Asking for a discount!
21 Answers
I know that all the tv programms say you should ask for a discount even in the big retail shops but can you do that in Argos?
I have to buy 4 flat screen TV DVD combis, from the charity I volunteer for, to give to a children's ward at a local hospital.
Who should I ask and what do you think is the likely outcome?

Thanks Ethal, I would have done that but the treasurer should have got them 2 months ago and now they need them next week. I will do that in future though as we need to buy a nursing chair and stool for the ward soon as well (they want the expensive one at �550 from John Lewis).
We need 2x 19inc and 2 x 22inc. The 19inc are not too much of a problem. I can get relativly cheap ones from Sainsburys but the 22 inc are the ones no one has in stock. The bloke in Currys yesterday said not many do them in that size with the intergrated dvd player that are available now.

I spoke to the press dept again and they have had problems with their computors...
I shall try again in the morning and then bite the bullet and get them.
Thanks for all the help though. I shall keep the numbers and sort it out earlier next time.

I found amazon are very good price wise but I always buy from amazon themselves not the 3rd party marketplace traders, I dont trust them and their returns policy.
I would try and ring all the electrical companys (you can find your numbers online) and ask them about a discount, I dont know itf Argos would but I know places like dixons do what they call 'managers deals' where its down to the individual store managers to decide certain prices.
Can you go instore with information of the charity and ask them? You might get somewhere with the manager of the charities 'local' electrical store.
You could try the local store by popping in, or phone them buy looking on yell.com for their number, or try ringing the main central number referenced online.
