Explained that to BigPink in a PM.

Don't worry I'm not been greedy

That's cool of ya...

Just checking, don't want to see it on Adverts in an hour or two.... :P

Big thanks to long_b for his one for my friend earlier, they honoured it after a bit of back and forth with the manager....

A pint gladly on me if you ever go to beers...

Ah no worries at all.

I don't want to see them ending up there either. There's a lot of people looking so if anyone can actually save a few Euro and will use it themselves it's great and in the sport of BA.

He said he did earlier yep. I would have taken it but have no transport this evening to collect.
Black Friday sale guys, that's the next shot at a Christmas bargain.

I think a mod might have to look at locking this thread, starting to get out of hand with request for reservation codes and the offer is no longer available.

Couldn't believe the other poster after his "ending up on adverts/done deal" post to err sell his on Adverts and weasel away the profit...

i have a code reserved in one of the stores, it was passed to me by another boards user, but unfortunately the guy forgot to select the 2 free game in the special offer tab, I phoned the store to get the code extended an that was okay, but the girl pointed out that the games where not included as they were not selected at the time of booking.

its a 2 hour drive each way, what are the chances if been able to pres-wade the sales girls tomorrow., slim and none i thinks

I think someone earlier posted the same and just asked could be included at the till, said they forgot to add it when reserving the PlayStation, and had them added then.

Is it the same guy?

RobbingBandit · 30-09-2016 07:11PM

Anyone with a code that let's it expire rather than passing it on here bad karma will be upon you.

No idea tbh, says Mayo so I assume if someone from Mayo on here snapped it up...

Sure give him a ring... :P

I noticed they stole every single photo of second hand PS4s that other people out up...

Bad enough stealing the deal, (and being the Grinch that stole Xmas!) but stealing other people's photo's?

Won't somebody please think of the children? :P

I reckon a few not collected may reappear on Argos about now and after 9, some stores shut at 7, some 9, a few more may slip back into the wild...

What a fu*king dope.

His first sentence

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging

Then 4 out of 6 pictures are of the PS4 on the floor, table or window sills!

Ethabelle79 · 30-09-2016 07:24PM

Have code for 1tb Lego Star Wars and Fifa for Argos Letterkenny. Reserved until close tomorrow.

Code gone

Gumbo · 30-09-2016 07:25PM

500gb slim version with FIFA 17 for €299 on Argos if it interests anyone.

No point being missed - it doesn't take 50 people to express their disappointment with his actions and turn the thread into a flame fest. Luckily your "community minded" (oh the irony - that means those who agree?) opinion is something that I'll treat with the esteem it deserves. Take a walk yourself pal.

I'll not respond after this because the thread is being dragged down to nothing- I'll leave it at this: you're entitled to your opinion, and I'd never think to take take that away from you, or anyone. In turn, I'm entitled to mine. And my opinion is that anyone who would use a thread like BA, that is specifically purposed for ordinary folk to grab an item at a substantial discount, to turn a profit deserves nothing less than the community shunning them. It is absolutely scandalous- to reserve 3 or 4 of the same item around the country, and to then purchase those items and mark them up for selfish greed while there's folks crying out for them, and in a lot of cases it might be the only way they can afford to treat their kids or partner, is utterly disgusting.

Simultaneously, anyone who would defend that type of action, and claim to be a boardsie, should really look to their own character because being party to that ideal is abhorrent.

You and I may disagree on this and that's fine- you may not see just how bad the actions of these profiteers is, and how it really makes BA nothing but a hunting ground for vultures, but I dare say that there's plenty more folk here who agree with my ideals than yours, so no thanks, I'll not do one, I'll stay happily content where I am.

He copied & pasted from an ad on ebay. Likely Argos UK on ebay as they have theirs incorrectly marked as NTSC.

€400 :eek: what is this guy on? Does he think their are no ps4's at all left. The slim is available pretty much everywhere for €300 notes.
I taught profiteering was against adverts rules.

I'll not say outright that Adverts don't care, and I'm open to correction, but it appears that the powers that be are happy to let this kind of bo**ocks happen as long as they get their slice.

picked one up this morning, thanks to a fellow boardie on here. When I asked where fifa17 was they said it was gone out of stock. But in the end they agree'd for me to come back next week when its in stock and get it for free.

MilesMorales1 · 30-09-2016 07:34PM

They changed the rules (adverts) about profiteering a while back didn't they, so now its all fair game on there, which is rubbish.

Doesn't matter. They've taken down the pages for these ps4s.

spongbob · 30-09-2016 07:37PM

did you have the games originally reserved I wonder? the other boardsie member told me he forgot to reserve them yesterday, so chances are i will be just getting the machine on its own.

Just a bad copy and paster...

Sure they copy other people's photos, I'm sure he copied the description...

Here here ibFoxer, well said. I only came across the BA thread lately and it seems like a great idea, just a shame that extreme bargains bring the vulture resellers. To be honest, the number of resellers wouldn't have been as bad if everywhere dropped the price of phat ps4.
