This story started out as a post about the Advent Vega being back in stock just in time for Christmas, after selling out two lots of stock online. But before we could finish writing the story, it sold out again. That’s at least the third batch of stock to go. The first batch of the Advent Vega lasted just a couple of hours, and the second not much longer than that. Since selling out the Advent Vega has been popping up on eBay for over £100 more than the RRP, with some selling for as much as £390. Stock is coming and going, but doesn’t stay available for more than a couple of hours.
Out now | £249 | Currys, PC World, Dixons
