For the record, i do share your views on needless reservations, or those made for financial gain - though don't condone the above quotes.

Blind if you cant see the point i'm making, greedy if your re-selling items or reservations or stupid if you dont realise that reserving without intention to purchase is causing the consumer/retailer a loss of purchase/sale.

........but if that pr4t hadn't have reserved items.....

Granted

........Numpty!

Justified IMHO

For the record, i do share your views on needless reservations, or those made for financial gain - though don't condone the above quotes.

This doesn't make my opinion any the less valid.

p.s... fair play to you for posting the origonal offer, but all this reserve for the sake of it is not good for the consumer on the bigger scale...it might work for MSE but how long before a tabloid gets a story angle and causes Martin some flak?
food for thought (I look at the big picture, not whats in front of me)

My views, particulary on those reservations made for financial gain have already been made in this posting, from this thread.

Perhaps we can discuss this further in the vent board, as to not take away the emphasis of this thread which is actually about a robot.

I ordered one and got this message:

Thank you for placing your order. Unfortunately we cannot confirm your order straight away, but we will send you an acknowledgement email shortly (this may take a couple of hours during busy periods).
There is no need to re submit this order

Actually, about a robot that is not available in nearly all stores (most of them will be on Ebay within 48hrs) /pedantic

My gripe is not with you sir, but the Numpty that made the reservations, and others that will follow suit if it think it will gain them kudos or profit.
This is not what this board was intended for, and I will pounce on such people untill I get banned (several times, as I can spoof my ip at the drop of a hat)
I would like to vent my anger in the right section, but it will fall on deaf ears because the people abusing this site will only come to where the money is

this will be my last word, as this debate is already won.
Thank you and goodnight.
Hope you have a healthy and fulfilling new year.

No it isn't - you just think you're clever, when you aren't really. You can't even spell.
