    "I bought one for myself in superstore, was wrong prize, I think, so I bought few more. So you have chance to get it for bargain money."

    Yes, or you could have left them in the store where at least 8 people could have enjoyed finding one for an even better price without having to pay you 275% more than you paid for it, plus £12 shipping!
    Note that the £12 shipping option is for a 3-5 day "economy delivery option too, not even first class!

    I need a hand blender and I went out to Tesco looking for one of these every chance I got. It's no wonder I couldn't find one with people buying 8 at a time to put on eBay. And I am darned if I am paying £15 plus £12 shipping to a greedy ******** trying to make out he's doing people a favour.


    no wonder I couldn't find any in Hull :(

    You could always buy one from him at his "bargain price". Or not.

    Too many people on ebay with Tesco stock no wonder people couldn't find anything, I think some had inside information to get so many items not much in the local store. They won't make any profit of me but somebody will buy off them.
  • anymore news on possible reductions?

  • The reductions will be line specific, not everything will go down. The amount of reductions has slowed recently, original discounts were 50 to 75%, now they are around 2 to 10%. Again, all these cuts will be on discontinued items and its not really worth going down to a store early. Bargains won't magically appear as not all stores have loads of discontinued stock, newer stores 1 to 3 years old won't have as good a deals as 4 to 10 year old stores and most of the really cheap stuff has gone by now in most places. Its really starting to run toward the end now

    I hit the motherload today! Went to a Tesco quite a way away from me, but one I've not seen mentioned on here. Seems it hadn't had been pillaged and the staff weren't too bothered about the reduced electricals!

    I got:

    Toshiba netbook £99
    2x Windows 7 Professional Upgrade £9.50 < for updating my two desktops!
    Twin Portable DVD player £24
    2 Hoover handheld vacuum cleaners £2.96
    6x 1 Hour Battery charger £2 (gone to friends and family)
    2 x Microsoft Office 2010 product key thingies...not sure how to use these!
    4 x Campingaz cooker £1.50 (1 for me, 1 for my sister, 1 for my uncle and 1 for a friend)
    4Gb Technika MP4 player £13

    The best bit was that they took 2 x £5 off £50 spend on electricals (all I had on me), a £6 Morrisons voucher and a £5 Mail voucher!


    Incidentally, for those making sarcastic remarks about people asking for spare laptops/netbooks, I bought the Toshiba netbook with the intention of putting it up on here for someone who's been asking for one (would have been cost plus postage). I didn't actually need it, as I managed to get one a week or so ago, when they first went down. Unfortunately, my friend asked if she could buy it off me for her son for Xmas, so it's no longer available.


    Hi, I am really after a hand-held vacuum for the hard to get bits in the car, any chance of the make, colour and bar code please? TIA
