    Probably worth checking for a day or two each morning at shops in your area. I managed to find one this morning at Teesside and there was also one in York. Presumably people have reserved them and never gone to collect so they come back in stock that way. The Teesside Dyson was the only one available because when I went back in after reserving one it reported as Out of Stock again.

    Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair to make Spare Reservations”? I agree that if you need it, yes make a reservation, but making spare reservations mean that someone else is loosing out on buying it.

    I know that I may end up getting some flak for this, but saving money shouldn’t mean that we deprive a person of getting a bargain.
    My reality check bounced.

    Not really unfair no. It came in stock in Watford so I reserved it. It then came in stock in Hayes which is where I work and was more convenient so I have now bought it from there. If someone on this site wants the one in Watford then PM me, if not then it goes back to everybody tomorrow.

    Don't see the issue myself

    I don't think it's unfair at all

    I don't think it's unfair either. It goes back into the pool at the end if it's not picked up and someone else gets it.

    In fact, I think it's very considerate of people to pass on their unwanted reservation numbers to other people.

    I've just travelled across London, from Sutton in Surrey to Wembley to get mine, thanks to Dodsy's reservation. (It was a !!!!!! carrying the box to and from the train and tube, I can tell you!)

    I'm sure I wouldn't have succeeded in getting one otherwise.

    Cheers, Dodsy!

    Thanks also to Maltezer, whose number I was going to use when I thought Dodsy's Wembley one had already gone to someone else.

    (Maltezer's number may still be available, I don't know if it's been sent to someone else yet. It might be worth sending a PM and asking.)
