    I have 2 codes for Clonmel Argos, not sure if that helps anyone.

    I'm sure this has come up before, but is reserving large numbers of consoles via a bot script the right thing to do?

    Yes, some people here will likely end up getting them and will be delighted - however you will prevent other non-Boards users from being able to reserve the consoles themsevles.

    It's not a bot script, I'm checking for availability manually. Anyone sitting at home checking stock at their local Argos has as much chance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,875 ✭✭✭JDxtra


    I'm OK with stock checking scripts - but not OK with reserving multiple consoles without any personal need for them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 606 ✭✭✭NeoRox


    If one turns up for Wexford add me to the list please.

    Thing is, people who get codes here for other boardsies, are doing a favour to actual gamers. And if codes won't find homes here ( which is unlikely ), the stock goes back to circulation. Its not the same as some bastard scooping up 4 consoles and throwing them on ebay for twice more then he payed.

    Yes, the heads up that Argos stock is available is welcome. Then after that, I think it's best to leave it to the luck of the draw who gets it.

    I know this is not done for any gain (other than a simple thanks) but reserving multiple consoles will disappoint other gamers who are equally deserving of a fair chance to get one. They just happen to be gamers who are not aware of this thread.

    ...and I don't expect anyone to agree with me! Just my opinion. :)

    Well I would just like to add that I pre ordered the X through gamestop, unfortunately I didn't get a console allocated to me, it was for my son's Christmas present, it's all he has been talking about.

    I basically spent all weekend checking Smyth's, argos etc to no avail, it was breaking my heart that I may have to try and explain to him that Santa may not be able to get the xbox after all.

    Basil then came toy rescue with a code for argos in carlow which I picked up today.
    So once again thank you very much basil!

    Or maybe Basil is stopping scalpers taking the available Xboxes and making sure people who'll actually use the console is getting them.

    That's great news and I'm always one for Boards users helping each other. But reserving multiple consoles is beyond the spirit of this unwanted reservations thread. It's possible some equally deserving other customer has now missed out despite checking around as hard as you have.
