Glitch on wii games

13

Comments

  • Well I tried getting my 2p game, but my boss wasn't having any of it! Thought as much though.
    Unfortunately, they are right, and Argos (or any other store) are not obliged to sell the item

    Yes, this is correct. If they feel the glitch is being 'abused' then they don't have to sell the item at that price. It does state on the website on on any reservation printout that prices may vary and the price you pay is the price in store when you collect. It's down to each individual store manager to decide if they want to sell at the reduced price.
    My manager will let us overide reserved prices as long as it isn't a ridiculas price like mine was!

    Thanks OP! I was able to get cooking mama and Carnival Golf for less than £20!

    It did come up on the till at full price then showed them my print off, cashier went away to speak to a manager type person and said that their website was being slow (tell me about it LOL) so they'll just let me have it at those prices!! Result!

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for this OP got ratatouille and sonic riders today for £20 :beer:

    I had to take my print out in - at the pay station it was coming up at nearly £30 but the SA honoured the deal :D

    At this rate I will have all the birthdays sorted out by the end of January!!
