Anyone looking at the Denby black, btw, it's £199.99 on the Denby website, as is the 44 piece version. The Denby website also accepts Tesco clubcard vouchers.

every so often Amazon do discount codes off certain departments (normally home and kitchen and clothing and jewellery) . In September I nearly bought the same model as then, sent a 20% of kitchen & home and it worked out £162.00! I convinced myself I'd regret buying it then as it would be cheaper on BF Sad

They normally do them a couple of times a year

This is sounding all rather Generation Game isn't it?!

I "lost" a SatNav earlier today despite clicking the millisecond it appeared. I joined the waitlist at 500+. Went upstairs to change DS's nappy about 45 minutes later and came down to find it had been in my basket briefly but had then left.

That was bad enough, but it gets worse. I rejoined the waitlist. The deal expired a few hours later so I assumed that was that, especially as it said 100% claimed. At some point this afternoon, about 3-5 hours or so after it was listed (can't remember exactly) I went back to the Amazon window and saw the same thing had happened again. FML. Evidently the waitlist persists even though the item has expired.

So people on waitlists.. just keep waiting and checking your Amazon window.

Thanks AYC. Am going to ask DH for a pale blue artisan one instead though :)

jaquelinehyde · 25/11/2011 18:13

If you get a waitlist item then does it just go into your basket or do you get notified?

MinnieBar · 25/11/2011 18:14

Grrr, DH bought Cars 2 for £10 earlier this week as a xmas present for DD1. I managed to get the BF one into my basket, called him into the room - does he still have the receipt for his one? - of course he bloody doesn't!!

AtYourCervix · 25/11/2011 18:15

you get a pop up on the top right side. its pretty obvious if youare watching.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 25/11/2011 18:15

Thanks Honeydragon.
I missed out on it at £150 last year, but couldn't be faffed waiting for another offer.
Just need to learn to bake now.

jaquelinehyde · 25/11/2011 18:17

I have had loads of pop ups but they just keep saying this deal has timed out or expired or similar, been watching all day, must not have been lucky yet.

So the next cryptic deals? The now cd but what are the other 2 do we reckon?

jaquelinehyde · 25/11/2011 18:18

Come on down we are going the extra mile? -- No idea.

This star system isn't chocolate? -- Just makes me want a Milky Way

jaquelinehyde · 25/11/2011 18:20

Eeeek well what do you know I just got Cars2 Blu-ray after being wait listed at number 475 Shock

Blatherskite · 25/11/2011 18:21

I got Cars 2Blu ray too. DS is thrilled :)

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 25/11/2011 18:21

re: 'this star system isn't chocolate' - people over at MSE think this may be a Samsung Galaxy tablet

Blatherskite · 25/11/2011 18:22

I've worked out the secret to the waitlist too (finally, just before it finishes!) You need to actually "keep shopping" as instructed as the box pops up when the screen refreshes

jaquelinehyde · 25/11/2011 18:22

Can anyone link to the Asda sale thingy please? I can't see it on their normal site.

jaquelinehyde · 25/11/2011 18:24

Oooh HalfSpam that makes sense.

So what about come on down, we are going that extra mile?

Blatherskite · 25/11/2011 18:25

I guess Samsung Galaxy. Might be a phone?

Honeydragon · 25/11/2011 18:26

squeeeeeeeeeee got the cars dvd despite being 500 on the waiting list...nearly bought it today for £10 too!

LaterAlligator · 25/11/2011 18:26

Argh my computer crashed at the critical moment :( I don't think I'd have paid 190 quid anyway, ah well!

I think a self-imposed Amazon ban is in order...... :)

ImpYCelyn · 25/11/2011 18:27

I'm 500+ for Cars :(

Blatherskite · 25/11/2011 18:31

I was on the waitlist for the DVD too. I got it and put it back. Sorry ImpY

ChippyMinton · 25/11/2011 18:33

MrsChemist · 25/11/2011 18:34
