    I've ordered one, am a uni student, there's something I noticed:

    The first acknowledgement email has this:

    Total: 84.00
    Shipping Cost: 0.00
    Discount: 0.00
    VAT @ 17.50% : 14.70
    Order Total: 98.70
    Currency: GBP

    The second CONFIRMATION email has this:

    Total: 84.00
    Shipping Cost: 0.00
    Discount (Incl. in Total): 425.79
    VAT @ 17.50% : 14.70
    Order Total: 98.70
    Currency: GBP

    Spot the difference? Well its the DISCOUNT line- it's different in the confirmation email which seems to acknowledge that the camera is discounted- maybe this isn't a misprice? :confused:
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    They are now out of stock , apologies peeps, i just snapped up the last 74 in stock :)

    I'm assuming that is a joke?

    I don't want this deal, but people that jepordise such deals or reduce stock by ordering such large amounts really disgust me.

    It was fun until it was spoilt - why oh why can't people just take one of a bargain and not take the p**s?
    How long till we get cancelation emails and we all start a new thread about how to get them to honour their price?

    I agree Brodel, the minority spoiling it for the majority yet again. That is why these BB bargains will always fail. :mad:

    I'm using my 10% cashback from egg money, as well as 3% from quidco. Even if it doesnt show up, there's a good chance I'll be getting around £10 :)
