    Littlewoods misprice again? What a shocker :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,893 ✭✭✭j4vier


    is it worth it though

    cant find any info anywhere else

    surely cant compare littlewoods with littlewoods prices !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭ShevY


    not much of a bargain

    http://bfads.net/eMachines-Laptop-with-AMD-Athlon-2650e-Processor-at-Best-Buy

    looks like this one

    sure 299 dollars is about that price in euro

    $299 is €220. So still €40 cheaper than its US equivalent. If you find anything in Ireland cheaper than the US then its a bargain :D

    if you want to see the usual pricing difference between Ireland and the US for laptops, comparing dell is usually a good indicator.

    not bad i dont think for someone starting out, and wants a bigger screen and dvd drive then a net book has to offer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,195 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Depending on the weight, it could be a useful portable laptop.

    Looks like Littlewoods have somebody watching Bargain Alerts, either that or a new system is in place.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭Abelloid


    Boards.ie 'bargain alert' test - passed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 910 ✭✭✭tombull82

    I rang them and they said they WILL send them out, I should have them for Friday.

    Hope so their birthday is next monday

    It doesnt matter anyway i guess if they never honour these misprices, rip off of a site, would never buy anything off them

    code didnt work, and its now out of stock :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭maidhcII


    I took a punt on one of the these for my father. Status updated to "Despatched" a hour or so ago, so looks good.

    Grand price for a basic laptop. Cheers OP.

    Showing "low stock" but not out of stock now. Might be worth another go Agent Smith!

    It shows up as out of stock when you add it to the shopping cart and go to checkout.

    That is lovely, but what did you achieve? You ringing them wasn't going to be the difference between getting it or not, but might have been the difference between other people getting it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,736 ✭✭✭ch750536


    I work for littlewoods in the UK and am responsible for the pricing in both the UK and Ireland.

    From now on I will ensure that 1 item each week is mispriced since this leads to a huge influx of new people to send both snail mail and spam to, which we get paid to do by our sponsors and we get to keep lots of your cash for 3 weeks giving you nothing in return.

    Fantastic cash positive business. Thanyou all on Boards.ie for being our undercover marketing campaign.





    All the above is probably a complete lie

    No I only rang them after they had disabled the items page. So no one was able to order them at that stage anywho!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭brightkane


    back up to 479 now...

    Having had a customers eMachines P.O.S. PC die on me yesterday for no apparent reason I hope nobody gets caught out with these ones.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,565 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    Just arrived, will probably need a bit of memory, but nice laptop.

    Cheers OP.

    Looks like one of the old Dell laptops will be finding a new home..

    :D

    First 2 purchases from Littlewoods, thanks to DJ2 and his posts. (My sister did get a kids scooter off them before, but just because nobody else had the one she wanted)

    The Acer Revo for 189
    The eMachines D620 for 179
    Neither purchase availed of their credit (almost 40% apr :eek: )
    And neither purchase would have been made at the prices they are now. 529 and 429, too expensive.

    So I would be quite happy to purchase from them again(in similar circumstances :)). I am still surprised that both arrived. I am normally the one to miss these deals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭aidole


    Thanks op, mine just arrived too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭carab


    Mine updated to despatched now so looks like I will get it and for €161.10!! Thanks a mil OP :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭alanashe


    Mine was updated to dispatch today, A few minutes ago I got the email saying the order was cancelled due to a price error.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭maidhcII


    Got mine at 9am this morn.

    Ledg. :)
