Argos will buy any tat?
Did I dream this or did Argos make a large order for the box on wheels?

I thought the girls got a few small orders totalling about 174 but no orders from the two large companies set up by Lord Sugar?

Do they actually buy them or is it just a spoof for the programme?

Everything is real. Even Lord Sugar's beard.

Even Argos has standards, not even taking a few and selling it as "As seen on the Apprentice" could make them order.
What I'd like to know is if Alex's backside hadn't been in their faces during the pitch, would they have ordered more chairs?

You do know the orders are not real orders don't you? No products are ever made or orders fulfilled.
Argos and John Lewis did not order any of the boxes. |

Of course because the products aren't actually available but presumably they are saying if it was available they would order it otherwise what would their pretend order be based on.

Why would they stock a box with a suggested selling price of £75 when they already stock something similar at £45, or something very slightly different for under £30?
So what is the premise for the orders just a joke like I said.ETA Exactly Tracy Surely they are saying if they could order it they would or is it just one complete joke

This comes up without fail every year, they are not "Real" orders, but someone will still post this question.

What about someone who has only just started watching this season? Maybe they haven't been around the forums every year?
Do you think that might be a possible reason that they 'might' post this question? |

No, I didnt know, not really thought about it before, thats why I asked. I knew others would and let me know. The few sarky comments back are not really necessary because nobody knows everything, but thanks to those who politely responded with the answer.

If you don't like sarky comments back, the ds forum is'nt the place to be, and i am going to get some, because i thought the small storage box on wheels was a good idea, and certainly a better idea than the boys poxy fold away chair that looked very uncomfortable to sit on anyway. |

I really did not know that and have never seen a thread on it.
So is the whole thing just bullshit? ![]() No respectable company is going to 'offer to buy' unless the 'product' has some USP or practicality, their reputation is on the line. I have to say this episode has been dumbed down far more than normal, there were no costings, margins etc that they normally have to figure out and they were even given the retail price. |

As Lord Sugar ignored Tom's original idea and just invested in his existing curved file, there is a chance he could push Alex to make this chair if there is enough interest from this prototype. |

I have been on this Forum for years and it is only a few who find it necessary to be unpleasant, so I wont be taking your advice. |
