    Woolworths 50% sale

    Anyone been to Woolies today? Any real bargains or have they got rid of the good resalable stuff like PS3's, Xbox, Ipod's etc?

    Spotted on another forum that all the PS3 type of stuff is still sky high pricewise, in fact still more expensive than other high st. retailers. Apparently you could get 50% off a toblerone though.

      I hear Currys will be discounting heavily soon. Whether it's a rumour or not we'll have to wait and see but I'll be looking for a BluRay player on the cheap.

      And of course, Tescos start their 50% sale tomorrow...

      Boomed!!!

          I knew it... saved me a trip out in the cold I suppose.

          I expect my toblerone count to be significantly higher this Xmas.

              Just watched the news - they had quoted staff from woolies saying prices hadn't changed since yesterday - they'd just put up closing down sale signs and left the prices.

                There are never any real bargains when it comes to games consoles, the margins on 360 and PS3 are very low already so there is no room for discount.

                The best deals to be had will be more to do with what you get with it rather than what price you pay.

                  Look, they're bankrupt and they have to sell everything. The administrators want to get rid of all the stock at the best price they can get within a set timeframe. They don't want the costs of transporting and auctioning off stock from closed stores; that will lose them money. Hence; ignore the prices, go in and offer what you want to pay. You could even offer to buy 2 of whatever it is at 25 percent of the normal price and have a good chance. Of course, the numpty at the cash desk will refuse, but ask the store manager for your discount. Chances are he’s been told by the administrators to get rid of the stock as quick as possible, and might even be an interim on a bonus according to how little stock is left at the end.

                    Just back from Woolies - queues (to pay) so long I'd never have got home - no real bargains most people in the queue seemed to have a couple of items of tat.
