    Spanky & Zaphod or anybody for that matter how are you picking these up with no probs with the price? They came up at £24.95 for me and they said "the price you pay etc etc etc!"

    The price on the website is still £8.73 so i dont know why you are being charged £24, ask them to check the website.

    That didnt work for me. I took a print out she disappeared for a few minutes then said she had been advised the price you pay is the price instore on the day etc. I cant find it on the site anymore by just searching for it normally its only through the link that it appears. I guess i just got a miserable manager.
  • Gouryella, phone the reservation line and see how much you're quoted on there. Explain that they are clearance and should be £8.73. If that doesn't work, get them to phone head office.

    I checked on the web - still showing £8.73. Inspired by the above posts, I marched back into Argos, moaned that several others had got it at that price and demanded that the Manager view the website. It came up at 'Today's Price £8.73' which quietened him down a bit, and after some waffle about problems with promotions, he agreed to sell it me for that price since it was still being advertised. :j
  • Just took the copy of the reservation page from the net into gosport Argos and handed in to the till

    Incidentally, the Manager said they received 4 in stock yesterday, all of which were reserved within half an hour.
    I've advised him to expect another 3 unhappy customers later today.

    All I did was ring and reserve this morning and went straight into collect them.
  • Seriously, to anyone having problems, get the manager to ring head office, as these aren't on promotion. They are clearance items, hence them being £8.73.
