Any time I go in I haggle about 10%+ off the value of anything, and that's nearly always equal or less than PC world to start with. Always been good value for me and cos' I'm a returning customer they look after me.

I have to say that's always been my experience dealing with them too... tried haggling in a pc world once and the sales person just laughed and looked at me like i was a freak for even asking.

yes their prices are high so your able to haggle. Their sales are a joke imo they make up original prices and say your saving like 100 euro in the sale :rolleyes:

do you not find it curious that they seem to have a sale every weekend, that's a bad sign tbh.

No offence but they look after you because they see the the money walking in.

Not in my experience, although my local store is the flagship so maybe it gets different treatment.

Haven't noticed that either. Even if they do, it's a sign they're trying to compete and they're always courteous and I tend to get value so they get my custom.

Yeah but if I get it cheaper than any of the DSG outlets (Currys, PC World and formerly Dixons) which are the only real competition out my way (Swords), then I'm happy. That's what it's all about at the end of the day and if I get better value by haggling and being a repeat customer then I'm happy to do that and get my stuff a little cheaper.

I shop in PC world too, tbh - they have a much wider range but for some things Harvey's is just plain cheaper.

Went into Harvey Normans today in Blanch myself (OP you weren't the lad who split grapefruit juice on his laptop like your man who worked there told be about by any chance?:D), anyway got told about the 21% so said I'm come back, went over to PCWorld were every laptop is 20% off Vista laptops along with double price reductions.

Got this ACER for a cracking €400 http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2078518884.1256953527@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccddadeijlkejfjcflgceggdhhmdgmi.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=805907&category_oid=

I bought a dell inspiron with an intel Core 2 Duo 2ghz processor, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd, 256mb graphics card and a better battery for €432 including delivery.

Don't understand why no-one seems to bother with the Dell Outlet

From the same page

Furthermore, it has built-in 802.11b/g wireless for Internet access at any WiFi hotspot and a Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired networking.

Stupid DSG making a hash of things as usual.

absolute rubbish.

new laptops get sent from the manufacture or supplier with the software installed. its a matter of getting rid of Vista machines as no-one will want them anymore.

its genuine discounts from PC World, Harveys, DID..etc.

q4 laptops are due out so no need for q3 machines with old software. Everyone is making a loss on these Vista machines with these prices.

Yes of course they come from the manufacture unsold vista laptops get sent back and are just updated and sent back to the shops i can assure you off this. Im not implying that the shop update them.

Rubbish! No PC/Laptop manufacturer accepts old machines to 'update' them and sell them back again. Why are all the electrical retailers selling vista machines and below cost prices at the moment? To get rid of them and free up cash to buy new Windows 7 machines! Because the Sony/Acer/HP etc will NOT be buying them back off the retailers!
