    Can someone please tell me why this was worth €200 in first place?

    Not a fan of leccy razors but could be swayed if this is because its brilliant in some way.

    I forgot to add the link in my earlier post saying they should price match with Argos at Currys. Here is the link.

    http://www.currys.ie/content/Instore-Price-Promise/926?utm_source=Banner10&utm_medium=HomepageBanner&utm_campaign=FooterBanner10

    You can see they have Argos in that list. They also state it must be a "Republic of Ireland retail store". What does this mean exactly? Does it mean a retail store in the ROI or that it must be an ROI company? If they dont match against Argos, this would be a very misleading link as they imply they price match against Argos with the tick boxes showing the stores.

    I went to Drogheda to get mine. Before I got there I drove to all the retail parks wondering where on earth Currys was. Phoned my girlfriend to check on their website using the store locator and the nearest one is in Dundalk! What an idiot I am. I was gutted as I was going to secretly record the entire thing on my smartphone as I walked in the store and asked about if they would give me the shaver for about 15 euros or whatever it worked out at with the 10% extra difference.

    As my reservation was in Drogheda, I wouldnt be able to buy it within a 30 miles radius as the stock was gone from the other stores. I just bought it at Argos..... devastated!

    Really sad to learn it only has a two pin plug. Ive 4 toilets at home and not one of them has the light that you plug it into. I have loads of Euro plug adaptors as I used to live in Spain and most of my stuff has Spanish plugs, but it doesnt even fit them properly for some reason. Its charging, but Ive had to use something heavy to hold it in hard enough to make contact.

    Was able to order for collection next week as it is not in stock anymore. But if anyone has made a reservation in any of the Cork stores and have decided they are not going to use it would be great to get it sooner:) (and before the mistake is noted)

    There was a misprice last year for the rip-rider (expensive trike type thing) for €26.99 (around this time of year coincidentally) and they honoured most of the reservations until they ran out of stock.

    Apparently if you speak French and know someone who lives there you can get 20 Euro back too...

    You must be reading it wrong. It says its available for order. You could try ordering it and hope they have it at that price. Its clearly a mistake. Its included in the new Xmas catalogue supplement and its there as 50% off at 99.99.

    Sorry meant 'for order'! Wouldn't hold out much hope for it at that price if they have to order them.

    Never seen that with Argos "Item can be ordered" and it says it can be collected between Saturday and Thursday soooo it's not in the store. :confused:

    Anyway my mother said she might get me and the bro one for Christmas so I saw this and reserved two of them. Saved her €180 :D

    Hmmm...have a reservation on one of these but just can't decide if I should buy it. The thought of shaving without water or shaving cream sounds like a recipe for a face like a slapped arse! Can you not use shaving foam with these at all? Are the wet electric shavers better?

    Nah, I've been using a dry shaver for a while. No problem with them. I've never found a need to shave in a shower. I've simply rinsed mine out under the sink.

    If you decide not to go for it, any chance I could use your reservation :) I can't wet shave / use a normal razor as they rip the face off me. Can only use electric ones.

    My reservation is for Queen's old castle, Cork. I'm leaning towards buying it but if I don't I'll PM you tomorrow, if Cork is any good to you?

    Mine says it will be ready for collection between Saturday and Thursday. Am I to assume that it will be waiting there on Saturday or is that 7 day slot an opening for when a truck might possibly turn up with it. :confused:

    Bit of a pain really because one section of their site says this

    Are we expected to simply wait by the inbox to see IF they have enough to satisfy demand?

    If I don't use it myself (I am leaning towards buying it though!!) and Rael doesn't want it, I'll pass it onto you. The code is until close tomorrow, so if I'm not going to buy it I'll pass the code on tomorrow afternoon.

    Well it will be my poor mother who will find out on Saturday. I reserved them for her to buy me it for Christmas(one for my brother as well). :rolleyes:

    She'll have it out with the manager if they are not there. Glad I won't be there. :D

    I'm in Dublin so Cork isn't good for me :) Thanks for the offer though! If anyone has a code for a city centre location they're not going to use, would be gratefully appreciated.
