People selling Argos reservation numbers for Ebay

This is driving me nuts and I've just reported some of them. I hope maybe one or two of you may join me in reporting them.

I've been desperately trying to get a Ben 10 MP3 player for my son for Christmas, so yes I'm a bit disgruntled. It only seems to be 1 Argos that sell them.

THere are about 12 listings on Ebay where people are selling the reservation numbers on Ebay an examplehere

I've also emailed argos in the hope they'll put a stop to it too. Its unfair that many of us are trying to get top toys for our children and people are doing this.

Okay I'll get off my high horse now. I hope you'll join me in reporting them.

I thought you could only reserve things for 1 day? Or is this for stock coming soon?
Very annoying though if people are buying the reservation numbers.

The Argos near me has them.

It's a bit mean-spirited. You could always bid then not pay up, then they'll lose the reservation and get no money. That'll learn 'em.

Where are you Saltire?

Argos staff can reserve items for 7 or 10 days.

mumhadenough. Hampshire. There are 2 stores near me selling them, one (in town) says can be reserved Wednesday 3rd - Saturday 6th. The other says can be reserved on Saturday 6th.
Is it this one?
