We have to guess, this is HUKD you know

Seriously, this probably tops the pointless goose chase Tesco deals. OP posts a deal, no store, no proof and bingo! At time of writing 357 degrees of heat.

Don't know who is worse, the OP for such a useless post, or the idiots for the useless heat.

Made my mind up.....it's both.

​How about 'thank you for that. Where is this'. No wonder people don't bother sharing deals with comeback like this

​I've never posted a deal on here, partly because people can be pretty impolite with their responses and questions (they sound more like demands than questions sometimes). It's not as if people get rewarded in any way for posting something that might benefit others?

did you ask colleagues to check in their system?. the store I got it from it wasn't on display. I asked colleague to check in the handset. and he got it from wharehouse

None in Preston or Bamber Bridge yesterday.

anyone tried the stores above, did they have stock@ £16

few more stores

for 1tb. stock available in few stores.

none in truro, apart from a different drives of 1tb @ £50 and 2tb @ £65
penzance none and helston none

Hence the huge price drop.

Both the 1tb and 2tb are discontinued products, being replaced by the Seagate Expansion Slim drives. That is why stock is hard to find.

Yup, me too, but only for 24 hours.
There were actually four branches near me showing stock, one of which (Winnersh) had three left according to the system, but when I called they said they didn't normally reserve due to people not bothering to turn up, so it's probably store by store and how nicely you can sweeten them up if they don't normally. As it turns out, they only actually had one in stock and the when they physically checked... it wasn't there so it had been nicked, apparently!

So if you call a branch, will they reserve it for you?

May well have been from Inverness to Penzance, and the facts clearly and definitely show that it certainly wasn't in only one area, but we'll never know.

But I got one. :innocent:

I'm obviously missing something as people seem to have successfully bought his from all over the place, hence it's not just local. By definition the word local is "belonging or relating to a particular area or neighborhood, typically exclusively so" so I'm failing to see how this can be a local offer when they've been bought from many different places?

The logic would suggest that your argument would follow that unless they're supplied at all stores, which they may well have been before this thread was started, and we don't know that, that it's a local deal, but as the facts show that it was available at many stores, my calling the shop showed that at one point most of the larger stores carrying tech equipment within 40 miles of me had it in stock at some point, then it is qas quite likely a national deal.

Everything is local to the area it's in, doesn't mean it's not available elsewhere and therefore nationwide.

Just unlucky that you didn't find one in time, that's all!

Yup, and got the product code so they could check within a 50 mile radius if there were any in store. Anyone could do it, and the smart ones did by the look of it.

Can you explain what a local branch is compared to just... a branch??

So basically you called up a local branch then?

It is available to everyone, or potentially at least was, if you're willing to do a little homework and put a bit of effort in. I needly one quickly, searched for hard drive deals on here, and it paid off for me. Didn't do anything special, just used common sense.

It's quite obviously a national deal, it's just pot luck where they are and how far you're willing to travel to get one. I got a mate local to the store to get mine once I'd called, it's not hard.

Disagree with the comments saying these sort of 'local' posts are pretty pointless. If it's a big name store like Sainsbury's, Tesco, etc. then spending a bit of time calling round can be fruitful as it can sometimes be nationwide, just pot luck where. This thread's now 6 days old and I've just picked one up from Sainsbury's in Kempshott, Basingstoke for the £16.50 quoted. I called the Calcot, Reading store who simply told me where they were showing in stock in the surrounding area: 4 stores showed as in stock, only one had one so I bought it, simple as!

If anyone else wants to do the same locally to them, the Sainsbury's SKU code for this product is 128979692. They should be able to tell you where there are any left, if there are any. :smiley:

got one from tottenham 1tb

the 2tb item number is 128979713

In my nearest Sainsbury's they have the 1TB Expansion Slim which is £50.

The packaging is slightly different to the one posted on this deal, so perhaps this why some are scanning at £50.

2TB for £16.50 in Sainsburys where i am

No stock in Alnwick

how do I post pic on here.

Went to my local store they had too at £50 didn't know the price was corrected at the till. So il go back tomorrow to get

none left in Braehead

none in orpington none in bromley none in beckenham none in sydenham

Thanks op, none in Eltham, London but worth a look definitely.

Thank you OP, and please ignore the unnecessary derogatory comments. I have tried the Sainsburys stores in the Tyne Wear area but unfortunately no stock left.

Well like I and others have said before. It's another phantom deal to the majority of us. It just feels a waste of time to me, if this deal is not available to everyone.

yes, I thought it would be.

Can someone get me one? I'll pay postage fee on top

The tins and bread discounts, as you describe them, are an everyday event in any major supermarket, so I don't see why anybody would list those.
However, if I chanced upon an item with a serious discount in my local stores, I would let the locality know and make the wider audience aware that there is the possibility of said bargain.
I would therefore explain where I found the product and explain that I don't know if this is a nationwide deal.

If only a few people gained from it, so be it, the voting on here is irrelevant as proven by this very deal. Few have confirmed they've found it at the OP'S price , yet it's currently 637° and counting.
I took advantage of an Amazon deal that was expired a couple of weeks ago, I still managed to order and take delivery. Go figure.

I understand what your saying. But to be honest, a local deal, is just a limited availability. Which means only a few people might only get the hands on it. How comes you dont list the reduce bread, and dint tin discounts then?

Good for you. I'm made up. I couldn't really give a flying you know what whether you bought champagne or not...

I think your sarcasm is lost on me...

None in Telford. Were £27.50 when they had them available according to assistant.

This is a great Site. It is spoilt though by some of its Selfish. Ignorant and thoughtless people who use it.
Think before you post. It's not all about You.

Whatever next? Well maybe the store it was found in for a start, might help the planks that can't help voting hot on each and every deal. Hey I went into a Morrisons today and they had some bread discounted! Shall I post that and see how much heat I can get ?

as per my discussion with the customer services at Cheadle, this is the same deal that they had in Jan, but some stores might still be carrying some stock.

I tried fallow field, birch fields, sale, Cheadle. Denton, and nobody has the 2tb or 1tb in stock, (except for sale which had the 1tb one in stock).

and for all those who ve been posting hate comments, if u don't like a deal, vote cold and move on. simple!

Seriously, this probably tops the pointless goose chase Tesco deals. OP posts a deal, no store, no proof and bingo! At time of writing 357 degrees of heat.

Don't know who is worse, the OP for such a useless post, or the idiots for the useless heat.

Made my mind up.....it's both.

the winter evenings must just fly passed. it was sarcasm and I didn't really buy champagne. :wink:

None in Perton.
More than 4 at Bentley Bridge, shelf price £50, alas also scanning at £50

Has anyone checked in Leicester?

Got 2TB for £30 when I went for my usual groceries

Can i stick this **** in my ps4 or does nobody no like me?

None in Hazel Grove, Handforth, Macclesfield or Denton - to save you a trip

Great deal, managed to get one at Ashton Moss store aswell as BT triple pack Xenon 1500 for £18.....get in.

If you find one in Aberdeen and I live in london then does it really deserve a thanks? These deals are stupid really when they are not nationwide stocks other wise you may Aswell just tell your friends or neighbours rather than get people excited who have no chance of being able to buy it unless there a long distance Lorry driver or something

Tried in St Albans (Everard Close) and scanned at £50 :disappointed:

Okay anyone seen them elusive Geese !

It's not the fact that people ask for proof or more information on a deal, it's often how they ask that causes the problem. Just a simple 'please' would make a huge difference?

There's no stock of this in Sainsbury's Epsom by the way. I just checked.

Just seen the sticker in Stainway but none in stock. :disappointed: Supposedly some near Sudbury and Ipswich if that's any help. :smiley:

I don't believe it's a problem to post a local deal. A little bit of detail in a post can explain the facts.
I'm sure that someone would appreciate you helping them out in your locality, whilst the rest of the nation can always check if they can be lucky too.

Great if you want to lose all your data, Seagate are being taken to court over the high failure rate of their hard-drives.

anyone see any in any of the liverpool stores?

Does this fit ps4

I just got the last one in Chadwell Heath, thanks to the very helpful lady in Customer Services.
The stock system incorrectly shows 3 left (I guess it only updates once every 24hrs).
All that's left there is a 1TB Seagate Backup Slim Plus for £50, and a 2TB Seagate Expansion for £65~.

Thanks OP!

Very cheap price

it's looks like national but not sure. i have picked mine up from chadwell heath. they not on display but they had 4 case available.

i work for Sainsbrys and I have checked its in most of the stores.

I concur, just because the price appears to be the best deal in storage history shouldn’t raise queries.

Carrickfergus store still priced at £50 (also scanned at £50) :disappointed:

nothing in Kings Lynn stores.

Although i can understand what you are saying perfectly & you put it sensibly & politely
, I still don't believe in people demanding proof , i always think i should treat store- specific deals as a heads up if you have to do some other shopping there any way , believe it or not i had some one demanding me proof for an online deal once (yes an online one demanding if it was fulfilled- not just asking ,accused me of heat seeking ??? :confused:) what would i gain by gaining heat ?? seriously ? i try to post on the comments section if i find a better deal now so some one can pick it up
Btw : i can see my original comment to which you replied has disappeared .... go figure

As it happens, I'm popping by a local Sainsburys in a bit. I'll report back if this deal is in the Epsom store.

"Proof" as you put it is usually only asked for when the deals sounds too good to be true.

Not the case here just no store information

I don't get that, people post deals to benefit OTHERS not to gain points as you say!!!

This community would not exist if people didn't post deals and all these wise cracks by various people will no doubt deter people or make them think twice about posting deals in the future...

People don't have a 'responsibility' to provide proof, but you've got to be aware that there are a lot of jerks around and some people on HukD will post fake deals either to improve their account status or just to be a jerk. We ask for proof because we don't want to travel all the way to our local stores just to find out the OP was lying - uploading a photo of a receipt is a lot easier and faster than actually going down there to check in person.

​Actually yes, I DO feel selfish sometimes. I'd have to be damned sure I was posting a bulletproof deal before I took the plunge....and if I do ever see anything, others have usually already posted it. Everyone's different of course, and done have the confidence to just go for it.

In exchange for being the grumpy b. who asked which store in the first reply, I have just found one in the Bletchley store - £50 on the shelf, £16.50 at the till.

Store specific deals are what ruin HUKD for me. There just a lucky one off most of the time. I could find one store with one open boxed PS4 for £150 off for example and people would go wild for it.

These such deals, and any , I think there should be a criteria ( can't think of the word) but all posts like these should have the store location etc before the deal can be posted live....


Oh and none in my local Liverpool -walton

Nice find, but no store detail makes it almost useless. Maybe you just forgot to mention it though!

the frustrating thing here is that nearly 14 hours later, with nearly 500 degrees of heat, we're still no closer to an answer.

marked as expired unless OP can prove otherwise - would encourage others to do the same.

The zelda wii u deal earlier this week was a big one for me, one of the hottest deals of the day, mentioned no retailer or price in the title, nobody actually questioned why or reported it.

While the deal link may take you to a website with the information it's not always the case

No you are not. We already have people posting that they have found a sale with good prices and only mentioning the name of the store. They don't mention any particular item or price. The info requested by HOTUK is quite basic and makes sense. Posting in this half hearted way just makes it harder to see the good deals from posters that make a real effort.

I can believe that the 1TB drive is £16.50 in Sainsburys as I bought the same drive in 2TB format on Thursday evening from Sainsburys Warrington and it was £30.

I don't agree with some people giving the OP a hard time over posting a lack of info. At the end of the day he's posted a deal that may benefit some people on here which if I'm not mistaken is what HUKD is all about!!!

Sometimes you've just got to make an effort and either phone a store or pop down there yourself to check availability (Just like I did on Thursday evening to pick up the 2TB drive and one of the 500GB wireless drives that were posted on another thread!)

If you post a deal it is supposed to be of benefit to other people on here. The only way to achieve that is to give the detail of where it is available, specifically. Not, Widget available, UK, £xx. But people need guidance, not berating.

i paid 54 for 2tb 2 weeks ago... 1tb price seems decent

​You get rewarded by deals others post. And if you haven't bothered to share for the reason you state. Don't you feel selfish in the slightest?

Has anyone else managed to find this for £16.50?

They can be don't get me wrong but posting a deal with no information is more or less bragging isn't it?

I've not gone out of my way to single out the OP or the comment, i'm just asking for what HUKD actually requires you to post if you are going to share a deal. If someone wants to give me a hard time I will give it back

smoking hot deal but seems store specific never the less nice find

​I've never posted a deal on here, partly because people can be pretty impolite with their responses and questions (they sound more like demands than questions sometimes). It's not as if people get rewarded in any way for posting something that might benefit others?

You mean the comment minutes before mine?

OP hasn't bothered since posting do we have to beg? I was under the impression this was a deal site not a guess the information site.

Suppose that's your excuse 1 deal in 2 years all because people ask for the information

It would also be helpful if people gave some detail for the deals they post.
The submittal form does actually ask you to give as much info as possible.

Some in Ipswich earlier today

still £50 at ossie park road derby

which one?!

Any particular store?

​Well said that man.

​How about 'thank you for that. Where is this'. No wonder people don't bother sharing deals with comeback like this

Sainsbury are clearing stuff according to store stock. I got the last BT Xenon twin phone with answerphone pack for £13.50 yesterday at York Foss Island, they'd had triple packs at £19 - just depends.

Let the chase commence.

These were £50 in Sydenham
