Argos Chat Thread #1

Mr.Crinklewood

Seems most weeks we have a bargain or two from Argos, thought it might be an idea to have a dedicated forum like the one for Tesco:-

Sound Asleep Pillow - was € 39.99 - now € 11.99

Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker - was €159.99 - now €79.99.

PAC-MAN Remote Controlled Man and Ghost Racers - was € 39.19 - now €19.59

Mod Edit:

If anyone is looking for an item and is looking to check for stock nationwide. Use http://checkargos.com/.

Mod note please read post 352 - here

I know this is 'chat' thread but can we keep it strictly to the items posted in the Argos thread for everyone's benefit.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer and I really appreciate it, but if its ok with you could I as you to donate the few euro to a charity that means something to you I think they could make much better use of than me.

Personally I get a lot out of running the site, It's a great feeling seeing something you've made being used by so many people. Sure it would be nice to make some money from it but I am lucky enough to be in a position where I don't need it to.

Not a problem, fair play to you.

It took a couple of weeks maybe, I first made it just as something to do while I was waiting for a new job to start. After I had a proof of concept up and running I shared the link with people here and they seemed to really like it. I implemented some of the suggestions they had at the time (making the calls ajax for example) and released it publicly, have only done minor work to it in the mean time.

All the code is on my github if you are interested in it, should be in my sig below.

Yeah its run out of my own pocket at the moment, its not overly expensive though. Currently I'm hosting it on a VPS with digital ocean which costs $5 a month and it seems to be well able for the load it gets. The domain is €8 or 9 every year too so all in all it costs about €60 a year or so to run at the moment. I have had more expensive hosting in the past, including two months this year at $50 a month (I let a trial expire ) )

Should setup a couple of ads on it, one above the banner and one at the bottom of the page, I'd click them every time I used the site which has been a lot lately.

Thanks for that. Did you have to go to the customer service?

No, the price was wrong in the system but a manager just overwrote it at the till when he saw the email price

Looks like one of the staff didn't get the memo.

128GB of onboard storage? Price is about right so

Well done though Dan!

dan786

Thanks lads. Certainly a bargain of the year. Did not have to argue with anyone to get it. From years of working in retail, I have learned alot of things, one of them is how make make sure you get the price advertised.

Was in shop for less than 5 mins and walked out with a Macbook for just 110.

Doesn't say if it's an SSD?

Is it?

Gennie Mac it's massively overpriced at original price.

Don't know tbh.

All Apple products are massively overpriced, pretty ridiculous paying over a grand full price for this machine.

Essentially it is an ssd,
More specifically its a flash chip soldered to motherboard.
