    Reserved at capitol centre.
    got 2, my brother tried to get one 5 minutes later....no deal.

    Anyway, I have a spare one if you NEED it. You have given me good advice on here and would like to repay it.

    If you do not need it then I will give to someone on here who does need it.

    I WANT MY BLOODY PENNY THOUGH!!!:mad:

    I know it was probably a mistake. BUT.

    I think after reading these T&C`s anybody would be well within their rights to complain to any relevent authorities:money:

    Reserve & Collect Terms and Conditions
    Products marked as available for Reserve & Collect can be reserved online for you to collect from a local Currys store, subject to that store’s stock availability.

    Simply add the product to your basket as usual. When you reach the “Shopping Basket” screen, you will see which products you have selected for Reserve & Collect. Those marked as available for Reserve & Collect can be moved, if you wish, to your home delivery basket (or vice versa). Our Store Finder service will then let you choose your nearest store with stock availability for you to Reserve & Collect.

    Upon confirmation of your Reserve & Collect request, you will be returned to your shopping basket to complete your purchase of any delivery items.
    If you select Reserve & Collect, you must go to the relevant store to collect the goods by no later than close of business the next trading day. Please allow at least one hour between selecting your goods and arriving at the store to collect them.

    You will need to take your Reserve & Collect print out and reference number with you. On arrival, please go to the Reserve & Collect point. We try to make sure that Reserve & Collect goods always remain available for purchase until you arrive at the store, however we cannot guarantee this. For this reason we do not take any payment from you until you come to our store. You can pay by cashor credit/debit card, but not by any business account.




    In the unlikely event that the goods are not available we will do everything we can to get the product from another Currys store or find you an acceptable alternative.



    All Reserve & Collect sales take place in our stores. Sales are therefore subject to our usual in-store Terms and Conditions and the Manager’s discretion. However, provided you bring your Reserve & Collect print out and/or reference number with you, our store will supply the goods at the online price which applied when you chose to Reserve & Collect. This may be cheaper than the usual instore price!


    You must provide a telephone number when you place a Reserve & Collect order. We may call you to ask whether and when you intend to collect the goods. If we are unable to contact you we may stop holding the goods available to you.


    Remember: Do not feel sorry for them, they are a horrible company that treat customers like ingrates:mad:

    So ... although you are browsing the Grabbit forum for ways to buy bargains you are not prepared to share any of your own!!:confused:

    Thanks for that!

    I said that I'm not currently prepared to post them publically because of the greedy few - that's different to sharing details with people on this site. I have in the past, publically shared bargains and more recently done so via PM's - that way I can choose not to pass information onto those who subsidise their purchases by selling additional items on eBay. I am more than happy to assist genuine moneysavers - it's the few who in my opinion spoil it where I have problems.

    You've only got to look a recent posts to see people boasting about buying things seen on this site and then selling them on eBay for a profit - multimix food processors, Gaggia coffee machines, Ninetendo Wi's, phillips low energy bulbs to name a few.

    People like that stand out a mile away on ebay as they are normally have new accounts and they list multiple items in the same auction or when you see what else they are selling it brings it all up.

    When I after a Xbox 360 HD DVD drive I noticed on ebay a seller who's name was something like "must have items" and he ran a shop with all the most wanted items at high prices. I don't agree with people selling loads of stuff on ebay but I don't see the harm in someone selling a one off item they bought cheap on ebay for a profit as any ebay seller is trying to make a profit on items they sell as no-one wants to make a loss
