me too, couldnt see any good deals there either..

I just cant imagine the john lewis site having the sheer range
that buy.com have... but I guess the stock has to go somewhere.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I looked at Hard drive prices on Friday/Saturday, just looked now and they've gone up by between £9 & £14.:eek:

The same happened last week with the compact flash. 128mb jumped up by £19 sometime between 4am and 9am the same morning.

It's still a sad loss of yet another top internet company.

Really belongs in the Supplier Forum ;)
Moving...

It's a shame ... they were pretty good at the time of the large vouchers, then have gone gradually down hill, with the takeover the last big step :( The amount of stuff they stock now is ridiculous compared to what they once had :/

I too had noticed their stock levels dropping like mad. I ordered a lite on drive from them before xmas, and they have no idea when they will be getting it in - looks like they wont be now!

Hmm.. I ordered some CD-Rs on Monday evening, that were labelled on the site as In Stock. They have shipped today. So I assume that they are still trading - stock items anyway. Obviously, items on order may or may not arrive.. :(

Yeah, the range has massively reduced - all those 'extra' shops that were opened 6 months+ ago have now closed (office supplies etc). Also, even the PC parts range has reduced in choice, and visiting today I'vce noticed that the prices have shot up!

Maybe these price increases are a prelude to a half price sale when they close down (like HMV, PC World etc do with their sales)?
