DELL PROJECTOR £20!!!

Theoretically, if PNE is the only person who knows about this offer, and he ordered a projector, do you think that he would receive it?

He would have had a much higher chance of recieving it than he does now. A couple of orders may have slipped passed the system as just being 'normal' therefore their systems wouldnt have alerted them of the price mistake, but a sudden rush of orders will be highly unusual and their systems will point this out to them.

IS there much point in hoping?

Dell have done this so many times that I can't count them on two hands.

And never have they honoured them ...

But if anyone did get a bargin from them congrats!

I ordered the printer. I don't expect to get it but if I do It'll be a nice surprise.
If not it was fun while it lasted.

I seem to recall a number of us got 2.93GHz PCs for £183 or £189 including a 15" TFT monitor (which alone costs £200+ on the Dell site!) ;D... so they have been known to honour mistakes in the past.

But that was mainly because they didn't notice the error until AFTER the confirmation pdf's had been sent out. I think they've spotted this one before any went out.

I got 1 of the dell dimension's with tft for £190, it took about 3 days to get the pdf. They did mess about about with it though, delivery was also late. I complained about this and they knocked a further £18 off so it cost £172.

I think it was originally £546. But that included 1 GB of memory... if you reduced it to 256Mb and reduced the cover from 3 years to 1 year, and used the £40 off voucher, it came to £189.

A lot of people got it... there were at least 100 on eBay at one point. And most people wouldn't have ordered for eBay, so I expect there were over 1000 orders that Dell sent out.

was that mis-priced? or its simply that cheap? a normal bargain? rather than a pricing error?

what do u think?

It was a screw up. The memory should have been 256MB, but because they'd put it at 1GB, the option was there to reduce it, and this reduced the cost by about £250. The deal was there for about 4 hours before Dell noticed and pulled it.
