    Have to say well done to anybody who managed to get any of these, its a fantastic deal! I cant lie, if I had a chance to have got any I would have bought more than one, maybe given some as presents. What makes me laugh is how evil the people are on HUKD to the OP, calling MSE fluffy wuffy!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    went to Tesco in Bellshill today just on the off chance - no great offers on display, girl came over and asked if she could help, and I said I was just looking to see if there were any offers on digital cameras - she said her colleague was just stickering one which was reduced - got a shiny new Samsung WB 500 for £36 - result - very pleased as my old samsung was nicked a few weeks ago when I got burgled - this one is 10.2 megapixels (not the best I know), but it has a 10 x zoom which is a real bonus, well chuffed, thanks to the guys who posted this:j

    If you do a search (either on google or a search of this thread) for "middlesborough" and "tesco" you will find neither middl*sb0r0ugh nor t*sco.

    So if Tesco wants to have people read all the way through then they can and will find out the store's name, but they can't just cheat and search.

    but there's only one or two threads at a time around the misprices so surely its a lot easier a job for them to read the thread rather than googling each individual tesco location over and over? While I can believe tesco might have someone look at sites like this and HUKD, I imagine they know where to look rather than searching blind like that.

    So when I see a glitch I take exactly what I want of it because if I don't some one else will! If I could guarantee that if I only took one or two of something and that would mean that some one on a lower income would benefit, trust me I'd leave it behind. But in a real world it's just not going to happen.

    this is really a sad indictment of our societal attitudes at present. shame really.

    Everyone likes a bargain and if we buy more than one it is a personal choice. Most people you try to help by pointing out a bargain look at you as if you are mad anyway. So if I see a bargain I get enough for anyone in my family who might want one.
    When there was a brief glitch on Knives and homewares a couple of months ago I got a set of knives for me, my sister, my daughter, my Mum and my niece. The evening it happened I was the only person taking advantage in my store anyway and 2 hours later the glitch was fixed. So all my family had some really good items for a good price.
    One of the assistants practically sneered at me some weeks ago when I got a good glitch on the dinner services. She said I dont know how people have the time to look for these bargains and I just replied that I would rather spend a bit of time looking for bargains than pay a higher price.
    Each to his own and I dont see why people think they have the right to judge us for it.

    "its not about the find - it is about greed .. and one can dress that up in any way one may like. it still remains as greed. and to a degree unethical/amoral. i mean would you like to be "scammed" because of an honest error regardless of your wealth ?

    as they say "you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig"""

    Do you need to be so rude??

    firstly im not being rude just a statement of fact.

    yes everyone likes a bargain. an honest to goodness bargain.

    a glitch is not an honest bargain, its a glitch, an error. in the same way that you might be short changed (what if tescos said it was a glitch?). its an error and you'd be the first to have that error rectified.

    to me it feels like stealing and im all in favor of bargains.

    Seems to me that you are just a little envious that maybe you have not found any bargains yet. It is a free world. However might be more tactful if people did not post that they got 5 cameras and I certainly wont post again exactly what I get. It will be between me and Tesco( or wherever else I get a bargain) I don't really need people on here being judgemental and nasty when they don't even know me.
