[Hems]

This does sound too good to be true but I ordered it anyway to make sure its not some sort of screw up on the website.

That seems a great deal. I've just ordered one too. Let's see if we get it at that price.

That link now showing it @ £253.60

Already have one but at £70 would have been tempted to buy another - what I'd have done with a 2nd one god only knows...ÿ

It's in the Used and New link. Not the main bit of the link.

I've ordered one for the bedroom to act as a (noisy) DVD player and for gaming when the main TV is in use... Let's see if it turns up.

 

[margetti]

Ahhh... I should go to Specsavers eh!

Now I'm sorely tempted (pay day tomorrow) - don't get to use mine as much as I'd like to as it's hooked up to the main tv along with everything else and for some reason Eastenders comes before xbox in our house

 

[VoodooDoctor]

It's definitely gone now though.

 

[Hems]

the order has vanished?

Placed two orders over an hour ago, but it seems AMAZON have deleted them without notification !!!

Thats not playing fair, they made a mistake deal with it !

 

[professorhat]

Yup, same for me. Was bound to happen - worth a shot though!

 

[Hems]

Are they allowed to do that? Especially without notifying customers.

 

[professorhat]

Yup, will be part of the terms and conditions. Basically they are allowed to cancel the order up until the point of delivery. Once it has been sent for delivery, there's nothing they can do. But before that, if a mistake has been made with the pricing (as clearly there was in this case) they are well within their rights to cancel the order. Here it is in black and white (under points 14 and 16).

I suspect an email will be forthcoming at some point to explain the error.

 

[VoodooDoctor]

Mine's gone too. Rubbish.

 

[margetti]

As the OP said...ÿ

Hems:This does sound too good to be true...

I would have given it a punt if I'd seen this, but you can't exactly quarrel with them over cancelling a misprice. Where it starts to seem like they're taking the mick is when they take your money, take a week to cancel the items and then leave you waiting for a refund a la CDWow.

Check your bank account or credit card,if they took the money then they have entered into a legally binding contract (whether they subsequently have refunded it or not).

 

[professorhat]

Not true, would suggest you read through the terms and conditions of the website I posted earlier. It clearly states when the offer becomes a legally binding contract and it's not at the point they withdraw funds, it's at the point they email you to say the item has been dispatched.

Up until that point, they are well within their legal rights to refund you any money taken and cancel the sale.ÿ
