I think you're underestimating the price of scarp. It's one of the rarest elements in the universe. Some say it doesn't even exist

Guess your school has broken up early for the summer.

Sorry about not putting refurb in the title, I wasn't trying to deceive anyone, I have edited the title now.

I convinced myself (and the missus) that I needed one and have just got back from picking one up. £143.99 for the New Super Mario Bros. U version. It doesn't look like it's ever been opened, though it does have a refurbished sticker with the Argos code on, on the side of the box.

I cannot pick one up for 3 reasons -

1. Stanley is a fair way away from me and I've just done 2 trips.
2. My credit card is already crying blood.
3. The missus would violently remove parts from me which I deem to be essential.

Voted hot - mainly to counteract the moron who's voting cold because he doesn't like the price of £20 coins or some such nonsense.






(Actually, I mainly voted hot because it looks a good deal, but don't tell the negative kid...)

Just asked them about the console. So must be the Nintendo land one

Just called them. Price is now 145. They still have few left

Thanks for the quick reply

HUKD is not the website it once was - it is now more about slagging off the OP, demanding proof of purchase otherwise the OP is labelled as some sort of compulsive liar and generally rubbishing both the deal and those posting on the thread.

Anyway - great deal if you live locally and can take advantage of this. H+

Do you know how many were there ?

Lol! You bitter little man.

ok - i really didnt want one until i read this thread... ffs @ HUKD! - lol

is the wii u softmoddable?

Any of these shops around birmingham?

not every single deal, just deals I think don't deserve the heat they recieve, i'm not the only one and the fact is i'm entitled to my opinion and will continue to do so

I never understand posts like this. If you have no interest in the deal or its not in your area, just move on. I don't understand the compulsion to look at every single deal in such extraordinary detail & question it's validity just because you can't take advantage of it.

Sorry Gamemonster, this is an instore only deal, and as far as I'm aware Clearance Bargains don't have a website. I found this deal at the Stanley store in the North East, though I'm aware that there is another store in Walsall, I don't know if they are having a similar sale.

Good luck,

Grim.

the link is not working?

Sorry! We've had a problem with the link you've just selected.

To start shopping, please visit the Argos homepage by clicking on the link below.

Go to the homepage

maybe it's not in degrees C...would that make you more happy?

Maybe if you think some deals are getting too much heat, you should get in touch with the mods and inform them that all deals must be ran past you to decide when they have reached a maximum allowed number of positive votes.

Super deal! Have some heat :smiley:

i would have the basic £120 system just to replace my gamepad(would you believe thieves stole the gamepad but left the actual wii u,leaving my wii u unit and that gamepad almost inoperable.)

A good deal? Yes, but a 1koC worthy deal? No, however try telling that to the people on here who vote hot even before anyone other then the op has been able to take advantage of it.

when the stock runs out the deal will be expired.

simples

why though, when theres a limited ammount of people actually going for it/getting it

for alls we know this is a 1 off nothing more with 1 store having stock, do they have more stock for the next 20-50 people, I doubt it

Will continue to recieve heat regardless whether there is more stock, like someone posting the reduced stuff from asda/tesco

Didn't realise I had to make a purchase to vote hot on a deal...in fact I'm pretty sure you don't actually.

Therefore, even with local, limited stock any deal posted can reach this heat as long as HDUKers consider it a good price.

Fair enough, it's just one of those things about this site that doesn't make sense.

Well I haven't been on HUKD properly since December...so maybe not a rock as such, maybe a pebble...

Still though, that doesn't really answer my question.

£120 for a refurb wii u. lol

Can someone please explain to me why this local deal is so Hot? It's a cracking price and I wish I could buy it but I mean 837 people can't have ALL gone to Stanley...right?

freezing

Terrible console.

Picked up a Nintendo land bundle around 7 o'clock looks brand new still a few left on the shelf, was hoping for a Mario bundle but none left, still a few lego bundles left tho.

Also had quite a few of the Wii U pro controllers @ £25 which was a very good deal so picked one of those up too, then had to pick Mario Kart 8 up on the way home lol.

Also a few refurbished PS4s at £299 in a plain white box with an extra 20% off also a good deal.

Thanks Op just emptied my wallet lol

Cheers

Sean

This was WAY after I posted the comment in this thread, I am not having an altzheimers moment.

Good spot. I was only messing as I was reading the same thread earlier and saw his posts.

The coin fella needs to get a grip :laughing:

Still two in stock as of 7:55 tonight. The bundle which IMO was better value had just sold out so gave it a miss but cheers for the heads up.

Could probably get lost in there (got lost on the way, bloody sat nav) with the amount of TVs etc to browse through if I'd had more time. Picked up a motion plus add on for a fiver.

Look at the time stamp on the posts, the posts at RoyalMail thread was made almost an hour after he posted that comment. :wink:

I have to agree with his comments, just because someone mark your deal as spam is no excuse to try to do the same to others.

Great story, thanks for justifying your absurd statement.

how long does the pad last on this?

Heat added. There's probably 5 with lego city left on the shelf, maybe 3 or 4 with nintendoland, but no super mario bundles left.
Make sure you check the contents, the one I had opened had no game in the box.

Ahem... *cough* ...... read post #12 and 14 .... *cough*

:wink:

heat

hukd hell? Harsh...

I got one with the lego game today. I had the girl open the box up and looks new. Price with discount was £143.99 and full 12 month warranty.

Only ever had one purchase, a Panasonic microwave that we had to take back, all other stuff we have had from Clearance Bargains has been new, wardrobes (damaged box, contents fine), Nook Simple Touch (listed as refurbished, was brand new as far as could be seen, unused), several other shelving items and cupboards all brand new boxed, GHD straigheners (brand new, boxed), TVs (1 hairline scuffs on stand, other as new), Dremel tool (boxed, sealed, new) etc.

Nice find have some heat

Glad yours went fine, was disappointed with my 'refurbed' apple tv. However got a fridge freezer there and still going strong after 5 years.

They also have white 8gb ones for £111.

hot, would like to buy 1 but my kids dont play many of the games so wouldnt need it right not but good price op

Just bought the black 32gb super mario bros/super luigi for £143. It is refurbished (says on the box) and the console and controller are wrapped in plastic, looks brand new. The disc is immaculate and you get 1 years warranty with the store. I bought a reconditioned ps3 from here a couple of years back and that too was immaculate. I'm very happy with my purchase, thanks op :smiley:

Good price but for me the sweet spot for a Wii U will be £100. I can't justify paying much for one since I only want it for Zelda, Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Bayonetta 2

cold / mark as spam,

the insides of it are only worth £40 - £60 pounds in scarp if that

Voted hot as it's not a £20 coin for £23.

Learn something new every day.

I now know where stanley is.

Voted hot - mainly to counteract the moron who's voting cold because he doesn't like the price of £20 coins or some such nonsense.






(Actually, I mainly voted hot because it looks a good deal, but don't tell the negative kid...)

Any idea how many left in store? May finally cave and pop up after work if some still left

As I said if people are being lazy it's their own fault not the ops.

Yes this is on the 9th line of the description. So people can vote without even opening the page and will see nothing about it being refurbished.

Is anyone going in to buy one? PM me pls

Did you bother to read the description or are you one of the 'I'm too lazy to read past the title/price' group?

If you had read the description the op has mentioned the box in the store says it's refurbished, I've copy and pasted the relevant sentence and even bolded the relevant word as you seem to have missed it(if you even read the description in the first place),

"I think most of the stock is ex Argos and is marked up as refurbished but I have never had any problem with previous purchases."

nothing, just as good as one any for do the same random voting crap on,

and likely you wont see them

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/new-2nd-20-coin-for-20-plus-3-p-p-free-buy-3-more-royal-mint-1947737

cos due the the bs votes they cold, even with a bank price never less then £20 and a more than likely offer from westmister collection of £25 each coin so they can sit on them and sell after everyone else is out of stock for silly prices, oh well already sold all mine at £35 for perorders,

i just wont bother post anymore here with how this site works anymore, it just annoying

I have not a clue what the hell you are talking about (perhaps because I have not seen the royal mail £20 coin thread) but what has that got to do with the Wii U and its price point?

It won't be a refurb from there, it'll be a customer return. I've had stuff in the past and never in the best condition.

Also surpried not a few comments claiming the wiiu's still over priced even at this price.

nope just doing what others did on the royal mail £20 coin that got marked as spam, for the some reasons

tho at less i put why / a comment when i mark things cold, others dont and just get annoying

not really a deal if you can order these brand new £150 with nintendo land

I was in the Walsall one yesterday and they only had 10% off and not a single Wii U in, so I'd call up first.

are there any clearance bargain stores in birmingham?

Believe me you don't want to live near here.

The good staff of clearance bargains will open up the box for you to check the contents and fire the thing up for you to check it is still working if you ask.

Great deal if you can get it. I'm tempted with the Amazon 199 deal for the 8GB and two extra controllers and 3 games. by time you sell on the bits if you don't need them it would work out that the console is £140-£150. I still have my old Wii so have two spare motes.

I want a Wii U so bad but struggling to justify the purchase to my wife two weeks before our holiday lol

Actually it is not clear straight away it is refurbished. bp4917 is spot on that this is misleading.

Wish I lived near here :disappointed:
*looks over at mario kart 8 sitting lonely on the shelf*

Should state refrub in the title

If i pay someone can they pick me one up? I ofc will pay shipping also :smile:

No, it's County Durham

Hot!

Would you purchase one for me if I paid for shipping plus a little extra for your time?

£15 cheaper than the last time someone posted this last month was 10% off then(was the Walsall store), let the hot votes begin without anyone on here having got one :stuck_out_tongue:
