    Thanks OP. Just got the last 2 at the Blackpool branch this morning; one for me and one for my sister who bought herself a new Playbook yesterday.

    No price on the shelf, so I had to ask a passing assistant to check the price. He was amazed to see they were only £4.99!

    its been said before - but buying to sell on and profit and then publishing this is pure greed and selfishness! there are people that would genuinely like the offer and miss out because of this.

    No it isn't!

    Shops and Ebay would be rather empty if people didn't sell anything at a profit.

    Well we are all entitled to an opinion but there are people out there that genuinely need one of these as they have a Playbook. They are hard to source at this price and it is quite frustrating when people are buying on a bulk for profit basis!

    If you choose to do this then all im saying is dont be smug and brag about it!

    Whatever you say - this site is for SAVING people money and people buying for their own gain is taking that oppourtunity away from people who want to take advantage of a deal!

    End of!

    But if they are sold on for £15 + postage, the people who buy them are still saving money.

    By your theory, we should buy everything direct from the manufacturer and cut out the middle men.

    In this case, the people who re-sell them have had to make an effort and go to the store and buy them.

    its the world we live in i'm sorry to say, i have mouths to feed just like everyone else. I sold them in good faith, cheaper than any other on-line store, with 12 months warranty.

    I would rather be working towards the greater good of all, but until the financial systems of the world collapse, I am but one man trying to make a better life for my family and for that I need money.

    PS I did not use MSE to find the items, I had already discovered the unit on sale.

    Hope you don't 'forget' to declare & pay tax then, or is your surname Starbucks?
