And its me again.

Honestly, if you are getting fed up, I promise that all this Black Friday nonsense will be over soon, and I will shut up for a while. Until then, thanks for your patience.

Many of you will know Paul Jepson, formerly branch manager at several of our branches, most recently at Crawley and then sales manager at Fareham, and now our digital marketing manager.

Paul has a very individual sense of humour, and is the evil genius behind the Price Drop challenge.

This time, the product is a Baxi MainEco 24 kw combi - a basic, bread and butter, entry level combi. They got discontinued at ErP, so we have been clearing them out. They were selling steadily at £399, but we need the shelf space, and so decided to raid the marketing budget to reduce them to £299 +VAT, and we sold quite a few yesterday and today at that price.

We still have 15 left, and starting at approx 7:45 this evening, we will be cutting the price by £10 every 15mins or so. However, once they are sold out, that will be that.

So you guys collectively decide the sell price. There are no customer limits, so one customer might decide to clear the lot, once the price reached a level where they were happy. Or it might fall all the way to £9! Who can tell?

So get over to the site now, and keep monitoring the current price

I think your just being bloody greedy Ray! It`s called Black Friday for a reason it`s not Black Weekend you know! lol
 
All I wanted ov for mine combi for his easy. Silly sod dragged his heels and was like wellllllll I'm not sure
 
Sorry Ray my anger masked my literacy. I wanted open vent for my house, he wanted Combi for his, dragged his bloody heels and we both missed out
 
We've got a bloke whining like mad via FB because he wasnt quick enough to get a WB yesterday or a Vaillant today.

He flatly refuses to believe that any of the several thousand people registered on the site could possibly have moved faster than him.

I refreshed for hours then they were gone i dont belive they existed
 
Well you don't really stand to make anything by making it up

We could have just been hyping people up, with zero stock, just to drive traffic to the site. And lets face it, that is WHY we did do the very dramatic ones - to drive traffic. But the bargains were genuinely there (and still are in some cases), and there are people all over this forum and FB who are happy to have cashed in.

Its just sour grapes I guess, because he wasn't quick enough.
 
Any more tonight ray or is the bank card safe now?

There are still hundreds of bargains on the site Alex. Have you paged all the way through?

I'm staggered that there are still a couple of 210 unvented twin packs left at £498, but that may drop further? Surely at some point, someone with a lock-up will grab the lot.

Yeah it's been a good couple of days. Sadly I'm looking for specific items I don't have the storage for too much

Are there any other games tonight

No more new offers will be released tonight Matt, although there is still one pair of Stuart Turner pumps going begging at £99, and the last couple of unvented cylinders has still to drop to lord know what price!
 
I can't believe people are moaning you do a great offers first come first serve

We have had lots of moans Steve. Mostly from people who missed out.

On Monday, I bet I take 20 calls from customers demanding that we honour a black friday price to them.
 
You cant please everyone sometimes you win (not me this time) sometime you lose as ive been on the **** tonight on a pre arranged night out and call outs last night.
