    they are just selling you the info re sellers who buy and sell seconds from argos. ive never heard of anyone getting items for nowt!
    you are unlikely to deal direct with argos as they sell returns, in container lots only. i know a chap who buys furniture off them.
    so you really have to deal with a middle man.

    the info is available for free off the net, if you look hard enough.
    heres one wholesaler for nothing: you owe me a beer!

    The problem that may occur if you buy a container or palletof goods, there are amixedbunchand you could end up with faulty items that may not be financially viable to resell, unless you go direct to a cash and carry and see the items, your playing a lottery!

    The thread is 2 years old and that is probably why th elink doens't work.

    I think to avoid confusion it is probably best if I close this thread now.
