+rutson Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just picked up the latest Argos catalogue, look what I saw... Quote Link to comment
+perth pathfinders Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ooooo, fame in Argos!! Now when can they get in cheap lock n lock? Good swaps.... Bulk small notebooks ..... Quote Link to comment
+Budlaw Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Seems far from a bargain price or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment
+hiho9 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 wonder what else is in there, will have to wait wile monday though, won't let us have any and i work next door to one. Quote Link to comment
+JeremyR Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Seems far from a bargain price or am I missing something? Yeah, well they still sell the original yellow eTrex at £100. More than double what I paid for mine... Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hmmm... the new catalogue has the Etrex H for 100 notes. Does that mean the normal one will be on clearance tomorrow...? Also the venture is discontinued, currently priced at 129. Quote Link to comment
+stonefielders Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 if its in Argos, does that mean we're no longer considered odd by the greater general population? Quote Link to comment
+hiho9 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 might do some bad as well as good, Quote Link to comment
+stonefielders Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Seems far from a bargain price or am I missing something? Why buy in UK? A £100 GPS in UK can be bought for $100 on ebay "buy it now" from the US Quote Link to comment
+Matrix Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 wonder what else is in there, will have to wait wile monday though, won't let us have any and i work next door to one. I have a new catalogue here and they are available from tomorrow anyway . Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Got mine from one of several open palettes in the Leeds Road, Huddersfield branch yesterday evening. Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Kate Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Seems far from a bargain price or am I missing something? It's only a GPSmap60. It has no colour screen, very limited storage for maps, and has not got SiRFIII chipset. I'd rather have a yellow to be honest. If it were a 60CSX, then that'll be different! Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 FFS! I think (most of) you are missing the point here. I'm not saying it's a great price (it's not I paid the same for my GPSmap 60CSx. My point is the word "Geocaching" in the Argos catalogue! Quote Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Are the rumours true that it's a special Burberry edition? Edited January 19, 2008 by Jaz666 Quote Link to comment
+*mouse* Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 If geocaching is going mainstream, does that we're all now to be considered (gulp) normal? Quick! Find me another hobby! Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'd hazard guess, they've been monitoring company's selling GPSr's, and noticed mention of caching. And it's a case of jumping on the band wagon as a marketing ploy Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Tell you what, go into Argos armed with the catalogue, march up to customer services and asked 'what's this goecaching all about then?'. Quote Link to comment
+goldpot Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 ...and while you're there you can buy some cheap jewellery to stock up on the swaps! Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) I'd hazard guess, they've been monitoring company's selling GPSr's, and noticed mention of caching. And it's a case of jumping on the band wagon as a marketing ploy I reckon yu may well be right, because surely, if the copywriter knew what he was talking about it should read "The ultimate FOR gecaching". I know you could use "in" but this makes more sense in general usage. Edited to correct my grammar complaining about theirs! Edited January 21, 2008 by kennamatic Quote Link to comment
+aRRKS Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Got mine from one of several open palettes in the Leeds Road, Huddersfield branch yesterday evening. Blimey Ian, GPS units lying in the open and you only got one! Sue Quote Link to comment

+Papakas Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Tell you what, go into Argos armed with the catalogue, march up to customer services and asked 'what's this goecaching all about then?'. Flash Mob Argos then? Quote Link to comment
