128Mb Philips Key 005 MP3 Player only £5.86 if you collect.

'Deal for Today' @ SCAN

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/productinfo.asp?WebProductID=391254

only £5.86 - delivery a bit steep so only worth it if you are buying other stuff or if you live close enough to Harwich/Bolton so you can collect it.

Note - does show at full price - but will go into your basket at £5.86

Update - Turns out they are refurbs, I went to pick mine up and it was pretty obvious, guy disappears round the back comes back and swears they are new but 'pallet damaged'. However while I'm waiting for my refund to be processed - I look at the description again on one of their 'Order Pods' and It has miraculously changed to include *Refurbished*. To add insult to injury - 2 to 3 days for the refund to my card. Not happy.
All the World is a Stage; and I'm going through a difficult one at the moment!

    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.

    I bought a few of these to make up for the high postage costs and when they arrived this morning you should have seen the state of them, just thrown in the box, some hanging out and boxes battered.
    I checked and double checked before I bought these to see if they where refurbs and it didnt say they where but on checking again it now says refurbs.

    I know from past experiences i will have problems with scan in getting a refund as I bought something else with the mp3's and they will charge me full wack on delivery.
    bunch of :mad:

    well after testing all mine i found one not to be working, one had a part missing and one had ear wax all over the headphones plus all the boxes are totally battered and some players marked. Not a very good buy.
    Thats twice I have bought off scan and twice stung by them. Never again, let this be a lesson to me and to those who are thinking of buying off them
