Big pricing error on argos today, there is no stock anywhere for any of it, really hope there are not the usual 15-20 new threads on bargain alerts saying there is a €25 laptop, no there isn't just a a whole load of click bait. We need a nothing to see here gif.

psychozeb · 14-09-2017 8:00am

That mobility scooter for €17 would be some craic.

as.eirinn · 14-09-2017 8:40am

yeah ,pricing errors seem only to occur on single items.,when it's everything i relax, take a deep breath...then feverishly panic, go through every single one until I realise argos is wasting my time, still, you never know, just maybe ; )

flangemeistro · 14-09-2017 9:07am

Argos.ie is down. Probably doing damage control after all this morning's price glitches.

Bazzy · 14-09-2017 9:14am

was hoping i could roll in on me mobility scooter to collect a macbook air charger and new nokia phone

flangemeistro · 14-09-2017 9:26am

Argos.co.uk is down also. Did they have the same misprices?

Wheety · 14-09-2017 9:43am

Those percentage savings on pricescanner.ie

The price chart for the mobility scooter:

Would these misprices be in store...

Skelet0n · 14-09-2017 2:38pm

If you do get one of these and the money leaves your account, can they legally still cancel?

IvoryTower · 14-09-2017 3:17pm

went to the shop today and it says its closed due to system malfunction or whatever

That's a bit extreme......?

yep

DANNY2014 · 14-09-2017 4:02pm

Are all stores closed...

maxiiim · 14-09-2017 4:12pm

They fixed argos.co.uk
We rescanned it on www.scanprice.co.uk

Still same mistakes - looks like a big issue they have

In the tradition of bargain alerts I reserved 25 of them as I'm building a wall in the back garden.

juneg · 14-09-2017 8:49pm

I take it nobody got any of these items did they?

I got 10 laptops. Then realised I already had a laptop so they're now on Adverts for less than the RRP.

It will probably reopen as www.arg.osie

Shame, I was looking for an i7 laptop for around the €18 mark and was willing to go the extra 99c..

I have a series 3 42mm Space Grey Apple Watch reserved in Mahon Point. The price is showing €99.
If anyone close by wants the reservation code I will send it on,with one condition, please let me know if they honor it as I have another one reserved in a store (slightly) closer to me & will go for a drive tomorrow if it works.

How much of a saving is this? Is there any more available for reservation?

€409 is what it should cost. The prices of most Apple watches are messed up on argos.ie at the moment, you might find another cheap one in stock with a bit of searching.

ibFoxer · 22-09-2017 8:51pm

Anyone have a reservation in Limerick they don't want??

dunworth1 · 23-09-2017 2:40am

i highly doubt that they will honour that price

TireeTerror · 23-09-2017 6:23pm

OMG when is this page going to be update and we find out if you got the watches for 99 or not.....

Just back after nearly an hour of an argument.
Their system wouldn't recognise the reservation number or the catalogue number so the manager had to ring head office who told her she cant sell it because it's not released in the UK yet so it hasn't been added to their system.

Nothing was mentioned about the price or that it was an error but they said they'll Push out my reservation till the 2nd of October and ring when it's released.

I don't think it's going to happen.

TireeTerror · 23-09-2017 7:30pm

fingers crossed for you. Its such a buzz when these things work out!

I didn’t try to get one as the price updated on website yesterday morning. Wasn’t worth driving to Limerick for a slim chance of success. I do have 3 more reserved for next weekend, I tried reserving for Wexford store but they all ended up reserved in Arklow for some reason. I should get a text when they arrive in store...

You mean Apple watch?

ffocused · 28-09-2017 6:48pm

I got texts that said “Apple Watch dummy 33” is ready to collect in Arklow.
I reckon they flagged the error last weekend & sent out dummy display watches instead.

Zombienosh · 02-10-2017 12:54pm

Well this is a bargain?

I'd say there's something fishy going on with this!

I'd cast doubt on that bargain. Seems reely expensive and might catch someone out.

Seems to be some stupid price on mobile site- but java version is 24.99
It looks sort of cute- but even at the 24.99- its not exactly a compelling purchase- read the reviews from previous purchasers.

Guys- anyone who is buying these- they are not compliant with HAP housing rules, nor are they acceptable under house insurance, as an alarm. These are for peace of mind- but they are not a replacement for a formal alarm system.

I saw something about it from years ago when I googled it, but I wasn't aware it's been a continuous offer. Thanks.

marcbrophy · 03-10-2017 4:37pm

While the code is one that has been used over the course of many years, it's not always valid. It's just used during certain promo cycles!
