Not much good if you don't own any already. Another firm doing their usual Sale but cashing in on the word scrappage.
Really .... is it SO quiet in MSE Towers that you have to invent "news"?0 -
If Comet were serious about this they would make this a permanent arrangement all year round not just for a couple of days. Your right PasturesNew, its just a weekend sale!!!0

Good scheme if you are looking for a new appliance.Just my luck, had to buy a new cooker last week!
I know this sounds envionmentally good but surely chucking the old appliance in landfill is not?0 -
We are thinking about an undercounter freezer, 4 on the comet website for the scrappage scheme. Starting from £379 - £549.
eeerrrmmmm maybe not. I'd rather buy 2 Beko ones from tesco direct over the period thanksI beep for Robins - Beep Beep
& Choo Choo for trains!!0 -
Purchased an electric cooker last weekend. Comet wanted £15 to remove my old cooker. What happened in a week?
Anyway, found the one we liked at Comet, purchased it elsewhere online afterwards and saved more than 20% anyway.Pants0 -
Got all excited then as comet is the cheapest place for the fridgefreezer we want and an extra 20% off would be great, shame it only applies to bosch, siemens and neff :mad:0

If you are buying a new appliance it would make sense to trade or exchange your current (better?) appliance with someone who needs a more energy efficient one and provide the even older and less energy efficient model for exchange.0

This sounds dodgy. As I understand it retailers are obliged to take back WEEE free of charge.

Ah well they lost a sale.0 -
If they were serious about the environmental issue they would do it permanently, or at least for a good few months, time limiting it to Monday is a shameless (shameful?) cash-in by Comet, which really shouldn't surprise anyone considering the quality of the organisation.
God, I'm feeling particularly ascerbic today...0
