Wait a while and the prices will drop.

They just trying to get the best price they can, after all if you were owed money by comet you would want as much of it as possible.

The only "FIRE SALE" that has no fires for sale

And asking got any more than that off is seen as just un thinkable... Even of you're buying multiple items.

I'd say the site is being kept offline to get people frenzy buying.

Noooope

"Martin Lewis reckons it's not worth bothering with."

And he'd be right. Most things can be bought cheaper online.

I would be quite wary about buying any valuable items from Comet as they have stated that no goods are covered by a shop warranty, i.e. you can't get a refund on faulty goods. In any case they are closing down and you'll be left with the manufacturer's warranty only.

Some of the stuff there isn't that cheap by any measure. They are selling HMDI cables for 100 quid, so 10% off that is still 90 quid for a bloody cable that is only worth a tenner.

Additionally if you are the least bit curious about where your money is going it will go straight to pay off the administrators fees and the owners of Comet, that is already wealthy people getting even wealthier. They can make the most money by liquidating the stock rather than trying to sell it as a going concern, even after paying off the suppliers.

People who have ordered and paid for goods that are no longer in stock will not get, not get a refund and not be offered an alternative because according to the administrators payment was made to Comet before it was taken over.

Oh, and a few thousand employees will be laid off in time for Christmas.

I know everyone loves a bargain and some people can't resist going but there are no bargains there and you are buying off spivs in suits so I will give this one a miss.

lol looks like their sale isnt gathering much pace. US owners attempt to recoup fat cat wages plan is failing miserably???

***from Sky news

It launched a "massive" liquidation sale on Thursday, but many customers were left disappointed by the level of discount.

On Friday, Matt Bodell tweeted: "FYI anyone thinking of going Comet for the liquidation/clearance sale. Dont bother its like 10% off. Hold out for the prices to drop in 2wks (sic)."

And Graeme Chapman added: "sad it may be about Comet but their going out of business sale isn't much of a sale."

As the sale has only started comet will only be offering 10% discount, the bigger bargains wont come until they have sold all the stock from their warehouses, it will be the display items that will have the bigger discounts on them.

I chatted to 3 different assistants in 2 different stores... each were so uncustomer friendly.

In any electrical store there is always room for a little negotiation on price but the staff were just like 'nope, thats the price'

silly really - what does it matter to them if someones gets a bargin

I used to work for the opposition, and was in a store that was closing due to a bigger new sparkly store being opened, are instructions were to just stick to the 10% in the first few weeks, so maybe the assistant is just doing as they are told
