    I just ordered another if I am lucky enough to get 2 (which I doubt) ill be sure to sell to someone on here for face value.

    Thats a great offer. Shame that all those folks profiteering on Ebay don't feel the same. But how would you decide who to give it to, your pm box would be bursting.

    If anyone is looking for accessories, Dixons/Currys/PCWorld have the International Travel Power Kit for £9.99 inc free delivery.

    EDIT: Use code TABLET5 for another 5% off.

    Still a bit expensive for what it is, but better than £30...

    Hi,
    NOt used to Argos online, soryy if this is a dumby question as I cant see the payment / checkout area.

    I can get one into my basket, but on the right its got 2 red "out of stock for delivery" and "cannot be reserved for pick up".
    Tried adding some junk to the basket, got a "can be reserved..." for the junk.

    So have gone for the email me when back in stock optiopn,

    Have I missed a button for go to checkout?
    Thanks!

    Just collected mine with many thanks to "meerustar" for supplying a spare reservation code. My wife will be over the moon. The young lad in Argos said they are having loads more shipped in for September so keep your eyes peeled.

    :j:j:j

    You're welcome :D

    So pleased you managed to pick it up, I was a little worried that when you got there they would say it had gone, so really pleased for you :D

    And I also gave the reservation code away for selfish reasons ... I beleive good things happen to good people, so thought the lottery fairy might be looking down on me for doing this .. so cross your fingers people as I will be checking my lottery ticket after my brew ;):rotfl: (and no I won't be sharing if I win the jackpot, I've spent years planning on how I'll spend it, lol)



    ETA - Not even a tenner, lol ... but Karma sometimes takes its time ;)
