    Can you please tell us where you got this info from?
    I.e copied from HUKD or do you know what products will be available?
    Not all stores will open at 7am, my local will be opening at 8am.

    Based on the last 3G offer, I think B&Q should rename this game

    "Going, Going, Withdrawn"

    Since most of the items didn't sell, are still available for sale, now at original prices.
    Perhaps they are hoping to shift them again this Friday?

    Strangely enough I've noticed that too.
    I can't understand why they put the prices back up? It totally defeats the object of a going, going, gone sale.

    I suggest "Going Up, Going Up, Going Up, Reverse Sale"

    It will be interesting to know what the products are, just to see how competitive they make the prices this time around.

    SORRY TO BE EXTREMELY DENSE, BUT WHAT IS GOING GOING GONE? IS IT WHEN THEY MARK EVERYTHING DOWN TO GET RID OF IT? (sorry for caps, just noticed! I have been working on a spreadsheet)

    The 10 items quoted above have very limited availability and will be at sale prices. Once the stock has gone, that's it - either they won't stock the item again, or if they do it will be at 'normal' prices.
    The prices will be announced tomorrow and advertised in the papers.
    It's a popular event, usually with queues at the door on the starting day (this Friday).
