    Yeah, I'm a bit confused myself :confused:
  • OP I do not understand why you call this a rip off. A rip off is when you are promised some goods or a service, and they fail to deliver. This is an advert and clearly shows the price, with reduction. It is up to the consumer as to wether or not the conclude a sale.

    What Freddie said.
    I'm not a big fan of Argos myself. I find that simply not shopping there (though a friend did find a good bargain for something I wanted there a few months ago) and getting on with my life deals with that quite well. Perhaps you could give my method a go and see how that works for you momo1975?

    I'd say that all this is due to Argos having a computer system that's not right for the job , so it's reporting VAT cuts as price cuts.
    Get someone in the I.T. department at Argos to post on the techie's forum & they'd probably fix it before the day's out.
