    If it is a nation wide chain, operating from same head office, they will be offering the same sale.

    I phoned the shop to check this, as I'm moving to the South Hams next week. I was told by a salesman that they have no Garmins in the sale and GPS gadgets never go on sale. Make of it what you will.

    They don't even have the edge 500 up on their website? Is this a cruel joke?

    No joke...can scan the receipt if you like.... :D

    Was in Blacks near WHS in Plymouth.....had at least one left. Perhaps they realised their error.... tho ticket said £99, reduced from £259!

    None in stock in Manchester, have never stocked them as far as the lad knew. Same story in Trafford centre.

    Oh well, back to counting pedal strokes in my head!

    Sorry people, really was genuine and I got one. Had hoped that others could benefit too... :(

    haha no worries, thought it might be too good to be true! If the other ones there next time you're in I'll buy it off you!

    The lad I spoke to thought the shop you got it from probably had it knocking about in their stock room, or that someone had ordered it in and then never bought it.
