Comet - Firesale
« on: 05 November 2012, 23:37 »
Lots of rumours on the tinterweb, anyone know what the crack is? Or do you know anyone that works there?  Need loads of techie stuff so hoping there’s a half decent sale….

“Fire sale” gives the impression that its guna be cheap as fook!  Doubt it, as it’s so close to crimbo, people will be happy as long as it’s just cheaper.  However I’m tight and want a bargain so if you know anything… please share  :cool:

It will actually be an excuse to put prices up! So beware!

Yep. You'll see was £1000 now £600 and you think wow what a bargain, but pre administration is was actually £400.

Example, screwfix do a 120w worklight for (I'll round the figures up as can't remember the pennies) £10, saying it was £13. Well actually I bought the same light from the same place for £5 several months ago.

Yea, all they need is to be able to say is that in one store for a period of,I think the law says 28 days, it was advertised at £**** (some inflated price) - then they can say its now half price or whatever.

Oh and if you are looking to buy something big (I'm after a new upright freezer) you can forget free delivery and take the old one away services!

hiya ant, yeah think your right, some of the stock wasnt paid for (by comet) so think the suppliers have taken it back. 

Either way, they're fuc*d, just about leaves currys/pcworld or online, could even give the smaller retailers a chance to grow!? especially with crimbo round the corner.

have to do a pint sometime over the next month or so, if your around??
