[Jasxn]

It says on news and stuff that everything is 50% off then you go in the store and it has big signs saying "Up to 50% off" but its lies nothing is 50% off its mostly 10% lol, LIARSSSS! (N)!

[Jordan:A]

Its UP to 50% off not ALL 50% off

[Monopoly]

Its UP to 50% off not ALL 50% off

he gets that, he just thinks it false advertising.

[Jasxn]

yeah, they'll have like one pair of gloves in a drawer somewhere that're 50% of today and back to normal tomorrow.

[Jasxn]

------------------------

It's like at my JJB Sports it says upto 95% off so I thought I was going to get everything really cheap then I find that the only things that are reduced in price are makes like 'Champion' and JJB's own make. :l

[Indie-Dan]

I've lost count on the amount of threads I have seen on this :rolleyes:

Yes, it's very misleading, it does say up to 50%, therefore meaning they can reduce it by anything from 1%-50%

'Tis a marketing scam, y'know.

Same with mines, no point in putting that on ur signs cos customers get angry, when like one pair of gloves is reduced by 95% and nothing else, they're mongooses.

[Urnuph]

i got some nice markers and tip pens so its all good

[Jasxn]

I need to get some pens tbh, mite go up tomoz lol.

[Cypher-]

It started today you cant expect every store up and down the country to automatically slash prices right away, give it to the end of the weekend and all of them will be slashed in half.

Theres already a thread on this btw http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?p=5381317#post5381317

It's not a scam, it's a marketing technique.

There is a difference - and, you should all be ashamed that you're pouncing of the deals that they're offering without a thought for the 35,000 people who will be out of a job come next month. Congratulations, you really fail.

[JackBuddy]

Well it did what it intended to do didn't it...? I mean, you visited the store!

Never bought anything though. :eusa_danc

[cocaine]

typical british isnt it lol they cant settle for even a minor discount

[Captain]

Not much of a discount really though considering how everything here is way over priced compared to other countries.

[cocaine]

yeah but thats the UK for you..

[Andeeh]

ah well im still going in der tomorrow haha ;)

[Ostinato]

popped in today

Alot of the shelves were empty, and I guess it's okay for liek parents buying loadsa toys or whatever at xmas.

TBH thoguh nearly everything was 10% off and some 20%. Think there was like one thing that was 50% off n no1 wud buy it nyway lol.

I got half way round before getting totally bored and leaving.:P

You'd be suprised...

[AlexOC]

Probably only 1 thing is 50% xD

[Excellent2]

Yep it's just a scam to attract shoppers. If you're that gullable to beleive that almost everything in the shop will be 50% off you shouldn't visit any shop. They're hardly going to put expensive items at 50% are they? You will most likely find that a biro pen that costs £1 will be 50p thus being 50% off, thats about it.

Also if it says UP to 50% off as someone stated, it can mean from 1-50% so you can't complain.

[TopManTim]

My mum bought cookin stuff for 50% off :)

yeh like when people sell things for like

£7.63

WTH!, £7/8 would be fine

[GommeInc]

Errrm, saying "Up to 50% off" isn't mis-leading, it's called you mis-reading ;) If it said "50% off" then it would be mis-leading you ;)

Shame the Woolworths franchise is pretty much ending, such a popular and well known store, yet no-one really goes in there :S

[Jxhn]

It was really crowded and hmv opposite was still cheaper and all the stuff was **** anyway.

[Titch]

There are only 10 head office staff now.

And update for everyone. Dad came home last night and said, only 25 stores will be closing before xmas. Rest are closing jan 16th (final day of trading) and they (adminstrators) have just ordered another 40 million pounds of stock in toys becuase trading is doing so well they recon they can lower some of the debt. Iceland signed a contract y-day to buy 50 and the store loactions will be released on dec 23rd. Poundland have made an offer for 300 stores however its still in discussion.

:P

[Hated]

At my woolies they got stuff covering up the up to bit on the windows so you can't see that it's not 50% off everything until your already in the shop lol
