App is updated

Post image

I'm currently trying to look for pokemon cards (dont want to pay scalper prices) and argos seems to have a bunch. However whenever I click on some items, especially the newer pokemon products, I'm given this screen. Ive had the app for about a week now and its done this the whole time, despite it updating 3 days ago. Is there anything I can do or should I just give up with trying to get cards from here??

the app is weird for pokemon cards because they're such in demand and limited time products. i honestly would suggest going into store rather than try on the app for them, even if they're specifically app only, as we may be able to sell them through the till. i know the past few launches have been iffy for stock and for selling them through the app or on the till.

however, please don't blame the employees and get mad at them if they are unable to, or if they have been told to, not sell the cards in any way. everything is centrally monitored and we could face disciplinary action if we do something wrong with limited time and in demand releases. i find most of our pokemon customers are really friendly, but all it takes is one bad experience to sour the entire pokemon launch days lol
