I managed to blag a silver one from the Pitsea branch in Essex.
I went there saying I phoned on Sunday asking to put one aside for me, the woman brings out a silver one and goes to charge me £199, I stated to her the price should be either £85 or £99. She informs me that is actually for the purple one, I state to her that I asked her colleague to hold a purple one for me, which he hasn't...........anyway, I asked to speak to the manager, which I did and as a goodwill jesture they done it for me for £99

My word, somebody being offered a £199 product for £99 by a store manager and agreeing to it. What is this world coming too? :eek:

Rubbish. It was obtained by deception. That is my point.

Fair enough, if the person didn't actually ask for a purple one to be saved as they claim they had to get the deal. In which case, I agree with you!

However, they did ask in an earlier post if it was worth phoning up to have one reserved, so that might just have happened...

OK - I guess we're both suffering from too little information! I interpreted "managed to blag" as an admission of guilt! Had I had a purple one reserved and they produced a silver one and tried to charge double, I'd have been more than a little !!!!!! off.

Honestly I don't give two hoots that I deceived the manager in getting it for £99. Tesco makes enough profits and I'm sure it won't make too much of a dent in their pockets!!
