What kind of BT adapter you're looking for? USB?

Peats did have some Canyon bluetooth usbv adapters a while back for about €20 but last time I was in they had none of them. Might be worth checking. They did the job fine.

I got one in Maplin for less then 15 euro recently.

There's €15 ones in Maplin? Didn't think so :S

Maplin are doing one for 32.99 at the moment though....

maplins are wankers for putting their prices up all over the place anyway.

i was going to get an irda usb adapter off them which was in there at €32.99, but they put the price up to €74.99 the day before i went in. feckers even had the cheek to leave the display model at the old price just to rub it in. i tried to cplain but as usual the manaer wouldn't even get off his fat arse to come down and speak to me. just point blank refused and told his scurrying minions to deal with me.

(btw, i know they aren't obliged to sell me anything at any price, but it got on my tits it was so blatantly done).

79.99 for a usb irda adapter? Don't be stupid... there's not been one for that price in the past few months anyhow.

There's one at the moment on promotion for 29.99 (give or take a euro)...

Which Maplins was this anyway?

I have it in my hand..the only reason I bought it was because it was only a couple of euro more expensive then the one on komplett...

Sorry, my bad :$

The 15.99 thing was ment to be a question, about when Maplin did them... as I've never seen them there and I'm in there quiet often.
