    Look how many of the QUADS are on Ebay now :( ; http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=EVO+QUAD&_sacat=220&_odkw=EVO+QUAD&_osacat=220&_from=R40

    Some sellers selling more than one & if you look on their ''other items'' you can recognise things like the 90p swing seat etc & some other T & Argos bargains!!..

    This seller actually states "we have a few" in their description. This just isn't fair, and also no wonder mr t cottons on so quick if people are obviously ordering 10+ of an item at once. I only wanted one of the blooming things for my nephew. Gutting. Like others have said, not so bad if you miss out but lots on here got them for their lo's, but when it's the eBay parasites making money off it, that's another thing.

    I no longer look at eBay for items I can't get off Mr T it's too upsetting when all you want is to see a smile on your child's face. To some inc myself grabbit is the only way I can afford to get him big presents or as much come Xmas. His birthday he gets less but Xmas I like to get more, which I can't do without the bargains I find here.

    The whole Mr T silly system is the worst idea I've seen in ages, why such a big company with so many orders an hour don't have a live system is beyond me. All that's happening is it's producing lots of unhappy customers. So why keep it when it's clearly not working.

    I'm happy for everyone that's got a quad that's not gone on eBay. But I'm still a wee p off that I've managed to get 1 after trying twice, even paying the extra for postage 2nd time. I don't mind when I miss out on something bit makes me angry when it's something for our boy. Why should he miss out just cos Mr T has a silly system.

    Yes I will keep trying for the quad if it goes back down, if not try n hunt down something else.

    i know its annoying ordering from t to get ur orders cancelled and then discover someone has ordered 10 for resale and received them all - however we can get upset but run all the fortunate greedy ones down ?? to me i dont think we have this right and to do so just winds one up further does it not ? i mean at the end of day we are fortunate that t do misprice on such a regular basis and we can sometimes be lucky enough to exploit this. i know i have posted deals eg waybuloo bike and had my order cancelled yet others who have ordered after me have them honoured - it is a wind up but at the same time i still have my health and my kids maybe down a bargain but they r still breathing and well loved - not too sure y i ve bothered with this response as its bound 2 wind somebody up (not my intentions) but all the negativity is getting on my nerves and just wanted to remind people that life is not only about possessions i mean thats y our country is so screwed at the moment is it not --- and as 4 our poor deprived kids - really ?? western children r lucky to live the lives they do without concerning themselves with food/clean water/ medical /etc ......i mean if u were to observe kids in the 3rd world they go without everything yet still know how to SMILE and get on with others they dont waste wot time they have being jealous of us and thinking life is unfair as they already know this yet just get on with it regardless to make the most of their lives and be HAPPY regardless
    sorry 4 my rant just couldnt stop myself any longer !!!

    Well said butterfl. No-one ever changed the world by trying to change other people but if you change yourself, the possibilities are endless.

    Its gone back to £29.96 again - how annoying.

    I bought one at 1.20 am

    1 X Urban Racers 12"" Boys Bike with stabilisers pound-black.jpg14.96 Delivery chargepound-gray.jpg0.00 Subtotal:£14.96

    Keep checking - as its clearly a glitch.

    You COULD buy it anyway - and print off the page with the price - making sure the date and time are on it. Then argue after that they took too much money. Extra hassle - but it depends how much you need one though.

    Just ordered one of these gaming chairs for one of DS1's xmas pressies....

    My 9 year old has one of these that he loves, since his xbox is in the living room (which has no place for a large black banana shaped chair) we have to take it up and down stairs for him (they're quite bulky and heavy) so he also sits in it to watch TV in his bedroom, uses it like a rocking chair.
