    Stock sells out if its popular, maybe you should be quicker next time.

    You will have to keep your eyes peeled to see if they come back as soon as the offer has ended.

    Yes i did misread the OP, but high beds were in stock as i looked the other day they are the same offers as the low.mids and there is plenty of those awailable, if it was a con they surely they would pull all the beds offline and put as out of stock ?

    i dont think the argos stock control systems are very good

    number of years ago, id gone into a store, & did a stock check on an item.
    it said that it was out of stock, but that some were due for delivery on the saturday
    it just so happened that the date it gave was the saturday before i went into the store!

    Its clever. They have a few beds half price across the country. They sell out. People decide to get a half price bed. Can't find it. Buy a full price one instead. They are very cleverly tapping into the mindset that everyone wants a bargain.

    Used by all sorts of people. Tried to book a holiday with Virgin, they had "sold out" - but could offer me the same flights on the same days at £400 more - each ! Went with Continental - Virgin's loss, not mine.

    The clue is in the words 'check stock in your area' then asks for your postcode. :)
    They are delivered by their home delivery service where they are in stock by there thousands all over the UK.
