I know there will be different views on this, but, taking advantage of this purely just to make money from it, twice, is a tad bit selfish and immoral.

Are you familiar with the works of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Fair play man, I might chance my arm when I get the text tomorrow...

Mine isn't due in until Thursday. No call about cancellation.
I tried entering the code yesterday but it said they couldn't find a reservation with that code.
Not sure if it's cancelled or if that's standard before a reservation arrives in store.

I'm sure the OP can make an offer of 1300 to secure the bid.

KevinCavan

Wow it’s back to 1800 now, we’ll done anybody who got one.

Kimbot

If the OP didn't get one, I have one reserved for tomorrow and no real need for it so he can have mine at 799 if they give it to me

Why ?? making a profit of €400-500 when he sells one isn’t enough & he wouldn’t have got either without OP original post
It would be a fairly decent gesture to give OP the option esp that he’s now said he has more reservations due over next day or 2

We live in the real world and that still a bargain.

No luck as in you had a code and they refused the reduced price?

Can someone clarify the following, I reserved one but just got the email notification that it would be in stock on such a day, are people now getting reserved codes when stock is available and some successfully purchasing at reduced price.

RossieMan

Dan has done this before on many different BAs.

Think I'm banned from his adverts for pointing it out previously.

Fairly certain it's the same fella.

It appears that the earlier reservations were the higher a chance someone had of it following through.

In my case I reserved at 8am (ish) on the day of the OP, and got a reservation code informing me that it would be available to collect tomorrow.

Then got the follow up text to go collect.

Others have reported being telephoned by Argos staff and told that their order was cancelled or available at the 1799 price if they still wanted it.

In my case , they (Argos staff) could obviously see that I had reserved at the lower price, and that they had sent me texts confirming same, including one that said my item was ready to collect.

I'd 110% still be going in to Argos if you were lucky enough to get the reservation code at the discounted price, and have received texts that your order is ready to collect.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Reading the thread it seems anyone who has actually pushed back in the store seems to have got one. Did anyone who got refused try pointing out to them that other people have had the reservation honoured and still got refused?

If you got a code, you were likely to get it. The very early birds managed to secure units that were actually in stock so they always had the best chance. The next batch could reserve to collect, got a text message to go and collect. (Dan and co). They did really well.
The rest of us just got an email with the store opening hours, stating that they will "send you a code if you requested" - we were the 3rd group and got no codes or texts to collect.

Anyone in the latter group, in the interest of self preservation, would be advised not to hold their breath.
