I'm not making anything, my brother wants to sell his duplicate christmas present. i don't think its fair to tell a 7 year old he can only get 7.99 for it because thats what the argos glitch was.

as for ebay, i'm getting fed up with the double whammy with paypal and listing fees :mad: , and if you've seen the size of this box it would be really awkward to post, limiting who could actually bid on it.

but point taken, i'll keep stuff like this in the right place in future , thanks for the info :beer:

the point is that whether or not you are doing someone a 'favour' you cannot use this forum to sell

I saw this on b&m and it was around 35.00 so why are argos selling them for 79.99?My sis in law put my res no in the quick pay machine and it had the price of 79.99 they were shocked and didnt bother.The box is massive so bit of a strigle to sell on ebaayy and c/boot sales people will rarley pay too much.I sold 2x items on ebay and iam yet to make profit but have spent loads, sometime just want to win I end up paying too much for cheap item.

I placed an order for home delivery about 4 days ago, hadnt heard anything nor did I recieve any email confirmation.

:T but just recieved a call from Argos telling me my order will be delivered on Monday :T

same here - ordered 20 as theyd make excellent birthday pressies for my son's friends and i could sell a 2 or 3 to cover some of my purchase costs, so it wouldnt cost me anything

didnt think it would come off.....until 12 were delivered on 31/12 - check my bank account and charged 7.99 each plus 2 delivery charges - excellent

Just called Argos to check what exactly was being delivered on Monday as the amount they debited out of my account did not coincide with the original total amount of my order.

:eek: No Roboreptiles on my order....

But,, I also ordered the baskets which they had on offer which were posted in another thread.

They were half price at £7.50 buy one get one free, but they had a glitch and if you entered quantity 3 the orice went down to £4.99 and if you entered quantity 6 the price went to £9.99

I ordered 6 lots at £9.99,

The wowan I spoke to as CS kept going on about how the price for the baskets was incorrect and asked why there were 6 lots. I told her I orderd 6 lots because I wanted 6 lots. she said that the price was wrong and should have been £45.00.

She said, im checking the website now and I can see they should come to £45.00


I told her that when I ordered the items and entered 6 lots, that the price that came up, and as they have already debited my account then there is nothing she can do, it wasnt my mistake it was thiers.

She said that once the order arrives she will have to put it to the finance department and they will then have to debit the balance...

IS THAT RIGHT???

Can they do that???:mad:

no if they have delivered the items and already charged you 9.99, they cannot take 45.00 without your prior permission. If they do then you have every right to expect a refund of 35.01. In theory they could ask for the goods back, but i would expect them to pay for my time and inconvenience. Lets face it they have computer systems, so why o why do they make so many errors...people thats why but its still shocking re: the amount of errors.

I have reservation numbers for Wokingham and Reading stores, if anyone lives local, pm me and ill mail you the reservation number.

These are held untill end of Saturday (tomorrow)

If you want these you will need to let me know tonight as I am away all day tomorrow..

looks like you got them now....i did have 15 reserved in stores at bracknell, reading, wokingham...but i didnt need them as it was difficult for me to get there as in london over xmas, also because i was waiting on orders at argos direct - so wasnt too bothered if i got the 15 or not but they argos direct order came good and will make excellent pressies

I sent them an email complaint that same day and they responded a few days later assuring me no further money will be taken:T

Goods have been delivered and all is well.:j

i know, it amazes me who think that ebay is cheap to sell.....its expensive for costly items....a wii sold at £255 will cost approx £20ish to sell if bought via paypal...those numpties selling genuine wii's (bought via paypal) at less than £195 are making a loss

i dont sell much on ebay now, just clearing out items not used - too many idiots on ebay - sellers and buyers

its just convenient
