Copied directly from the hotukdeals site. Seems a great price to me.

incl. VAT, shipping be quick.

Just go to the dell site and type in iomega hard drive.
Also I'm not sure but you might get 5% cashback from quidco?

Anyway sorry if someone else has posted somewhere already.

Just saw this myself on HUKD and ordered one. Totally bargain price.
Came here to post but you've beaten me to it

Does seem like a misprice, hopefully they honour this deal

Shopping Tips
Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.

my first ever thread start and I've had to edit it 3 times cos of things I missed eg size of hard drive in title, how to find product, and a mistype in the title where I said £250 rather than 250GB.
Ah well, everyone makes mistakes
It should be ok for all now though.

Thanks for that OP. Don't forget Quidco for 5% cash back (although it will only be 78p, but every little helps as they say at tesco)

This is a definite misprice. Glad I got my order for 50 in early before everyone else, so I can get some money back off Ebay - will pay for my hols anyway.

Worth a punt but clearly a mis-price as about 70-80 online at Amazon, Dabs etc.

Yes, but I saw it on HUKD long before this thread was posted on here! Ebay here I come.
p.s. Has anyone phoned up yet to check that this isn't a misprice?

No probs, thnks for thanking me. Ebuyer seem to do a USB only Freecom one for under £50. As others have said it looks a misprice but as always who knows what will happen, we might get lucky.
