Which sale booklet is this listed in?

It's apparentely older stock that was in the sale on order number 376 3052 at £34.99....the newer and improved code is 098/6959 and retails at £97.87, but I went into my local store after trying 14 stoures over the phone with no success and the manager there found one in Chester Greyhound Park, spoke to the manager there and they did a price overide for me as they are aware the mistake is theirs...so good luck!

THanks for this. I have actually taken the same path and the assistant at the store was really quite rude and said "Its 97.89 do you want me to reserve it for you or not?" Really rude! SO I said no thanks!

I have found one at a store further away - just waiting to hear back to see if Grandma can pick it up! FX

Does anyone live near the Argos store at Harwich?

If so i have one reserved until tomorrow but cannot pick it up. If anyone wants the reserve number i will be happy to give them it.

Exactly the same happened to me - they had the £98 ones in stock, but not the sale ones and she wouldnt budge on price

Well I just went in tonight after work and collected mine which I reserved a few days ago...

They ARE the new stock there is absolutely no difference as far as I can see and they should have them in stock maybe some stores are trying not to sell them I dunno...

Anyway if you can get one reserved I highly recommend it as it's totally gorgeous the seat is like suede and cord material - even better than it looks. My OH is over the moon with it too

For any of you who are still after this swing - Argos (as far as I can see) has now sorted themselves out and have the swing advertised on its website at the 34.99 but with the ORIGINAL code which is 098/6959

We must have made a difference with our complaining lol as it wasn't on the website at the special price before now
