Comet Sale Starts Tomorrow

I checked out our local store yesterday.

Outside were huge banners claiming "up to 30% off"

Inside, more banners with "everything must go"

However, there was only 10%, 15% or 20% off most big ticket (>£100) items, depending on item.
(and some of the 20% off tickets were not a true 20% off e.g. Was £299.99, now £240.01)

All vacuum cleaners were gone, and a couple of items marked 'Not for sale without express permission of DL' (Deloitte Liquidator?) - were these being reclaimed by the creditors who hadn't been paid for them in the first place?

Only 30% off items I saw were a few overpriced smoked glass TV stands and a huge cooker hood.

Small ticket items did not seem reduced except landline telephone handsets which were also reduced 20%

Disclaimer also up saying all original prices were those being used on 6 Nov, but may not have been advertised at that price for at least 28 days.

They were still offering for sale HDMI cables at up to £65.95 each :rotfl:

Interestingly, I noted that the Dixons Group Stores (Currys, PC World, etc) were displaying signs that they were not prepared to accept Comet prices for their price match policy

If you buy an item that's faulty, Deloitte doesn't explicitly say it will refuse to offer a refund or an exchange but it appears that it won't. We are seeking clarification.

The revised refund policy that was on display in my local store did end with:

"Your statutory rights are not affected"

to say its meant to be a massive clearance, "all stock must go" sale - some of the reductions are bloody rubbish!:mad:

I had a look round my local store yesterday as it was announced and I was Shocked. The Maximum discount was 20%, but that was on products that were already too high in price. It's no wonder Comet are going because clearly someone in management is Still too greedy and thinks they can still make loads of money in the down-turn we are in. They are simply in cloud cuckoo land!!
My advice, shop online via google shopping first and then if you Really Need to go into a Shop (I hate shopping personally but there you go!) chose one that has a better price. Comet are going down,...and I can now see Why they are going down. Someone in management was and still Is Far too greedy!!!

Completely pointless sale!! The Durham shop started its sale today - massive clearout so off I trundled at 9.30 this morning expecting it to be heaving.... what a wast eof time UP TO 10% off most things with the odd accessory such as laptop bags up to 20%. Lots of do not sell unless authorised stickers on them. You would get a much better deal with a normal sale and can definitely get things cheaper on line! grrrr
