SB3 for £129.99 in PC World

[Ken]

PC World are selling SB3s (SB Classic) for £129.99 using their reserve over the internet and collect in store option.

Here in the West Midlands I had to travel a few miles to Wolverhampton as they had none locally in the Telford store or at Stafford.

Looks like a hard price to beat currently.

I noticed over last weekend that there were none in my local west London PC World - which is unusual.

I reserved 2 (2nd for me, 1 for my father-in-law)from the Selly Oak store....and they only had one when I arrived. Managed to get then to take £10 off the price due to their error, so got it for £119.99.

Amazon UK has them for £134.99

I reserved one in Portsmouth - arrived at the store and they could not find
it - eventually found it 'pre-loved' in the stock room - picked it up for
£99 - in and running - very pleased - my first SB3 in a house full of SB2's.

One of the guys in PC World looked a bit sheepish and said that he thought one of the SB3's had been used in the back office, but it wasn't there anymore....

So - how about some Sunday evening idle speculation ... does this mean that PC World (UK) are trying to clear the stocks to:

make way for a new model
or
dropping the device
or
something else

I think that they convention they tend to use is the price ends with .97 when it is to be finally removed from the inventory.

I reserved one in portsmouth too... they phoned just as i was pulling into the carpark to tell me they couldn't find it in stock and the closest pc world that had any was on the isle of wight! I got back on the internet, reserverd one at hedge end (much closer) and picked it up.

The PCW order and collect service is shocking. Not only could they only find one out fo the two ordered, but instead of being put away for collection, it was still on the store shelf. They had a look at where else I could get an SB3, and suggested that I drive to Sutton....I was very calm with my reply )

My guess is that the Duet is on it's way in...

Yeah, thats my guess too.

I was in the Merry Hill (Dudley) branch yesterday and spotted 2 SB3s on the shelf.
