Just the other day I decided to go out and replace my current Hoover to a shiny new Dyson DC24 and after doing some research on-line, I work out that the prices should be £200 for the Yellow model (called All floor) and about £240 for the DC24 Animal. I drove to my local retail park and first headed off to PCWorld / Currys (its a combined store). The prices looked rather high and as there was not a single sales person about – I ventured off across the road to the local Comet store. It was at this point it was clear how these stores work – let me explain.

Sony HC51
After looking into every angle on which camera to buy and finally thinking about buying one at long last, I had said to myself that the Sony HC51 which used Tapes but had firewire was the model of choice. The local Curry’s had this very model on sale for £135. Now I know I could find it on-line for £119 but by the time you add P&P – then its not such a bad price and of course you get to take it home then and there.
