Anyone Got An Argos Catalogue And Can Do Me A Favour Please

[Mk3Ed]

Good Afternoon All

I know this is random, but I am hosting a family online quiz tomorrow, and there is a running joke on how much we used to read the Argos catalogues as kids. There are two questions that I need a physical Argos catalogue to get the answers too which not sure if someone is able to help at all please? - the two questions are:

- How many pages are in the Argos catalogue
- From front to back put these sections in order. (just 3 random sections in order will do i.e Toys, Technology etc)

Also I don't think this is possible to find, but if someone knows the most expensive item and price that Argos sell in their catalogue that would be great (but i'm not counting on it.)

Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Theres a thread on here somewhere that provides a link to all the Argos back catalogues...you can browse them page by page...

Mildly interesting fact for your quiz. An Argos manager once told me for every catalogue he gave out he expected £62 in sales back.

I've got Spring Summer 2020!
It's got 1747 pages.
I've attached a picture of the category list for you too.
You'll have to give me some time to attempt to find the most expensive item though!

Everyone knows toys are at the back of almost all catalogues!

I wasn't expecting to log back on and see the replies so quickly. Very much appreciated thank you, I wish the link wasn't sent about the old Argos catalogues I think I will easily waste some time looking through these and bringing back memories. TBSC - I might throw that in as some sort of bonus question. Maccboy really appreciated the world is my Oyster with that photo!

Well so far the most expensive thing I've found is an Apple Mac Pro touch at £2799.
Can anyone better this?

Yes, I'm a bit bored!

[Lincsls1]

No, beaten myself already...
Samsung 85" TV - £3499

If you said you were a key worker we would have got back even sooner. I’m going to spend the rest of the evening in old Argos catalogues now

I tried to google the most expensive thing in the catalogue last night - but they were really old results, but one result was a jewellery item and the other was garden furniture so not sure if any lavish products are hiding in there. But my first guess now would be a technology product. We need an Argos employee to pop up and give all the answers.
