Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?

[Rotty]

What do you mean?

Surely if it is reserved, a shop customer can't beat you to it??

it can take staff up to an hour to get it from shelf, if someone gets before you it's bad luck, happened to me several times

Most stores require a staff member to fetch the item and put it to one side.

Argos block the tills from selling it, but PC World etc don't.

Comet? As they are not DSG?

Was there something wrong with my last post?

A few other people in the thread have said it and haven't had their posts deleted.

ok ive paid for a 16GB on currys and the order is in my account page. How long does it normally take for confirmation email?

 

[Robbo]

The manager of PC World is holding mine for me until closing tomorrow, so I'll pick it up then. 16GB.

they will be dealt with when I get chance

 

[spudbynight]

It looks like I will have some excess of these - it all depends on orders going through (not holding my breath) If I do I will stick up on MM at cost price.

 

[shaffaaf27]

but we lvoe you rotty

want a touchpad, on the house?

 

[Tweaker]

I wonder how many there were for sale

 

[Danger Phoenix]

If we buy at full price do you think they will refund the difference afterwards?

 

[Gaygle]

they will be dealt with when I get chance

EDIT:Nevermind

 

[Rotty]

What part of my post was actually against the rules in the FAQ?

offering to buy or sell an item outside of the MM

Will other retailers pricematch?

If you can find them in stock elsewhere?

 

[Tweaker]

Will other retailers pricematch?

They are going to have to, given that all DSG stores are discounting from tomorrow.

 

[Robbo]

Yep. They have one for free sale and 2 being held, one of which is mine.
