Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - €30.99 (or potentially FREE upgrade if you own 2nd Gen)

Basq · 16-11-2018 10:19am #1

So, a little tip for ye this morning..

Argos are selling the Echo Dot 3rd Gen for a very reasonable €30.99.

https://m.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?searchTerms=Echo%2520dot

But if you own a 2nd Gen, CEX will currently give you €31 for A condition (now you'll need original box for that price) or €27 for B condition (no box).

So, potentially free or €4 depending if you've box or not.

No it ain't. Postage is free. They add it on and take it off at the end. Total is £25.61(tad more due to difference in VAT) which is 28.86 for 3rd gen delivered.

Just saw that there was the free delivery option. Either way I'm okay paying a couple of euro more to just pop down tonight and get it.

Raoul · 16-11-2018 11:32am

Are these good?

Liamalone · 16-11-2018 11:45am

Someone told me that they are £25 in Tesco also

Marhay70 · 16-11-2018 11:53am

Where's the option to trade in. I don't see it in that link?

I didn't bother.. I've nothing too valuable on there.

I would imagine they'll do it for you but you can potentially unlink it from Amazon account.

EDIT: Yep, I "deregistered" the device on Amazon there,

s8n · 16-11-2018 1:53pm

great find OP

Grumpypants · 16-11-2018 2:29pm

Amazon have a few bundle deals too. Get a smart plug for £9.99 when you buy an echo dot, or you can get a Dot plus the Philips Hue and 2 bulbs bundle for £59.99. I was going to go for it but it's screw bulbs not the normal ones so it would have limited use in my house.

Just got two dots for upstairs.

I assume the speaker now plays music, unlike the old dot that needed an external speaker.

They've always played music as far as I'm aware..

dubladdie · 16-11-2018 4:07pm

Thanks OP,

I didn't have an Echo Dot.

I bought a brand new White 2nd gen in Argos for €24.99, for a Grade A white I got €37 in CEX - €12.01 profit

So I got the 3rd Gen €30.99 - €12.01 = €18.98

Nice find but title is a bit misleading. Its not potentailly free if you have to hand in your current 2nd gen device. Free upgrade maybe.

Can you just walk into CEX and sell your old 2nd gen Dots?

Chardee MacDennis · 16-11-2018 6:01pm

I have a reserve code in blanch if anyone wants it. Decided to go with a Google Home Mini.

Weirdly.. first time I've walked in from street and just handed me cash outright. No testing needed!
