My ten year old *LOVES* Take That and has told me that, until they get rid of 'The Annoying One' again, she doesn't want any of their albums or singles etc. She saw them sing on something the other night and said it looked more like 'The Robbie Williams Show' than Take That. She also spotted one of the two I get mixed up (Jason and Howard) shooting Robbie a sly foul look so she says!

I get quite freaked out because Robbie was my teen crush and now she likes him :eek: But then we both think Jared Leto is quite nice

Did they honour the price? I had 2 reserved but it was for the monday so just left it :rotfl:

I have tried to get 1 item so far and missed out, it was also on again 9.30 this morning but i was at work. I have seen something i might like for myself later but is there any point me even trying to get it if people are getting it in there basket and not actualy checking out?.

Cant understand why people are holding on to what they have got and not checked out yet?

Also anyone want to try and get me the philips shaver lol £31.99 present from the kids. will round it up to £32.00 if you get me one lol.

Hi everyone,

I dont want a big debate (and I dont want this read as an issue....it really isnt) - but I am a little confused by how outraged some people seem to be that people are buying items in these deals to sell on....surely we expect that to happen these days? Is it not the same as bid up tv / ebay when your bid goes up etc??

Just wondering that is all.....I can see both sides, but surely if someone can be bothered to go through the palaver of buying the items and selling them on ebay etc then good for them? (same as people who have the time to trawl through TX Max and car boots). Amazon wont care as they are laughing all the way to the bank for selling so much stock in such a short period of time - and a lot of it will be stuff that they have a LOT of I guess!!

Anyway, hope you have all got the things that you really wanted - the Lego seemed to disappear super quick!! Maybe tomorrow!!

I am in neither camp, if people buy to sell on good for them.
Just annoying if you want something for yourself and cant get it as others have bought them all to sell on. TBH a lot of the stuff i think is a load of bullwhip, and wouldnt buy it for half the offer price.

I do this but only so I have to put through one transaction at the end of the day.

:eek: that's bad!!!! I didn't think they would honour it tbh so well done for getting the offer :T (If i worked for Argos i would've honoured it for you without a question That's probably why i don't work there :rotfl: )
