Boxing day sales, tuhh

Options
I went to Selfridges over Boxing day to look at the sales.
They had the Dr Dre headphones ***£50*** SALE
Went onto Amazon and found them £30 cheaper.
I dont believe anything is cheaper on boxing day, its the big red signs that get you to spend and the rush of people

    should there be a big red sign as to the purpose of this board?
  • Lots of retailers use the sales to get rid of old stock and also sell stuff they wouldst normally get rid of just so it bumps up there sales.

    Also you posted in wrong forum
  • You found Dr Dre headphones for £20?

    If they did they're still overpriced IMO.

    ;)

    I think its also well known that Boxing day stores don't really try too hard, they know they have a captive audience and few reduce enough that I would consider things a bargain, only problem is if you really want something because of the whole madness of Boxing day things tend to sell out fast.

    I don't know if I've seen Dr Dre headphones on anywhere for less then a hundred or so, I don't look as they're not my thing but I know the brand have a RRP on them and wont allow them to be sold for less.

    Agree with you azza87 there are much better quality versions out there right now- and for a great deal less!
