    Did you not read that it will definitely not be honored?

    If anyone has a hard drive code for Swords, Santry, Blanch or Ashbourne I'd appreciate it thanks

    Would love a code for the MacBook Pro for any Dublin store, Drogheda, Dundalk, Athlone, Galway, Carlow or Monaghan. Realise it's a long shot but if you don't ask....

    Oh and Ashbourne too!

    Next in line for a spare code if anyone has one please for the MacBook!:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 17 invalidkey


    If anybody wants a code for the macbook help yourselves like so

    Get the item number
    Get store number you wish to collect on website
    Call the Phone ordering service
    Place order - get your own code.
    Best do so today - 1 hour left.

    Good Luck!!!

    Oh thanks, I don't think any of the hundreds of people looking for one knew how to do that or tried it.

    Is there really any point in even doing this? As the Argos UK price is £800+ this is obviously a mistake and will be rectified before any new stock comes in. The phone (from memory0 states that the price at which you can purchase is the price on the day you collect, not the price you placed the reservation at?

    Pointless exercise. If the item is not in stock you will not be able to place an order until the next time stock is in by which time the error will be corrected.

    This has become a train wreck of a thread. People begging for a code no one will give them and people who own codes can't use them anyway as argos have communicated to all stores not to sell at the misprice.

    Any code for the seagate 500gb drive for Carlow or Kilkenny would be appreciated.


  • Registered Users Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Moyglish


    Might as well throw my name into the hat for a code for a Mac book reservation in Galway if anyone has one and for whatever reason decides they don't want it anymore, I'd love to take a gamble on it! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Website states the price for the Mac Book is valid until July, look at the item page itself and you will see it in the window under the item where the item was on sale for info is stated, wonder is this a binding written contract type case, actual wording posted below.

    Additional Information

    This item is excluded from the 30 day money back guarantee. See the Additional Information panel for full details. Please note that this product is excluded from our 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. This does not affect your statutory rights.

    Current selling price valid until 17/07/2015


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 775 ✭✭✭Musefan


    I would really appreciate a code for naas :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,750 ✭✭✭degsie


    Mods, shouldn't this thread be moved to the 'requests' forum?

    There's no point. I had a code but they refused to sell the macbook at the erroneous price in Galway. They did let me have the denver chest though so i was happy enough with one bargain

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭Benzino


    No harm in trying! If there are any going for Navan, would happily take it :)

    For the MacBook I mean.


  • Registered Users Posts: 261 ✭✭TheInspector


    Yep I'm the same I'll try in a any shop in Dublin so anyone not willing that has a reservation code in Dublin I'll try it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭lenoude


    The macbooks wont be honoured , they were sold in 2 stores at least before head office realised. Whoever had the codes went to the kiosk so they got them no problem.

    And yes I know this for a fact :P Unreal bargain for those who got them.

    I'll take any reservation codes not in use lads. Worth a punt anyway.

    Anyone have a MacBook code


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,188 ✭✭✭DoYouEvenLift


    Appears the MBA 13" isn't even on the site anymore, probably temporarily


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 32,285 Mod ✭✭✭✭The_Conductor

    Its still there- they have just changed to product code- to disassociate it from the misprice mess.

    That's a different one afaik? The mispriced one for €110 was the MB air 13" version which was supposed to be €1,100, looked like this one

    Well done to the 3 flukey people who managed to get them before Argos closed ranks, and the misprice. Lets move on though- pages and pages of people pleading isn't going to achieve anything other than annoyance for all concerned. As its down off the system altogether- even if people have a reservation- the computers won't allow it be fulfilled. Its time to move on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,068 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    People only want codes for the MacBook so they can buy it and put it up on eBay for a big fat profit. Why they think anyone would give them a code when they would probably be doing the same thing is just fcuking sad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,750 ✭✭✭degsie


    It's gone, it's over! Let it lie lads, let it lie...

    I would have loved to get one of the macbooks to use for college. I do agree if someone can make a profit off one thats fine but they are going to be greedy and ask for alot of money for one. I think i have seen one on adverts.ie already asking for 900 for a macbook bought yesterday.

    There's a fairly cheap dell laptop floating about BA that'd be ideal for uni.
