Comet Clearance Website

stuart264

Has anyone used the Comet Clearance Auction Website as I registered last night while looking for a tumble dryer cheap and was just about to bid when I realised that the registration confirmation email cam back from a tiscali e-mail address not a comet.com address?

Anyone know if this is legit or a scam?

(Don't want to post the url for obvious reasons)

It surprises me that it doesn't take you to a secured login when you try and sign in i.e. it's http as opposed to https. That always makes me suspicious.

EDIT - seems legit

My mum won a cooker and save just under £200 ON RRP. She got a confirmation of delivery in the post and it was a comet headed envelope.

It is legit. It's not unusual (though very bad practice) for a company website not to take you to the secure area; it's happened to me before with other sites. You can force it to take you to the secure site (if it exists) by simply typing in an 's' after 'http'.

Sorry to the rest of forums, but I think that this website needs bumping up the forum.

I won a 38" widescreen, virtual Dolby 100htz TV for £400:D
No stand - didn't need one
No manual - went online & downloaded it.

Happy days, for about a week then it broke down. Noworries Comet collected it, fixed it & returned.
Broke down again (all within the first 3 weeks), Comet sent an Engineer & he fixed it there & then.
Still working 3years later:T

Now looking for a condensing tumble dryer for my new flat when I move.
It's just like eBay, but better. I can't believe more retailers don't do it
Happy days.
