    I went into the Jervis branch yesterday to buy a Galaxy S6 which was on sale at 570 but when I got to till it only cost me 400. Dunno if it was a glitch in their system or what but might be worth checking out!

    What does it do a phone half the price can't?

    What does it do a phone half the price can't?

    What does a dearer car do? or dearer clothes?

    400 for an S6 is an unreal price.

    It does it better.

    It gets people with a cheaper phone to ask "What does it do that my phone can't do?"

    The Galaxy s6 was never that price in Argos, Are you sure they didn't sell you a galaxy s4 for €399.95 instead?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,666 ✭✭✭Pink Fairy


    I know its slightly dated, but the LG G3 is down to €289, for that price its a bargain, they're being sold second hand for that and more

    Thanks for this, got one in Ilac for 399.95. S6. Must be a glitch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,196 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I'm on my way into Argos in about 1 hour and reserved one in white. I'll chance my arm at the self service machine and if not €400 worth a shot for herselfs Christine present.

    Do you have a cat number for this? I just reserved one in Clonmel but its an S6 at 559.95? Is this the same phone

    391/6847 - I got the black one, but checked the others and were the same.

    I went to self service checkout - when I went to the pay screen the price was 399.95


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭manu2009


    Just tried this in Galway with both white and black and it didn't work to save anyone the trip there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,196 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Just got it in linerick in white. 399.95 with 10 gift card.

    Cant attach PIC, too large but 32gb white. Damn machines were out of order but two tills showed reduced price. Kept my mouth shut.

    Thanks so much for that. Just got one in Clonmel - I had reserved two because I thought the first one I reserved wasn't the same number as above, so I have a reservation number for Clonmel if anyone wants it, just pm me. Guy in argos said it was the bargain of the century. I'm absolutely delighted.

    I had cash and a card so the girl at customer services took my payment, and it was still 399.95 and I got a €10 gift card back as I had spent over €100, bargain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,196 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Bought the only white in childers road and said heck and went back and bought the black one as well. You should have seen how angry my wife is.

    Used the first €10 voucher against second device.

    Now to sell my honor 7

    It gets people with one S6 to ask "What do two S6s do that my S6 can't do?"

    :pac:

    Should I have got a €10 off voucher for spend over certain amount? (Phone was 400)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,739 ✭✭✭nava

    Yes, when you spend over €100 you should get €10 voucher, more info here If you didn't get any you should go back to the store, Sometimes the voucher could be printed at then end of the receipt others you get a gift card.

    Bollix, I'll have to go back, hopefully they won't cop, but I suppose they cant do much after the sale is complete


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 32,286 Mod ✭✭✭✭The_Conductor


    I think they've copped- I've tried reserving- its coming up at full price.

    It reserves at full price, you go to the paypoint and you're only charged 399


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,196 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    In store computers says full price buy till.said lower price. I used my first voucher towards the second device.

    I bought a his n hers which is why I bought two. I'm sure they will continue to drop in price anyway but sub €400 is good and I get an €8 per purchase from aib credit card for that amount spent. Cheaper again. Score.
