    This 55" Hitachi smart tv on sale in Argos €479. Does anyone know how good or bad this tv is? Is it worth buying?

    Argos appear to have decent price discounts on the iPhone 5s refurb range. However, there is no stock to be found on any model or colour. This leads me to ask if they had little to no stock in the first place!?

    Argos are about 24 hours late in getting stock from the UK due to ferries being delayed by storm Angus.

    I have a code for the black 8gb fire tablet.
    It has to be collected by six this evening .
    I reserved this at full price but I'm sure you would only pay today's price for it . It is for wexford.

    If I reserve something in ARGOS online "can be ordered for collection" do they give it to you at the price you reserved it at or.....?

    No but they usually do honour the price. They may ask for email showing reservation number and price. Sometimes they refuse and they have a right to refuse. I've been refused a few times before but usually they honour it.

    It's in the T&C that the price is the price on the day of collection. You could always try and sweet talk them though. I suppose it depends on the day, the manager, and the price difference.

    Yeah but the question is when will it go up, as it could easily be timed to go live around 6/7am. I have no idea why the site is taken down, the UK site is running fine.

    Does the site being taken down mean that their ongoing sale items be slashed even further plus some new deals being put up?

    Nope, wouldnt hold my breath. Id bank on it being closer to the morning. Possibly some "smart" managers decision to take the site down, to "give everyone a fair go" and not have the nightowls raiding the shop with reservations.
