    This is sooooo funny. I have seen this happen so many times on here along with alot of other regulars I'm sure, I can't believe you lot think you're going to get this. A £600 camera for £99 your having a laff. I dont care how many confirmatons and 'delivery times' you have had......IT WILL NEVER ARRIVE :snow_laug

    I bought the 350D from currys for something like £350, and have also had a shot at this. I'm a uni student, so I ought to qualify, but we'll see! If I do get it, it'll either be going on ebay, or I'll sell it to a friend or something.

    Most of us hardened MiSE'rs know it isn't going to get delivered, but we always jump on for the ride.

    They've taken £98.70 from my account by the look of things, so I wonder how long before it gets re-credited and the cancellation email arrives...

    you are probably right!

    but i thought when you receive acceptance of order it becomes an agreement?

    If people hadn't phoned or made maultiple orders then we may have just have got something!

    But probably not though - anyways, thanks to all the idiots who take advantage of this site to personally benefit and screw others on ebay.
    Treat others as you would like to be treated :A
