    What is your 7350 like, any good?

    What do the cartridges cost you usually? In the 7450 box is a C6658A photo one and a C6657A tricolour one (Both 17ml)

    Thanks and good luck with your Argos promise

    The 7350 is much the same as the 7450, performance-wise. Last year or year before's model - they were a bit more pricey as well - £99 was half price IIRC.

    Does excellent prints at A4 from my 5.2MP Vivitar camera.

    Beware the Vivitar cameras however, for they eat batteries (eg DuracellPlus = 10 photos!!). Needs 2100mAH NiMH or bust basically! By the way, Vivitar and Practika cameras are identical.

    Usually pay £20-£25 for 56/57/58 cartridges. All cartridges for this printer are 17/19ml (19ml is black).

    Has anyone considered that the reason these are showing as SOLD when you go to collect them is that unscrupulous people have nabbed them already - and I'm not talking about the store staff.
    At a time when we all know this is a great offer, and that people have reserved these, what's to stop you just going to Argos and keying in a whole set of reservation numbers until you get the one you want?
    For instance, these appear to be issued sequentially, so as soon as you find something is out of stock just reserve something else, then go to the store and work backwards from your reservation number until you find one which is for what you actually want.
    I'm sure this must have happened with some people - I can't believe it's just because Argos' computer got overloaded.

    How do you work backwards in stores which don't have a fastpay terminal, like Carlisle for instance?

    They'd smell a rat if you started guessing reservation numbers!

    In any case, they showed me the stock terminal which showed my reservation at the time I made it and that they sold the last one they had in stock onFriday morning.

  • Lots on eBay now! lol!!!! :o ;D :o ;D :o

    But you're not going to pick the both of them up for £99 though! :-(
  • You can still reserve these online at 99.99 for store pick up. It may be worth reserving one and then paying via the machine, the price may come up at 99.99.
    Stay lucky!
