    Woop, went in and got the george foreman one :D
  • Its not that these numbers have been re-used, its what we in the Argos world call intergrations (I work for them) - when Argos decide to stop selling an item they just give any remaining stock a catalogue number from something similar. This tends happen a lot just after a new catalogue launch, but also throughout the rest of the year.
    Theres also some Magicbox phones floating around that have been intergrated to Argos value phones, cat no 552/4660 ( I think!). orginally they sold for about £80, you can now get them for £17.99 :-)

    and in theory these bargains should be in every Argos store
    :j


    Our house phone is dreadful, though I've been meaning to get a new set for ages, I haven't got round to it. This posting was just the push I needed - I reserved and picked one up at our local store. One the way home I popped in to see family and proudly showed off my new purchase - and was sent home to reserve two more for them too!!

    They're all installed now and seem to be working just fine. Thanks for this OP and supermole.
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!

    Reserved the phone last night, and picked it up from the Beeston branch at lunchtime, had the choice of three diferent phones, the 2-phone Binatone (the one that is actually sold under that cat code), a 3-phone Binatone kit, and the 3-phone Magicbox set..... so I chose the Magicbox set, thanks Supermole :D

    I've got the grille on reserve to, going to pick it up after work (thought it would be cheeky getting both at the same time!!!!)
  • I tried the grill today but got a Cookworks one, taking it back later as H has rebelled!
  • Deal worked in my Haverhill store yesterday!
    Great Post
    Thanks :)
  • Anyone picked one up from a Leeds argos at all? If so whcih one did you get?
