    See now that upsets me a bit.. I'd have liked to have got a couple for presents for my mum and aunt.. but haven't been able to find them anywhere. It just seems wrong to me to profit from this kind of thing, but maybe I'm naive. Everything I've got from boots has been for personal use or for presents.

    Start them at a fiver each and lower the price if no takers? The box they come in makes them look like they were quite expensive so you could do really well. Good luck!! ;)

    Whats the difference the person selling them will probably spend the money on their family anyway. I don't think that people should be so judgemental.

    Not being judgemental just commenting that these are something that would be useful personally and I can't buy them because people have cleared the shelves in order to make a profit..

    It's like the tesco thing, where people were filling their trollies with stuff to carboot and then those who genuinely had need of those items couldn't buy them because they were all sold out.

    That's all I meant.

    Please please please can we keep this the lovely friendly thread that it usualy is??
    I didnt get a massager, and would have liked to have tried one....BUT I have got masses and masses of bargains and freebies thanks to all the people who take the time to post on here and share all their Bootsing knowledge. Yes, it would be great if we could all benefit from every single offer/glitch, but its just not going to happen. There will always be times when some people miss out....but they may well get some of the best bargains/freebies next time round.

    Right....I shall step off my soap box now :o
