I dont think I wil be queuing for shares since they always seem to be selling their stuff off in Sales.

DFS is in permanent sale mode...

Has there been a time in the last few years that DFS hasn't had a Sale on ?

[mikey4444]

PS...I am not sure who are buying all those massive purple sofas, but its not me !

[ToraToraTora]

how do they get around the regs then? I thought that to have a "sale" the item must have been on sale for the full price for a minmum period.

[mikey4444]

I think they don't have to get around it TTT. To use an example ::

Sofa ( purple or otherwise ) is on sale for £2000 for x number of weeks, Sells none or maybe only 1 or 2.

They then put said purple sofa into the "DFS Sale", at a much reasonable price of say, £1000. Many more sold as a result. Everybody is happy, including the local Consumer Affairs Dept.

Sorted, as they in Albert Square !

They probably have some of their stock at full price and the stuff they're pushing at the new reduced price at all times.

Not that I have money for share buying at present anyway.

lol OG !

Actually, some of the stuff in there is quite nice, if you can get past the bright red, or bright purple sofas. But its the size of most of the stuff that surprises me ! Some of those huge corner units wouldn't look out of place in the foyer of a big Hotel. How people get them into their houses without taking a wall down is beyond me.

Im sure their lawyers make sure they are doing nothing illegal but it makes a mockery of the regs. The law needs to be changed to make this type of manipulation impossible. Virtually all retailers are at it in one way or another. The real price is the one that you pay.

If someone can tell me when DFS sell anything full price I will buy them a cocktail.
