    All he has done is remove that listing and put up his prices saving on ebay fees by adding it to the P and P charge against ebay policy

    The ebay community do not take kindly to excessive P+P anymore.....his listing won't last long I'm sure

    Has anyone had any trouble in goods being delivered on time from Woolworths? Have just checked my local Woolies and I can get Elmo to pick up from Tuesday 17th, each one priced £31.49 - Quidco. But I could also pick up from Argos today actually in stock but would have to pay £34.99, really not sure whether to wait for the cheaper option but then don't want to have nothing if Woolworths are unable to commit. Advice needed.
    All my savings are going on the family holiday!

    Off to Majorca again this year ;-)

    It wasn't released in time to get on that list...plus there won't be any stock of it to sell.

    Mmmmmmmmmm seemed to have opened a can of worms here with my comments;) , I have nothing against people ordering 2 or 3 to cover their costs of the 1 they really wanted for DD or DS. I strongly object to people making gross amounts of money by buying 10 or 20 plus with the simple intention of catching people unaware, that is just pure greed, and you come on here and boast about it:rotfl: . "But I need to buy 20 and sell them to pay off my debts" that type of thinking put you in debt in the first place:rolleyes: .

    You are simply gambling and praying that everywhere runs out and those who were not as savvy as you and who need 1 or 2 pay your silly prices to get them.

    Very proud MSE'ers you are;)

    On a lighter note I am sitting pi$$ing my self now watching my elmo rolling around the floor giggling, my son will love this come christmas;)

    Oh and anyone who still NEEDS 1 there seems to be plenty in Argos in Northern Ireland, just got mine and reserved 2 more for friends to pick up for their kids:o
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    I will have 10 by argos closing time tonight, so to be honest with ya, i dont care about all the kids at the moment. Remember number 1 in this world. the parents wont help me make more money so i have to take it upon my own hands, and if this means making a profit on these then so be it.

    I have never had a problem with Woolworths myself when I get the goods delivered to to store. Won't Argos hold it until COP tomorrow, give yourself a bit of thinking time?
