dont knock it!!! it's worth a try...........

You would be suprised by the amount of free stuff i have got from manufacturers. I emailed a company in Australia and told them B&Q have stopped selling a certain light switch, could i order direct from them and they sent me the light switch, free of charge. Worth around £15

XTR u should email kobian.com for me then... i bought a second hand tv card and it came without the remote

i got no reply but they would listen to a hexus reviewer.... or u could ask for a review sample and send em the remote from that, getting urself a free tv card (minus the remote which u can send me

)

Sony? Free? You're having a laugh. I reckon it'll cost you a minimum of £25.

I got a Sony MD walkman from the US about 4 years ago as they cost about 40% less out there at the time. After a couple of months the battery charger died (just a small plastic thing that goes into the wall). As it was an American unit, the warrenty wasn't valid in the UK. I went into my local Sony Centre and asked how much a new one would cost. The guy phoned up Sony and even he was shocked when he got told that a new one would cost £100. Well, the MD player only cost £110 as a whole so I thought "sod that" and wrote them an arsey letter saying how dissapointed I was with them and I'd never buy from them again. As about 4 letters they agreed, out of the goodness of the heart, to reduce the price to £60.

Then I found a universal battery charger in Argos for £6.

Dabs gave me a free Volcano 7+ when all I needed was a replacement cable, and I would say they're more like the first type.

nagh dabs are home grown, they used to have a shop in my home town, was great

**5lab** · 24-09-2003, 03:15 PM
