Hi,
First thread that I have started so if its not in the right place then apologies in advance.
Quick bit of advice is needed. I went into Curry's on Weds evening to price up a new camcorder. They had one in particular on sale that was £160 on Amazon £223 on eBay and they had it for £79.99.
I thought it was a bargain so said to the salesperson that I would have it and off he went to sort it out.
He came back and to cut a long story short said that the camera on display was the last one and one of his colleagues has reserved it for their friend..... Erm !!!!!! !! Is this correct procedure? I was under the impression that if it was in the shop it was available and if you reserved it then it would be taken off general sale.
Some advice would be greatly received as I am furious with this shop!!
Thanks in advance
