Of course I'm allowed to do it, they're my Wii systems and I am free to sell them at whatever price I see fit. Would you complain if I sold them at £100 and say they were too cheap ?? No of course you wouldn't.

If, indeed you are the owner of the site, which i seriously doubt, you would no about misleading price indication being an offence. Now the webpage has been properly amended this isn't an issue, but contrary to what you believe, you can't just do what you like! If someone has paid above what they believed they were going to pay, you have a case to answer.

I got my kids one this morning from Game no problem:)

Right now i want an extra Numchuk and remote so where's the best deal for them,anyone know?:)

Complain to worldpay, as I use them as a payment gateway. I have complained about a similiar practice in the past and they don't take it lightly. He could well lose his payment gateway if you complain DIRECTLY to worldpay, with your transaction ID and this forum as reference.

Lets ruin his online 'business' scam and then see who is laughing !!

Sorry that's "penny pinching" !!!!!! - Goodbye

Well your not very smart at running a business are you. If I had been in your position I would have at least honoured the ones that went through at £179.99. A price which, as you appear to be a genuine business you will be making a significant profit anyway as you will have got the systems at cost.

Then, I would have hiked the price up as lets be honest everyone is out to make as much as they can.

However, the way you have acted now means that anybody who reads this thread will avoid your company when they wish to buy goods. Businesses are supposed to put customers first, even though most don't do it very well they don't perform tricks like this and do have at least an ounce of goodwill. Did you never take business classes?, happy customers will bring you more customers, but just one un-happy customer could ruin your business!.

I hope you also realise had anybody have clicked the submit button at £499.99, but had a screenshot of the price when it went in the basket (£179.99) and you dispatched the goods that person could have complained to their credit card company and you would suffer a chargeback for the difference in price because the consumer protection act is there to prevent businesses behaving in the way you just have.

The following message was waiting for me:

Nintendo have only shipped part of the promised stock for Nintendo Wii to all retailers within the UK. Due to this, we have only received part of our allocation. We are led to believe by Nintendo that we will receive all stock in time for pre-Christmas delivery. Please accept our apologies for this delay.

:mad: Bummer

Still could have emailed me a copy though. I don't have enough common sense to check 'My Account'
