    Not a hope argos will sell an xbox for 50 euro, whatever about the tv been mispriced but a washing machine, games console and tv all at wrong prices and all honoured does not sound right at all.

    Was a bargain. Store manager was sound and said he had to give it too her. They've had loads of mistakes all week he said. They had problems with Xbox one aswell he said one store had to sell it for 50 euro. And a washing machine for 130 euro. He said if you ever get a bargain like that go in first thing when store opens because the mistake won't have been spotted until stores are open a while and they'll honour it.

    Did ye do a celebratory doughnut in the car park after she got it? ;)

    Does anyone remember how long ago, was it that when a Samsung 46" was 1/2 price form €1051 -> €529, afaik was bargain alert of the year?

    I got one of those then, but jeez people were getting nervous when it wouldn't go thru when ordering it when you rang up CustService & thought we've been rumbled, but it turned out that it was the PRF fee that was causing the hiccup.

    Still going strong to this day, but what is the shelf life of tv's these days.

    Nescafe Dulco Gusto reduced from €119.99 to €36.99

    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2391157/Trail/searchtext%3ETASSIMO.htm

    Not sure how good they are as I'm not a coffee drinker but seems a pretty good deal.

    Lots of stock about too.

    Regularly available at around the 50 quid mark.
    Good deal- but not nearly as remarkable as they are suggesting.

    Working fine now. Wasn't even getting the landing page last night- it was throwing up the 'Bad Landing Page' and refusing to load even the homepage. Also had some Ubuntu gobbledegook- whatever it was- seems to have resolved itself........

    I bought something in Argos NI at the weekend which I want to bring back in Dublin, I'd asked and was told this would not be a problem.

    Just wondering if I can get a refund and if so how would they price it? I would make a nice profit if they refunded it for the current Euro price!

    I am pretty sure they wont refund in a different currency but an exchange/store credit might be offered.

    Yes you can return it but the item has to be for sale in Ireland. They sell a lot more items in uk so some things aren't available here. What they do is give you a refund with an exchange rate on their tills so you won't get the price they are selling it at here, it's whatever the exchange rate is.:)

    Query re this phone - Sim Free Alcatel 2008G.

    Looking to buy for my mother-in-law who is simply looking for a big screen/big buttons phone.

    The description includes: "This handset is not compatible with the three mobile network."

    Question:
    Will this phone work on the O2 network, or even Tesco mobile?

    O2/Tesco are all routing through three now so I wouldn't chance it.

    Trying to register my details with argos uk and keeps telling me evening phone no needs to be between 10 and 20 numerical characters.

    Been trying both my number and parcel motels number but neither works

    How do I get around this..?

    Edit: Got it sorted, needed uk mobile number...

    Wait till you have family or friends in County Galway, Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon etc- you'll very quickly change that opinion.

    I do. Why would it be an issue for me calling or receiving from them in that area if I'm with Tesco mobile?

    Coverage is diabolical over significant areas of the West/NorthWest- masts are located according to population density, rather than geographic coverage- anytime I'm at home I have to go up a local hill to try and connect with the mast in Tubercurry and I regularly get 20-30 missed calls all popping up together in around the outskirts of Carrick-on-Shannon........ Its almost like the twilight zone. I get similar in Inverin and other parts of Galway, along the coast road out of Ballina- and several other areas. I can use a Vodafone phone in some areas- but my handsfree in the car will only connect to one handset at a time- which negates having two separate phones ready for use........

    Yeah, it can be brutal around the midlands, but I've found that with all providers. In the local pub there's one part where you can just about get a signal, no matter what provider, so when you walk in you'll see a line of phones stacked against one particular window. O2, now Three, can just drop away completely in the village at seemingly random times, for random periods. So while Three/Tesco aren't the greatest, they're not alone. Obviously it's different in different towns and villages, locals just switch providers as a process of elimination to try figure out who they can get some sort of stability with. I know someone in the east who has to use a broadband dongle, and they have to leave it in one of those postboxes outside of the house in order to get data.
