I also hope the one we put on the counter to show customers didnt get sold, that is my monitor on my desk in the purchasing office!

Otherwise I will have to take monday off work to recover.

I saw a guy walk out with that one

Absolutely unsmegging believable

WHAT TIME WAS THIS?

8.20 = non left

As I said, half 12. Nobody wanted to or had the time to change it on the system so DGM monitors, more than the original 10, were still going out at £199. Guess I got really lucky. Not saying that somebody didn't change it later but I posted it up on the forums as soon as I could so I hope some other ocuk forum members got one in the afternoon for £199

Well, you can't really be jealous if you didn't take the monitor to the till and expected to pay the £299 like Greebo did...

It was not a proper sale, it was an error which they didn't have the spare time to correct. Despite the error on the system, I think OcUK was amazing for honouring more of that monitors at that price.

When you asked, it had sold out for the special offer to be valid. If you had gone up and tried to get one anyway at the slightly higher reduced price then you would have got it. The staff wouldn't have known it was still scanning at that price, stop being petty

Not lied to, it was a shop error as has been said. I was quite prepared to hand oiver £299 so got lucky that they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it still showing at £199.

That would be Vahid! One of our guys from Caseking!

I didn't see the purple shirt website up, probably comparing prices.

You got 3 bacon sandwiches!? Who allowed that?

I have a photo of the guy who rode off with his new monitor balanced across the tank of his bike. Epic points for effort there.

fiveub · 10 Nov 2012 at 18:21

Hey that focus is my car, on a bike... I like his style!

pecnarf · 10 Nov 2012 at 18:24

I think it was to stop the riot with the queueing times. I had a cheeseburger and a suasage s/w and still brought a ticket home.

A 125cc too. Looks like a chunky fella, bet that thing won't do more than 55mph with him on it.

Still, props.

Edit, and no offense intended to chunky folk.

Ethermaster · 10 Nov 2012 at 18:35

I wonder who that was? I bet mr pc plod would have liked a word or two if they saw him lol, epic style tho!

vodkacokebloke · 10 Nov 2012 at 18:35

come on bike guy - unmask yourself and claim a free mug from OCUK (maybe)

Greebo · 10 Nov 2012 at 18:40

It was the fact he spent 10 minutes trying different locations in front of 300 people was the funniest.

In his rucksack on his back? No wont fit.

Held by the side with one hand..........decided not a good idea

Balanced on handlebars........decided he couldn't steer

Ended up with it wedged on the fuel tank.

Loads of people took videos, surprised none have been uploaded here yet.

He got a cheer when he drove off.

I'm just glad he didnt get a 27" dgm monitor!

vodkacokebloke · 10 Nov 2012 at 18:41

duct tape around the body would have been my plan
