So no one has bothered to ring them yet. Is this the best move?

any shop can refuse to sell any item to anyone, then take the goods off the shelf, correctly price them, then see if the customer wants to buy them.

we used to pay scally kids half a pasty to go into EB and put price stickers from the shit games on the expensive games

never got caught either, apart from a mate trying to buy Resident Evil 3 for four quid when it had only just come out, haha

iamnoiseporn · 2009-04-28, 15:42:37

just spoke to them bit shady but they're refunding my fiver and said there's no way they'll be sending out free decks to everyone!

That's why we had pasty fuelled disadvantaged middlemen :D

If they weren't hungry you could always give them 'Ends up on yer Lamby'.

e-talking · 2009-04-28, 15:57:35

pasty fuelled disadvantaged middleman !!!! brilliant, deffo a band name or summat in the making.

Just me then... ;)

Right here's the plan, we all apply for a job there, someone gets it then stays on afterhours and dispatches all our orders.

LSMitchell · 2009-04-28, 18:01:48

richmanu did you phone up before getting the dispatch email?

upandatom · 2009-04-28, 18:44:13

i got the dispatch email, and then the please call us one...

LSMitchell · 2009-04-28, 18:54:33

oright, so its not necessary to call back then if people still get the dispatch emails. waiting/blind hoping game from now on then.

Digital Glasses · 2009-04-28, 19:12:37

But in not calling you may not get your fiver back...

AS IF it's gonna happen.

I've received two 'call us' emails...

LSMitchell · 2009-04-28, 19:23:23

yeah good point, i did email back saying i had no access to a telephone so could they please communicate by email instead. 20 quid for me in the channel islands so heres hoping they dont just ignore me.

I didnt think it would really work, but even if there was the slimmest chance, i was in! Sure if everyone had got them, and they had been automatically dispatched then I would have been quite gutted if hadnt. Sure there wasnt really much to loose, except maybe a fiver lol!!

Rubicon · 2009-04-29, 07:21:04

And your dignity.

Mat Payne · 2009-04-29, 12:53:40

On a somewhat related note, I just bought a 1210 Mark 2 from Cash Generator in Manchester for FIFTY QUID! They're selling all the decks off at stupid prices, sadly I bought the only 1210 they had, but they have some Numark Direct Drives and some other bits of tat for 40 pounds or less....

Young Gun · 2009-05-02, 16:09:38
