    It's a shame that a thread about possible sale bargains has turned into nasty personal attacks and even open threats:
    "i can asure you i know a lot more about you than you think so keep looking over your shoulder. what goes around comes around and you will pay" sounds like a threat of a personal assault to me. On many sites you would be banned for such comments.
    Can we please not just get back to talking about "grab it now" deals instead??
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.

    to all those asking about 20% off everything, this was sent out first

    then they retracted and changed it to this:

    yet checking the site, so many items have gone UP in price, so that even with a 30% discount are not that great a bargain

    bose and sonos gear all off the site so no bargains to be had there...

    will wait and see
  • :naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty: Think we should all just chill out and realise it's only a forum and just block someone if they say something nasty/offensive/you don't like. Report them if they go OTT but just ignore the comment and don't lower yourself to argue with them back.

    Best buy are guilty of one thing.

    Really bad timing.

    The credit crunch caught them out ..No one is buying big ticket items at best buy or anywhere else.

    Don't forget Comet was given away last week.

    And I would guess the state of DGSi is not too great.

    Richer Sounds is not making much if any profit.

    I think some people should take a step back on this thread.
    Stating that a company has a bad business model and will be forced out of the market is something that happens.
    People lose there jobs all the time ...it is... odd as it sounds, healthy.

    Amazon is building new distribution centres and my favourite John Lewis ( because of the relationship with it's staff) is still making way even in these rough seas.

    Are ALL the stores closing down? Just wondered as the one in Merry Hill hasn't been open long.


    They are now integrating electronics into the CPW stores. Big waste of a joint effort.

    Welcome Ianise. It's the quality of the staff training that will be effected by this move probably, so i agree with you. It's nice to go into an electrical or mobile shop and the staff know what they are talking about.

    Is it wise to buy an expensive electrical item from a business that is closing down
