    I put in 3 things
    1) 4.99
    2) 7.49 (which reduced to 5.01)
    3) 9.99 ( which reduced to 5.01 and put back up the 7.49)
    Took out the 4.99 item and it stay at 5.01 bonus! So 12.50 for 17.48 worth of goods

    You'll pay only £10 if you do it in 2 transactions, buying one £4.99 with one £7.49 (total £10) and then another £4.99 with the £9.99 (total £10), then return the 2 £4.99 ones and you'll pay only £10 for the ones you want to keep... :D

    Hope it works for you...... I had the same with the pink keyboard but went today to collect and used to self serve till, It came up with 5.01 price :D but when I went to pay it changed to £7.49 :rolleyes:- Called SA over and showed her how it kept changing when I went to pay and she said the price must of gone up to £7.49 since I reserved the order. She did a check on normal till and said that it was showing as £7.49 - Booooooooooo!!! I said how disappointed I was and if they would sell to me at the original (:o) price, she bluntly said NO, theres no way I can just change the prices...:rolleyes::rolleyes: yeah right!!
    Oh well, great find for those who got what they wanted :D
  • Reserved my items last night. Went to pay and self service tils today and it was all at the right prices of £15 for 2 so i didnt bother and wasnt brave enough to query at the till.
