About this user: I like having a region-free DVD player, the ability to "back-up" my DVD`s and generally drink beer if I choose to.

I enjoy helping people solve problems, and building on my knowledge in general.

RE: cheap items at daxon

RE: WOW HOT ITEM --HURRY . Free Fan Heater .....Free Fan Heater..... Free Fan Heater..

RE: Free U2 collectors edition wallet

RE: Bush Digital Tv for 49p

I was willing to gamble a fiver against a TV, I may go for 15 as they didn`t honour their t&c`s by not notifying me.

I don`t need the telly, but it would be a slight improivement on what I have .. maybe. I waste way more than 15 quid on the lottery in a month and thats an equally pointless gamble.

RE: Digital Satellite Dish & Receiver Set - £59.99 at Lidl from Thurs.

ebay could be your friend for fun card. .....happened across them last week.

RE: Bush Digital Tv for 49p

thought this thread was about 49p TV`s, not pots and kettles, black ones.

RE: Bush Digital Tv for 49p

takuhii, I firmly believe I`m entitled to 2 things here:

1) my money back
2) a cancellation notice.

At the moment I see neither, I was wondering if I`m alone.
Looks like you don`t read too good :)

It would be nice to get a telly for 49p, but I for one have *never* believed I`d get one. Wildest dream, maybe. Reality = Mr Satan going to work on ice skates.

RE: Bush Digital TV for 49p

I still haven`t had a notification that my order has been cancelled.

Am I alone or anyone else not been informed. (Cash has been taken).

RE: Bush Digital TV for 49p

for a business the size of argos/homebase/etc group, 3mil aint huge.

Personally I`d like to see 2 points from this.

1) honour the deal ;D (I can dream can`t I)
2) change the cash grabbing.

If said solicitors takes this on and wins, they`ll get costs awarded anyway and it would be a great piece of publicity for them. I`d say they`ll tyhink very very carefully and take this only if they are really sure of a winner.

Raise a hand for the small guy.

RE: Cheap DVDs http://www.dvd-gold.co.uk

¦I`m with PeteMc on that, no address = no business.

RE: Bush Digital TV for 49p

Tak Gman spotted my error first, its close but no banana :)

as for how much you can make from 49p`s .. its £5.44`s (x 10,000* = £54,400 )... more significant.

PS - still no cancellation email .
*see below.

RE: Bush Digital TV for 49p

Oddly the same tv + free dvd player seems to have reappeared on the homebase site .... for £100 less than argos.

here

is £250 still a bargain ?

PS, cash requested from my credit card ....

RE: Bush Digital TV for 49p

They have it pretty watertight, they dont take any cash until they despatch, and they wont despath it if it looks like an error.

On the off chance the offspring of the village idiot and the local moose is working on the day they sort my order, I requested one.

RE: Bush Digital TV for 49p

missed the argos offer, but ordered from homebase as usual.

Just awaiting the incoming "dear john"....

RE: Another Great service from EBuyer.com

11 Harrowhouse and The Big Job.

Hi All, I`ve been trying to track these 2 films down for ages, and wondered if anyone here may have any suggestions about where to try next ?

Any and every possible suggestion will be followed up (even if I`ve been there before).

Thanks.

Karv

11 harrowhouse and The Big Job (1965) - this was once a double VHS with Watch your Stern.

RE: "Carry On Camping" Free DVD

Knowing my luck we`ll get "Which Combine Harvester" :(

Guess where I live....

RE: Which MP Player?

and the gmini 400, about £50 cheaper than rrp on my link.

RE: Which MP3 Player?

I`m gonna throw in on the Archos corner, had an old 6gig HDD recorder for years, its never let me down.

I`ve upgraded the HDD twice, now its 60gig :D.

rockbox.org do replacement firmware for most decent mp3 players, but I`m against prting with so much cash for iPODs when theres so many better things about.

My next jukebox will again be Archos, but this time a Gmini400 *media* jukebox (189 earth pounds Here).


www.archos.com/products/prw_500637.html

P.S from experience Archos support (albeit hard to understand on the phone) were extremely good, fast and very helpful after I dropped mine. (they fixed it free and sent a car kit to boot!).

RE: Cheap Items at New Store

Being a Maplins store, if correct this info is actually a goldmine and will in now way benefit the poster (unless he actually owns Maplins, and selling loads off at cost price doesnt actually make a profit anyway).

This could be a Gift Horse, perhaps leave the dental treatment a while?
