Shame on ARGOS lieing about sale prices?


Iv just been searching the argos website to see which items i want are on sale, i also have their catolgue infront of me so that i can just type in the cat. number to the item i want

i was looking at USB Pens, hoping to get them on sale..
and i was shocked that they had them for ''sale'' for the exact Non-sale priced item in the cat.

their catolgue says;
normal price 拢7.99
and their website says; 'sale price 拢7.99 on sale for less than half the price from 拢17.99''

which is a complete lie!!

surly this isnt legal???

I don't know the laws in England but this happens a lot here in the U.S. Its a staple tactic of mall jewlery stores to advertise a particular item thats 50-75% off, but the reality is the base price they are supposedly discounting is simply marked up 50-75%, thus reducing the price to normal but still claiming its a sale price.

if somone complains about argos then they will probably say it was a type-o but they could also be doing it illegally witch is serious, but either way you can get it for 7.99 if you show them your catalogue

thx

No, it isn't legal. Contact your local trading standards department - you can find them on your County Council's website - and give them the details.
