Thanks for the info, was gutted when I couldn't find the Garmin i3 anywhere for £99 but just phoned up my local Staples and they have it for £119, said they will price match but I have to provide them with the number for somewhere which has it in stock at £99, is there any way round that? I know a few managed it, if not, I'm happy paying £119

Try a shotgun approach ..... give them 3 somerfield numbers and tell them they all have it when you checked yesterday. Perhaps they'll get bored checking (seeing as nobody answers the freaking phone for ages at any store) and give you the discount. It's only £20 off unlike Halfords who would be a little shocked as their price is £199.99.

Thanks a lot for the advice greyster I will write a list up of a few Somerfields and see what they do

i just read another thread .... if you can't get it at 99.99 i would definitely pay £119.99. There is always a chance its a promotional period and the price could go up again. Everywhere else (Link, Argos, Ebay, Halfords) are selling them £160+.

Well i phoned up somerfield headquarters in bristol this morning and they said they have sold all of the garmin units. So i bit the bullet and got mine from staples in Swansea £119.99 they have a few of them there the one i got was the v8. Used it on the way home worked a treat i have just updated the software on it from ver 2.5 to ver 2.7. Im well impressed with it so far.

I'm off down to staples in a minute, it seems Somerfield have been sold out for a while now so I don't think that one will work, but I'm more than happy to pay £119 thats still a great price :T

The reason I said it was because it worked for me read the previous page. I'm aware they are not at somerfield anymore.

Perhaps I was lucky. But for £20 more you can't go wrong.

Went to local Staples (Great Yarmouth), told them Somerfield in Tonypandy, Wales was selling them @ £99.
He phoned, confirmed this then gave me another 10% off

He charged me £97!?

I'd bought it for a friend at work who was well chuffed and gave me the £120 even though I told him of what I'd saved for him

I like these stories Nice one!

i asked about the price match and staples told me that the store they were going to match had to be within 5 miles and the item in stock. Im happy getting one for £119 any way as some on flea bay are going for silly money
