Guess what?Boots will have bought the items for less than they are selling them for.Are they greedy pigs too?

I hate jealous people with so much time on their sad hands, that they have nothing better to do than contact a company and moan that other people got their first.

Boo hoo, them nasty people took all the soap and glory.

well for once i thought i was lucky as it started on my day off so did a detour on way to gym, the shelves were virtually empty by 930am - but i did pick up something for school fair.
My flea market stall does benefit from things i find in glitches and i do get miffed sometimes when someone beats me to things but i'm not in a good paying job and until i am i have to do this to make ends meet.

Got to admit, if I thought the stuff would sell on ebay, then i'd be tempted to do the same thing!

Whats the problem
you buy an item sell it on ebay and make a profit its called buisness
NOTE-i have not bought any items from boots nor sold any boots items on ebay

I'm sure they all declare their businesses to HMRC too

It's annoying to miss out sometimes, but c'est la vie. Get in earlier next time... I can't stand shopping in town at the best of times, so sale stampedes are my own idea of personal hell :laugh:

Boo hoo spit the dummy.

So op, its ok for you to buy loads for your
'huge family' but others cant buy loads for
their own reasons?

Smacks of double standards to me.

Boots couldn't give a flying fig who buys what,
a sale is a sale, its all money on their bottom
line.

They don't need to 'build brand loyalty' generally
people buy where they can get the best price, or
where they percieve they get the 'best service', I
hardly think they will worry about a few people having
a bit of a moan on the internets.

This is a free country, people can do what they like,
within reason, if that means making a few quid for
themselves at the expense of others, then so be it, the
fact that you even took part in the sales, means that
another person missed out on a 'bargain'

Morals, fairness, greed etc etc don't even come in to
it, even though such things are often banded around
when people think others aren't 'playing fair'

So I say, hoover up all the stock, sell it on for a profit
if you can, make yourself a few quid, because if you
don't, as you've seen others will.

I once had an option to sell something on ebay which fetched a premium. I was accused of "Greed" by whom i put them down to be as jealous that they could not afford/did not have them to sell.

Its a buyers market, and if the items dont sell. The seller will make a loss/keep them.

Sorry but i think its unfair to the consumer.

I was in M & S where ther underwear was on sale. I wait for the sale because frankly its bloody expensive and i get my years worth for a smidge of the price (i also always get M&S vouchers from my nan used for this every year)

Went over to the area and two blokes with trollys came up and scooped the whole display (and i mean all of it) in to them for their car boot/ebay stalls.

On this occasion it got ugly as the manager refused to serve them (there were a large number of very annoyed ladies asking that M and S did not serve them)

The gents who were very rude and nasty to the manager and the ladies asking M and S to intervene...... The guys were shouting there was no item limit or rules about selling on. The manager said she would call head office. She came back with a grin on her face and said they were quite correct, no limit. However M & S reserve the right not to sell to a customer if they choose and she had taken the hard decision in this instance not to.

A massive cheer went up

However i still didnt get my bra as the guys refused to leave, or unload the bras and i had somewhere to be.

What is the point of having a sale if your loyal consumers cant enjoy the reductions you offer?
