Are there any special offers on where I can get something for nothing and along the way make some money too? You guys seem to know Tesco inside out....what about creating a forum dedicated to ripping off Tesco for us newbies.

You veterans keep this particular thread and the other mispriced Tesco threads looping over and over. Perhaps if there was a start up thread for newbies and then a dedicated forum / threads for Tesco scams, it would be helpful.

Its not fair that we newbies have to check the threads to gather info...only for veterans to crack 'in' jokes about beef and gravy or Mr leahy chairman of tesco etc.... its boring for the rest of us and we havent got days to bring us up to speed. Hence the dedicated thread for newbies to scam Tesco.

BTW.... Please dont respond with 'Tesco scammed us first or Its not a scam. Dont want to read about consumers playing victims. Consumerism is a choice. Hence victimless unless you make the decision to become one.

If anybody feels inclined to answer these posts, perhaps they could do so here:

I can tell how much understanding you have of the Law by the crap you're posting on this thread. I don't need to "know" you. Your posts tell me all I need to know. You didn't even understand what the OP was talking about.

Irrelevant. Overruled. Get it?

Now I'm tired of toying with you. You're far too easy.

Redfox,

Please don't take any disciplinary action against 'MyUserNamesTaken' for their rudeness in the debate. I think it is important that people are allowed to express their views and I accept that sometimes individuals get over excited when trying to make their point and end up using inappropriate language (perhaps that comes down to upbringing and education).

It is difficult to have a debate without all views being represented.

To clarify a few points that seem to be under confusion.

Re
Contract Law: The contract is concluded at point of sale ie once money has exchanged hands.
Amendments to contract: A contract can only be amended with the agreement of BOTH parties once completed. If the contract has been completed there can be NO amendments by either party without agreement for example a vendor can NOT impose conditions that were not present at the conclusion of the contract, such as the case of returning games etc, if the game was NOT sealed at time of contract being formed then the vendor can NOT at time of refund impose the condition that a seal has to be present.
If a customer purchases an item in the belief that if certain conditions are fulfilled ie buy a console and game and receive a discount then that condition MUST prevail at time of sale, if not then an offence has been committed, ie the customer has been misled and made the purchase based on misleading information. This should be reported to Trading Standards.
In the case of Tesco one of the conditions of sale is that if you are charged a higher price than that advertised instore then you will receive the goods and a refund, if this does NOT happen then you have a case under contract law and also there is question to answer to the Advertising Standards Authority.

Contract Law does not apply to r&r in that r&r is part of the agreed contract and cannot be withdrawn once the sale has been completed,ie you purchase the item based on point of sale material leading you to believe you are paying one price when you in fact pay a higher price, there is provision within the Sale of Goods Act and the Advertising Standards guidelines to cover such an instance.
The burdon is NOT on the consumer to ensure that at time of contract the contractual conditions are adhered to but on the vendor. Ie you are not as the consumer required to scrutinise pos for dates and other smallprint qualifications the onus is on the VENDOR to provide clear and unambiguous pricing indications AT ALL TIMES.
I hope this clears up and resolves the current debate.

This post is for general information only and not in response to any singular post.

Thank you for an informative post.

The sentence I have high-lighted in bold is an interesting point i.e. is the right to an R&R a condition of the contract.

i went in my local store last night and the Xbox 360 and godfarher poster was up with the 20 quid off. However the poster had the top 10 games listed (or mayber 20) Then said GOTW Godfarther,save £20 when you buy with an XBOX360. Now that says to me that the discount is on the game not the console or am i wrong? and if i am does it still work cause if it does im going today

the key word is highlighted above - you got to buy both to trigger the discount. Like BOGOF's as you need the 2 to do the offer.

If its there - I would buy it very quick this morning and give HO the third degree

1) I have said before re novice R&R's asking basic Q's etc which irritate veterans, but I think it can apply to any poster who airs views you disagree with. If you cannot be civil or helpful. Don't reply. Leave it to someone who will help/keep civil:o
2) Maybe if we stopped all the general chit-chat it would help. Yes it is amusing to read all the banter between the regulars - but you are adding to the work load of the mods etc and making the thread TOOOooo long to be really useful - in my humble opinion:A pm each other.

The fact that many advertise their trophies like badges of honour, and openly publicise how many different bundles they have got in the last few weeks is bound to get them in HO spotlight.

Old Bag, thank you for a helpful and common sense post.

Redfox - I think the boastful nature of some of the posters is leading to the debate becoming heated. When somebody is boasting about having obtained their second,third or fourth expensive electrical item (when you can only use one), I think it is the sort of post that leads people to think that Tesco's R&R policy (compensation to the customer for making a genuine mistake) is being exploited by morally dubious individuals for profit.

As a regular Tesco's shopper I don't expect Tesco's to be perfect in every piece of pricing, that is not practical or realistic. I think it is very responsible of them to have a compensation policy. What I don't agree with is people actively setting out to obtain free goods (a selfish act) and in doing so driving up prices for ordinary shoppers.

Redfox - Perhaps this threads guidelines could have boastful statements and details of products obtained for free in a triumphalist manner discouraged ?
I thought there was another separate thread dedicated to just mis-prices ?

Personally I think moving the legal/moral debate to the Arms is a great idea.

I used to have a life, I used to read books, I even got paid to review them.

Then r&r happened and I don't get to bed before 3am after trawling through the hundreds of posts - sad I know!

I love the contributions by Tesco-ites, employees and supporters but when posts become overtly aggresive and personal it's time for a reality check.

This thread should simply be a discussion about r&r, it's gone way over most people's heads with contracual law debating and individual baiting.

Please don't get us closed down - again- and I'm not just talking about the people who come on here to wind us up.

It isn't just them, we are responding and putting our threads in peril.

I love r&r, God knows all my family will love it this Christmas!

I find 90% of my r&r because of these threads as I'm sure most others do, please don't take the chance and blow it for all of us.

If you want to make it personal, antagonistic, legal or off topic please use the new thread : http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=274398

Sorry for the mini rant, here endeths the Sunday Sermon

This is the 'Tesco misprice discussion area part 11'.

How can you have a discussion if you are not allowed to discuss ?

The other thread was described yesterday by one of the regular posters to this thread as a 'dumping ground' ! i.e. a place where they don't see and therefore don't have to discuss their activities.

I think your polite attempt to divert discussion away from this discussion thread is well meaning, but this is the the discussion thread where the 'action is'.
