    Re: News - UK TouchPad fire-sale confirmed

    I was in glasgow today, checked John Lewis, no joy, Argos, out of stock (ie reserved) but still full price, Currys....2 x A4 prints on the door saying "We don't have any HP touchpads in stock"

    I'd have loved to have a play with one for £89

    Re: News - UK TouchPad fire-sale confirmed

    Argos is the best (only?) bet at the moment - keep checking iStockChecker, reservations ARE becoming available constantly as people's expire.

    I've just had mine extended via @ArgosHelpers on twitter so looks like I may be in luck depending on when/if they drop the price - took about an hour to get it sorted (20 min after my tweet to get them to follow me, then 40 min after my DM before they confirmed it).

    Of course no guarantees still but best bet at the moment..

    Five and a half hours after they got my details they have done nothing. I suspect they must have mates in the local store or something like that.


    Edit!!

    I was wrong it was six hours!!

    Re: News - UK TouchPad fire-sale confirmed

    I got a message back from Argos saying my reservation couldn't be extended, stupid store closes at 17:30 in my area, much earlier than others

    Oh well, at least I have a better possibility of scooping up an awesome deal for the HP Pre3.

    Re: News - UK TouchPad fire-sale confirmed

    Now they said that it has been extended and they sent a tweet earlier.That is BS as there was no tweet.

    It would have been far simpler if HP had just told retailers to drop the price on a particular day and allocated all the stock they could for that day.

    Re: News - UK TouchPad fire-sale confirmed

    You lucky bastard, I do agree it would of been easier that way but that would require logical thought...

    Is there anyone that has an extra TouchPad?*Looks at Jasp* I know Raven's extra one has been claimed, if it actually comes that is.

    Roll up, roll up - who wants a reservation code for a tablet in an Argos in Kent? (Expires tomorrow night, will need extending).

    So, who loves me?

    This offer is only available to Hexus members with over 50 posts.

    I don't want the reservation code, I'd like the product. I can't fetch something in Kent... However I'll ask Argos to extend the reservation and pay for petrol/postage if you planned on fetching the TouchPad and mailed it to me

    You know who to PM if you get them and don't have a home for one, or two

    Re: News - UK TouchPad fire-sale confirmed

    I'm on a business trip at the moment, so not a real amount of time to look for one of these, otherwise I would of went down the shops today! Although I did put down a argos reservation yesterday, but this is the only communication i've got on it:-

    Thanks for shopping at Argos.co.uk. If you requested it, we'll also send your reservation number by text.
    Please remember that these items have not yet been paid for. Please quote your reservation number at the store.


    The following items were not purchased
    HP TouchPad WiFi - 16GB.
    £349.99


    Out of stock


    would of liked one... But its not the end of the world anyways. meh.

    Fair enough, very thoughtful of you. Too bad I live in Surrey.

    I would love this if it's actually true! Although I must admit I did just register on this forum because of it, which kinda shows how much I would like one. But also shows how cheap I am
    Anyway, if you do have a code and would be kind enough to let me have it, then I'd be very greatful

    As much as I'd love to give it to you, I need to see if any of the other members would like it first. If nobody claims it, it's yours.

    Understood. I do know I'm being a bit cheeky. So if there are others out there you feel more deserving then by all means go for them
