    Offering such a reduced price was taking the mickey. You snooze - you lose. Should've paid the full amount.

    Why? It's standard practice in private sales to offer less than the asking price? Why offer full price when you can get it for less? That's not very money saving is it!

    Agreed. I just knocked £25 off my car insurance excess by asking them to knock something off it!

    I think technically you have a contract, but I have to agree it would be really hard to enforce. I also think you are over reacting on the purchase of cheap second hand goods. One of my big lessons in life has been letting things go even when your in the right as its not worth getting stressed about things.

    Good luck getting hold of it this time!
