I'm very annoyed. I bought the above item in December 2007 for a Christmas present for my son. I paid £79.99 for it.

Now Argos are selling it for £19.99, that's £60 cheaper!

Has this ever happened to you? Did you complain and if so what was the outcome?

Re: Very annnoyed.
 

How can you complain? Things lose value over time, even short spaces of time like that.

Don't cars lose a couple of grands worth of value the moment they leave the showroom? Least they didn't put the price dont the moment you left the shop, maybe then i'd complain but not likely :p

The toy looks ace though at least, I hope he's got a lot of use out of it.

Re: Very annnoyed.
 

I wouldn't have thought complaining would do any good to be honest. That's why I was asking if anyone ever has done so and if it got them anywhere.

Damn frustrating though.

Re: Very annnoyed.
 

That is one consolation. It is something that he really enjoys playing with.

I bought a computer in 1996 and it cost me £1000. I notice you can now buy a much better one for around £250!!!

Is there any way I'd get a refund?

Re: Very annnoyed.
 

I don't think you have grounds to complain as it's the same as any other goods being sold at knock-down prices after Christmas. Argos shows the original price in the description and I'd guess they over-estimated how many they would sell and have been left with a few on their hands. It is galling, though, I agree.

Maybe we should celebrate Christmas in February.

I bought this 2 months ago, not 12 years ago.

I once bought Mick a gold chain from there and the next day was the start of the free gift voucher wys £50 and £100 i asked if they would give me the voucher or do they want me to refund the item and buy it again the next day so i could have the voucher. They went off the talk to the manager and came back and gave me the voucher!

If you dont ask you dont get.!

Re: Very annnoyed.
 

So? You cant expect it to be priced £79.99 forever.

The item was reduced sixty pounds in under two months! She has ever right to be fuming!
