Thumbs up Leading Edge Shop .....

.... very much like the Gadget Shop .......... was in there at 3:30pm this afternoon and they announced that everything in the store is now £1!! Yep, £1!!

Got me an arm full of Radio Controlled Audi TTs!! and loads of other gear!!

I don't know how to use e-Bay, but this would be quite a money spinner!!

Sound like Sh*te to me. If you owned the store, your not going to give everythig away for £1. Reduce everything by 50% maybe. Stick all your stock on Ebay perhaps? but not let everything go for £1.

Sound to me that Pete is talking Bollox, just to get attention

Believe what you like ................ at 3:30pm everything was reduced to £1 - suppose they couldn't be arsed to sell stock any other way??

If the shop has gone into administration then I doubt the manager/staff give a crap about what happens? They may have been told to sell all stock by close of play on Sunday?
