Stock clearance sale - worth going?

devonpie

Just got a leaflet through the door about a stock clearance sale, with loads of electrical goods at very attractive prices. Company is Dickinsons, just wondering what people's experience of these was and if it's worth my while going?

Put the leaflet down and burn it

Read the warnings board for details of this rogue company and be warned.

:eek:

Sorry, I don't know how to link to another forum..I'm sure someone will help in a mo though.

You are looking on MSE for the Warnings & Rip-Off MoneySaving Board and i have bumped the Dickinson thread to the top for you.

Well, won't be going to that then. Thanks for the advice, MSE is my first port of call for most decisions these days.
