"MISSING" Post(s)

Hiya,

I saw a posting on here last night about a cheap(ish)dishwasher B&Q are selling....I can't find it now (doesn't show up in the search either).....whassgoinon? :confused:

Had a similar occurence last week...tried to find a post made back in January about an ice cream maker...tried a search a couple of days nothing showing up?

Can someone please advise what's going on here?

Where do these "missing in action" posts end up (I tried the "It's Gone board"

    Thanks...it begs the next question why was it moved? And how does the "shop don't drop" board differ from this board?

    Well, it's not particularly a bargain as it's only 25% off and the layout is still £150. Plus it's just B&Q selling off their own stock.

    The Quick grabbit bargains tend to be ones that a very cheap with a large discount and require immediate action to purchase (or are only avail for a very short time only).

    Finally, these posts have been moved because the moderators deem them more suitable elsewhere.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    I'll move this thread over to Shop but don't drop as it's not a grabbit bargain thread.

    As smartie1976 says the Quick! Grabbit board is designed for those very short term mega bargains that need acting on immediately, every other type of offer should be posted on the Shop but don't drop board.

    Thanks :)

    Ok...thanks for the explanation. In defence of the original poster's intentions, the offer does need to be acted upon quick because....

    1. It's a discontinued item (& therefore limited availability)
    2. A further 15% can be obtained instore but only until April 2nd.

    Not the biggest bargain ever but a reasonable amount off in comparison to other outlets (£40->£80 cheaper) & probably the cheapest new dishwasher available at the moment.

    It'd have be handy if the original thread's subject could have hung around a while to show that'd been moved though (& where to!)....or did I miss that?

    Thanks once again.
    Rob.
