Hi:

If my memory from my Law A Level days serves me correctly, there is nothing that B&O can do about it. There was a case that we had to use to exemplify the sale of goods act and even if I owned a toy shop and put a real gun in the window, providing it does not have a price attached to it or a for sale sign there is nothing that authoroties/trading standards can do.

I guess this is the same as with charity shops that use old record players as displays and yet if you ask to purchase them they refuse because I think thier insurance company refuse to allow them to sell electrical items that have not been PAT tested and obviously that would be too expensive for a charity shop to do.

Thus Comet putting B&O stuff in their shop window (website) is not an "invitation to purchase".

In that case I'll be down to pick up my £699 BeoVision 9 from Comet this weekend 😎

 Yeah but your extended warranty would run into the tens of thousands, and you aint escaping from there without one!

I probably agree with Lee as they tried the whole Dixons Oxford street thing and it just didn't work, However these are harsh times, and with my dealer talking about products stopping, BS9000 stopping next year, plus some things I have heard about production then you must admit that any meetings at high level brainstorming sessions must come up with some crazy ideas to get the brand up and rolling again? Its there job to turn the brand round, and in my opinion if they dont have product or future prospects, and are reducing product ranges then they have to look to other avenues to boost the brand. All be it Comet is severely doubtful and Lee has put our mind at rest on that, but the suits in the ivory towers MUST be looking at other extreme means to get their business back on track!

my dealer sent me a voucher for a trade in on my avant for a new lcd tv worth £500

 i didn't realise my tv WAS worth that much !

 shame it's only valid until 1.august

i bet bno have some super duper stuff lined up for chrismissy time ! 

I'm pretty certain Comet will remove the image at the request of Bang & Olufsen so it doesn't mislead both companies customers. I think the issue will be raised between them, and i can't see anyone falling out. 🙂

Bang & Olufsen UK have expressed their gratitude to BeoWorld for highlighting the image in the thread, and are going to send BeoWorld a few little gifts by way of thanks. How about that!

beobilly and bikerscotty have got one each (one for starting the thread, one for going into the store and asking), so PM me your addresses please. The other two, we'll have a little quiz on the history of Comet or something.. 😕😂

Tell you what,

I think I will join every forum going. At this rate I could retire within the year.  Mind you a 40" screen is a bit big...
