Cheap items at PC World for 1p (via Collect@Store)!

Is it an optical mouse?0

I managed to order the last one available in the High Wycombe store. Dashed round after work expecting either (a) to find none left or (b) staff refusing to sell it at that price.
The reality was that the guy at the Collect In Store desk had it ready in a trolley for me to collect - said all the rest had been reserved but to call back at the end of the week in case they had not been collected (yeah, right, lol).
I took it to the till and the staff were totally unfazed by the whole deal. They said it was something that had come with a game and these were leftovers.
Nice little gadget to use with the laptop - many thanks to the OP for sharing that info!

Yes it's optical. I got the last one from Thurrock PC World!
So many thanks for this good spot. Feel strange to hand over 1p (haven't done that since I was a kid!) And am using the mouse to send this message!0 -

I reserved 3 in the Staples Corner store. I decided to call the 0845 number as listed on the PC World website when you go through the store finder function beforehand after reading an earlier post which said "they might not have it in stock."
Stupid woman on the end of the phone said if you've got a reservation code then they'll have it in stock for you.
So i go in and there aren't any: I quote "someone seems to have taken them" the assistant said. I asked if he'd come across anyone trying to get the mouse today and he said no.
I wonder why I bother with the bloody company0 -

:T Got mine from Croydon (the last one in stock) .... a bargin mouse for 1p
Thanks to the origional Poster !0 -
picked up my 3 today.
however, i have a friend who went to the very unhelpful Bolton store who said that because they are a promo item, they are only available at 1p when bought in conjunction with something else. cowpat, i say.
anyway, he has the terms and conditions in hand (which state that he is within his rights to get them for a penny), and will confront the manager tomorrow!Monthly Food Budget: out of the window0 -
Went to the Bangor store after reserving three. The bloke had to go and check what he was looking for as he had no idea what it was (or so he said). After keeping me waiting for about 10 minutes he came back with all three of them, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone "that's three pence please". I was so tempted to pay with a £20 note, but since the price of £14.99 was still stuck on the front of each of them, I gave him my loose change and left.
On the way out, I noticed a 5p on the floor, so I've been paid 2p to have 3 computer mouses! (or mice, depending on what you prefer!)0
