    Well sharing it with a community who share with each other all the time.

    Not with 10000s of people who stumble upon here and reap the info of boards.ie users to get what they want...then disappear thil they found some other alert.

    That, IMO, is not the spirit of BA.

    Especially when u get people buying/ordering a few from every site mentioned here.

    whats to stop people registering , yaking the info but never contributing..better the way it is now imho

    isn't profiteering banned on adverts.ie?

    OH has spent ages trying to reserve one today to no avail! :mad:

    I just had both models in the basket and refreshed a reserve screen which had the 10 closest shops listed.

    Still no guarantee they'll drop the price, or if they do, may just relist the unclaimed full price ones.

    I dont get what ur saying.

    Just cos they registered for 1 BA, doesnt mean they instantly have the "moral right" to it.

    Saying that, its common on here, 1 decent BA and the majority of the common contributers would probably not get it.
    It would be nice to have a closed forum...just for stuff like that tablet for the common contributers/peeps doing all the research

    Maybe the Argos staff are reading this thread.

    I'm worked up into such a frenzy now that I'll have to have it even at full price!!! :eek:

    And how do you qualify for this? Ridiculous. We all wanted one of these and most of us were disappointed, but some of the reactions are laughable.

    Word from Argos!

    I can say that we are currently reviewing the price of the Touchpad and hope to have a decision within 24 hours.

    I couldn't report the ad for some reason, but I've started a thread on Adverts Support here, hopefully they'll cut this crap out pronto.
