    Parrot drone - this is reduced to €85 euro at argos

    amazon reviews are only so-so, but would it be fine as a beginners drone for a young teen?

    Just to ask about this aswell. Has anybody got one of them already? I've been checking out drones lately, how would this be as an entry level option to get used to how they work?

    I had a Parrot Rolling Spider minidrone for a while, and they are fantastically easy to fly. The AR is essentially obsolete compared to what is on the market these days (see threads on DJI and Xiaomi drones for example), but if it is for a bit of fun, and you are not worried about how many pixels your camera has, or how HD it can film, it looks like a great price for it.

    (The Rolling Spider was bluetooth connected, and so light a single gust of wind took it out of control range, rendering emergency stop useless. It rapidly disappeared, but I won it in a contest so I wasn't out of pocket. If you do go for the AR, it is wifi controlled, but still learn the limits of control in a wide open area first)

    There's a rowing machine on the Argos UK website but it doesn't exist on the Irish website. Is it a glitch or is there some products not sold here?

    Search for the Argos product number on the Irish web site to see if it's available. The text search feature on Argos.ie is unreliable.

    But some products just aren't available in the Irish stores.

    Its not great tbh. The missus bought a set just to have a few spare bits and pieces but honestly they are extremely light and the top edges are sharpish i.e. the end that you would be holding. I wouldnt really want to be using the knives in particular for cutting through a decent steak or any food for that matter.

    Waste of a fiver imo.

    Bringing back a TV is hard though. Much easier in a shop where they specifically sell TVs.

    It's €419 in Harvey Norman. They usually give something extra off as well if you ask nicely.

    Pretty sure I say the Echo Dot in Curry's for €39.99.

    EDIT: Actually, website says €44.99 so maybe not.

    I just reserved 2 of the Play-doh sets in the shop I made the original reservation, they are now priced at €10.49(2 for 20). If i go in and show my original reservation email, what are the chances of getting them for the €1.49?

    Check your email that you received. If it has no reservation number, then it was not reserved. This has happened to myself a few times. If there was a number, then it was reserved.

    I'm guessing in this case, no number appeared on the email.

    Bad form if you had it reserved and no cancellation notice tho. I know there was no point of sale but it's bad form with just being told no at the counter. It's a pain in the backside to travel there and be told no.

    True, my boyfriend been there twice since he’s got told to come back the next day. Argos were usually pretty good but since those deals started getting posted on facebook bargain pages and such it’s all changing. On another topic one of those facebook pages with 1000s followers clearly uses price scanner website all the time and then post deals found there as affiliate links-doubt it but hope something goes to the actual creators of price scanner site
