Edinburgh Bike sale on, some deals on ?

They had a cheap specialized prevail... Well £80 so about half price, I'm waiting a few days for stock but should be worth it.

I've just bought the Cateye Volt 300 for £25, (I think that's better than I'd seen it at previously), now I just need to get the rear one at a bargain price.

I found an email today in my Spam folder saying sorry no stock!

Found a pair of RR3 mountain bike trainers in Decathlon down from £29.99 to £5.

Took them to the till, the girl assured me they wouldn't ever be marked down that low and that a member of staff would never handwrite a reduction as they only use labels. I went for a coffee. Came back, decided to make a point. I found a host of other handwritten mark downs and asked who's handwriting it was. The guy in the cycle dep confirmed that their label maker was broken and they've been handwriting labels. A further discussion with a manager and he stated that they don't handwrite labels. I said that leaves 2 options, either someone is walking around the shop writing them and hanging them back up or else I did it. I asked did he think someone was writing labels and hanging them up, he said so. I asked what that left. Never going back to thon place. The trainers are brutal looking but thought at a fiver I could stomach them.

So a great deal which isn't a deal.

Why cheers dude.

I'm not prepared to be humiliated by more than one staff member. The guy in the cycling department though, he was spot on. Thanks for your input.... Champ

Shops are not obligated to sell you anything at the mistaken price. So irrespective of them making a mistake. You still made a tit of yourself.

I bought one a few years ago and found it crap. No better than a cheap lumex 20.

I fully understand that, you're not telling me anything that isn't common knowledge. It was not the fact that they wouldn't stand by the price, it was the clear intimation that I was attempting to deceive the sales assistant by hand writing my own reduced labels. I wasn't prepared to walk away with someone regarding me as deceitful and a thief. A tit perhaps, but one with integrity and honesty.

Well turns out it was a bargain. Thanks to the customer service manager online, Decathlon provided the trainers free of charge as an apology for my in store experience. Picked them up at lunch time there.

I haven't really been paying attention but it seems like you've still now got something in your house that you didn't want.

Awk na. I wasn't specifically looking clip ins but at the knocked down price I thought I'd give them a go. They'll definitely get used don't worry about that.
