WOW - Argos just valued my iPhone 12 128gb at £519??!?! What the feck....?!!!!! 😱
Yeah I got a good quote for mine too… wondering if I should just scrap the MM offer and go with Argos if it means I can keep my phone now for a bit longer…
 
that's such a 'first line support' reply!


"massive bags"!

😂 😂


honestly, people shouldn't worry that its happening.. it will be resolved and all be fine tomorrow.

Oh I cracked up at massive bags!

What a load of cods wallop, I’d be scared to hear what second line support say!

My pre-order ‘order’ also disappeared, I simply created a new one, job done.

Here is to it all not going Pete Tong with pre-orders tomorrow! 🤞
 
Apple site finally fixed - changed from paying up front to a loan considering its 0%, why not!!

How extensive our Apple's checks? My 11's touch screen plays up sometimes, so hoping that they dont notice!! 😅
Well idk. I've sent in devices and always got the full amount. Sent in a 2016 MacBook Pro where a key slid off they keyboard, had the screen replaced (by apple though), and at one point had spilt a beer on they keyboard...
 
Can't actually complete the transaction on Argos site though....anyone gone all the way through??
 
Same. Normally wouldn’t consider a handset plan with a network but got a 20% discount myself so worth a look
What are you planning on going for? I want the mini in Starlight, because it will match the iPad mini I've just ordered 😅And because I'm still on an iPhone 8 Plus and tbh I'm sick of it being so massive. Use my girlfriend's mini a lot and it's the perfect size imo. I did try out a regular-size 12 but even that felt a bit big an unwieldy to me. I like change. Will probably end up getting a super size Pro Max in a few years as my next phone.

I’ll be posting mine out on Monday and use an old 7+ until Friday, can’t risk of missing out on that £740 quote

Also I think I read in their T&C that priced is locked in for 21 days from the day of the order but they have to check it out in 21 days, not just receive it, so need to consider 1/2 days after reception for them to check it I guess
Exactly what I’m doing, locked my price on the 7th and will post off on Monday expecting payment by Friday 24th hopefully, I think I have until the 27th for them to receive and process

Will also be going back to the 7+ for the week

that is unless any more info on this Argos offer comes to light.. they’re £29 less than my MM offer but if it means I can keep the phone longer (or even not need to post it off until after the 13 is out…)

anyone found any FAQ’s about how long their price is locked in for or how it works? Or if you can even do an in store trade in like carphone warehouse to save posting it off?
 
I’ve got the same price for my 11 with Argos as MM earlier this week, but have done an order with them as well.
Order Confirm was greyed out for me as well at first; make sure you have your house number in the line below first line of address, that sorted it for me.

It says 14 days but you can request a 7 day extension. I’m thinking of going down this route if the website bloody works. Might just be chrome on my phone though
 
It says bank transfer on the homepage... I don't think it's Argos vouchers.

Well that was a turn up, 130 GBP more than MM or EF...thank you

It def says get paid by bank transfer

Can't actually complete the transaction on Argos site though....anyone gone all the way through??
It works for me - just followed it all the way through to the end, You get given an 'Order Number' for the pre-paid parcel they will send out.

I am a little suspect though as there is no mention of the £519 pounds they will offer for my 128gb iPhone 12 other than on the very first page - not even on the confirm page....?!

This is a little worrying also (they could actually pay you alot less) :

Hmmmmm - too good to be true perhaps................

Will have a proper look when I get home

only issue is there doesn’t seem to be any experience with them so they could easily reduce their offer over a minimal thing, whereas MM are proven to pay what they offer..

Your confirmation email will state the offered price from page 1.
