Hiya folks,

Just wanted to say thanks to the OP who said they returned their xbox and purchased it again.

I've just done this today at Boots in Dundee (main one in the High Street). I originally purchased it on the 23rd August.

I told the sales assistant at the photo counter exactly what I wanted to do and why. Ok I didn't say I knew they were only £10 now but did say I had heard they had been reduced again. She was brilliant and did it no problems, laughing as she did so for me. My box was unopened or rather all was still sealed apart from the origninal outer brown box, but she didn't even check this so the folks who have still got one at £75 and have opened it, it might be worth chancing your luck if you still have the outer box.

If anyone lives near me and needs the outer box to do this i'd quite happily meet them and supply it.

A great bargain which originally cost me the equivalent of 52p to start with. £70 of pigsback vouchers, paid £5 cash but got £4.48 back in boots points oh and a £5 skin care voucher which makes me £4.48 in profit when i think about it at the original purchase.

Thanks to all for this.

why don't I live in Dundee

So are these prices displayed, or only when they get scanned in at the sales counter??

... so you dont actually know if you're gonna get a bargain or not?
Is that right????

Please clarify. Many thanks!

The prices aren't displayed because the staff don't know what's been reduced and what hasn't! You ask the assistant to scan the item before buying it, thus making sure it has been reduced.

But you can't keep taking expensive items to the counter and ask them to scan the prices. They'll get pi**ed off with you pretty quickly, lol.

A few weeks ago I was looking for iPod accessories and noticed the above at the bottom of a glass cabinet that contained the new iPod range. Anyway, it was only the other day that I realised it might possibly be reduced, so I asked the OH if she could call into the store after work.

Low and behold it was still there, but wouldn't scan and SA was quoting the original shelf price of £249.99 (which couldn't be right as it is a discontinued model). OH got the SA to call Customer Services, but they said it was down to the store managers discretion as to whether it was reduced. OH then asked, whilst CS were still on the phone, as to why the item could not be scanned through the till. CS gave the SA the correct code and............what do you know £10.00. Apparrently the SA's face was like thunder !!!

Morale of the story - KEEP LOOKING, THERE ARE STILL BARGAINS HIDING OUT THERE !!!!

Good Luck !

More importantly, which store was it!!

I'm getting desperate!! Dear bf suffered a breakage of his just out of warranty, and there's just no point in getting in repaired!

How can i find which stores sell electrics and which don't? Any tips?

I'm willing to share any booty I find!!! lol!!

Look on the Boots website here http://www.boots.com/storelocator/store_search.jsp?tabParamValue=notShop&openDirectory=3&wblinktype=HPD&wblinkdetail=D3P3K5 and look for stores with the most services. These are most likely to stock electronics as they will be the bigger stores.
