    Did anyone phone up Pixmania to check whether this "too good to be true" price was genuine before they ordered?

    Yes I did and unfortunately nobody's order will be honoured.

    To thank me for letting them know about the mistake they've agreed to honour the 10 I was going to buy so its not all bad news. :)

    Well it was fun whilst it lasted and me and DF cracked a few good jokes about this last night - but seen as they were still selling this morning i find it highly unlikely that we'll get these, so im going out for the day and i'll read the cancellation email when i get back in later this evening.

    well i have ordered last night, order status is showing as,

    'Your order is in the process of being validated by our Customer Service Department'

    thus it may mean in laymans terms, that i have made an offer, and now they are going to validate all the information and can possibly decline my offer or by luck accept it! 99% likely that they will be declining....

    my only thing in favour for us, was the t+c's of pixmania which seemed rather odd last night when ordering...perhaps a disgruntled employee may be put down to this to get there own back perhaps????, and due to this editing or hacking of their t+c's perhaps?? it may mean that the law would back us up as we entered the contract with knowledge that pixmania would carry out their terms in the contract!!!! once we had paid for the goods and they have accepted payment.

    I wonder what time the cancellation emails will start to appear. I really must get washed and dressed now and stop refreshing my emails!

    5. Availability

    Please note that we will honour your order while stock is available.

    In the event where one of the products ordered is not in stock, we will contact you in less than 15 days as of your order date to inform you how long it will be before we are able to deliver the product.

    If there are certain products that are temporarily unavailable, we will send the available products and will pay the shipping fees for the rest of the order.We will offer you a replacement for an unavailable product, a product of equal price and quality.
    If you choose to refuse, we will reimburse the unavailable product. If you wish to return it to us in the conditions outlined in article 9 (right of retraction – satisfied or reimbursed), the fees will be covered by us

    But all the T&C's relate to ''french code'' so i wonder where that leaves us.
