When is it actually binding? When someone receives it or can apple still ask them for it back?

Note - I haven't ordered one of these but have been watching this thread build up very quickly

Why are the EverSoRegular MoneySavingExperts (and you know who i'm talking about) so rude and nasty to other MSEs today. Really strange as people on these forums are usually very helpful and supportive of each other.

Ditto for me although its my c/c. (And if she thinks she's getting her hands on it she's got another think coming.)will use her student card if they enquire.

It seems strange to me that it is still listed at £98 on their site. It takes very little to ammend a price error, and so I would expect it to have been altered by now.

Also, as far as I know, when money is debited from an account it is generally considered a contract of sale. correct me if i'm wrong?

Hello everyone btw! :xmassmile

Must be genuine. How long does it take apple to change a price field?

Advice given by Watchdog to consumers:

Generally speaking, in contract law terms, a retailer does not have to sell an item at the marked price. For there to be a binding contract there has to be an offer which has been accepted. In the context of sale of goods, the offer is made by the customer when he/she presents the goods at the payment point (ie the customer offers to buy the goods at the marked price).

The till operator is then free to accept, or reject, that offer. This means that if a till operator spots that goods have been mispriced, he/she can reject a customer's offer to buy at the incorrect price, and offer the customer the chance to buy at the correct price.

The customer may decline or accept that offer as he/she chooses. Inevitably, retailers will make the odd mistake over pricing, but if you become aware that a certain retailer makes a regular habit of doing it, we suggest you report the retailer to the Trading Standards department of your local authority. In certain circumstances misleading pricing will amount to a criminal offence, and Trading Standards departments have the authority to investigate, and, if appropriate, prosecute.

This would imply that as Apple has accepted your offer to purchase the goods of them, they are in a legally binding contract to deliver the goods.

It's got no flash, no memory card, the lcd screen doesn't preview, quite frankly I don't know what the fuss is about. ;-)
