    Seems like it's in stock in Sligo at the moment if anyone is nearby (if anyone feels like getting me one as well I'll pay the postage!).

    Just a heads up...

    Halfords are feckers for doing this sort of thing constantly.

    They drop the price to nothing on an item that is end of line and there is normally just a hand full of the items available across the country and it looks like it a brilliant bargain which only a few people actually get to buy.

    If you go back through the halfords bargain alerts on here for dirt cheap items and same on hukd you will see mostly very very few people actually get the item in the end.

    This is an argos tactic too. Frustrating for a bargain hunter though... :)

    I dont generally seek these "bargains" out unless I know I will be near and want and it happens to be in the first/nearest store I could visit, unless I can definitely book it . It puts me off a place, I think the idea is, you might settle for one of the lesser bargains, will still feel you got something, and the store has made a few quid it wouldn't have made normally.
