saw on the news that comet are in admin and there having a sale to raise funds and hopefully save the jobs.

I also went to my local Comet in London, there are signs in the windows saying "No closing down sale - business as usual"

They are not in liquidation, just in administration, and continuing to trade. So far the administrators have not closed any stores, but I would imagine that some will be closed shortly.
As long as you can take anything you buy away with you there and then, it's perfectly OK to use them.

I heard on the radio today that comet was having a sale and there is big reductions, So i went there to look for a new cleaner but there was no sale and when a customer asked a worker about the sale they said there wasn't any. So i thought it's a big con.

That depends on how you define a 'con'. I haven't seen anywhere where Comet themselves or Deloittes have said there will be a sale. Just because 'the news' says something, that doesn't automatically make it true.

I wouldn't get over excited about a sale, that is when the 'con' for the naive starts, how many have forgotten already when Woolworths were closing, the sale was not really a sale (just glad I licked the pick n mix sweets and put them back :rotfl:)

It's not having anywhere to take them back to when anything fails that would put me off, unless it was mega cheap or a basic item.

If a firesale does take place I am sure all the good clobber will have been whisked away for sale as a job lot in the trade.

But the manufacturer's' warranty will still be there, even if Comet go to the wall.
