Unlike eBuyer, their website is still working

http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/Default.aspx

5%-50% discount off most things according to their home page.

Can't see what ebuyer are selling yet but that discount on best buy will unfortunately only bring most stuff down to a reasonable price.

They are closing down all their stores in the UK because they aren't making any money

We bought our new telly from there the other month too.

It says on their website all manufacturer and extended warranties will still be OK so I guess it's not all bad.

There's actually a lot more for sale in the store than on their website.

Also prices of computer things are 25% in some cases.

They have a 13" MacBook Pro for sale in there... was £999 now £899, so tempted!

I really wanted an Airport Extreme Basestation but forgot to complete checkout as I got sidetracked by lunch. All sold out now apparently

I think you can still go to them while they are trading but once they're gone it's a direct to manufacturer job I'm afraid - TBH all they'll do is send it off to them anyway, I'm not even sure if they'd simply swap it out for another one or not?

I got myself a MacBook Pro from my local store last night, saved about £100 off the Apple store price.

Couldn't see any better deals online/locally so I think I did well.

In store...

Came up as 9p, with a 2p discount. They said it was a pricing error, and could only sell me the one copy I had took to the checkout.
My mate tried getting one later on in the day for the same price. It still showed up as £0.07 on the till, but they refused to sell it to him for that price.

Try it...
