Default Ideal Home Exhibition..good deals?

Lots of the sellers seem to insist there are good deals to be had by buying right there and usual prices are higher. Is this true or bollox?

If the seller had to pay a minimum of £7000 to £10000 rent do you think you would be getting a good deal on stock?

Pinch of salt. But I'm told if you go at 4pm on the last day, there are some good deals as they can't be bothered to pack the stock up and take it home again.

Usually end of line products they need to get shot of before the new model comes out.
Got caught once on a bread machine like this, Just do a bit of homework before you go if you have something specific in mind. Know what you should be paying, and if there are new models being heralded.

we went on day 1. had a good look around and didn't really buy much. there are so many place you can buy unusual items or new innovations these days that i would start with the web if i were you.

lots of the people selling on the first floor are regulars on some of the shopping channels (unless they were lying). having heard some of their patter and having flicked through some of the shopping channels i beleive them, but i don;t think their show pricing is any different. they use rrp against "today's" price to sell their products

I was thinking more along the lines of furniture/flooring/lighting than 'innovative cooking utensils'
