its a small profile USB 3.0 hard-drive- aka its even smaller than the normal 2.5" drive. After that- you have to go do your own research. Having checked stock this morning- plenty of people appear to like them- almost all of those available yesterday afternoon are gone (I do see a few around Dublin- 2 in Stephen's Green, 1 in the Irish Life Mall, 1 in Dunlaoghaire- none in Liffey Valley/Blanch/tallaght/Ashborne/Naas etc.

You decide- its your call- however, at 49.99 its no surprise its gone in most locations...........

No. USB 3.0 socket is soldered directly to the HDD.

I've heard before, if you order more than 5, it may show if there's actually any left?

No tv bracket in any Irish bricks and mortar store has ever been a bargain http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00N50Q66Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?qid=1448889138&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=tv+bracket

Have you got one of these? looking for one for a 43 inch samsung

No I haven't but I've ordered one today to hang a 48 inch Samsung, it says upto 56 inch so I can't see it being an issue if it's secured to the wall properly.

I have a cheetah one that I ordered from Amazon for €11 and I have an old 42 inch JVC led hanging from it and it's solid as a rock and that tv weighs a ton.

Couple of family members have the Vonhaus brackets, they're the job. Exact same thing as the €50+ ones in shops here.
