    There were around 4 or 5 of the ones labelled £4.99 left on the shelf - I moved them towards the back of the display so that any MSEers who knew about this glitch would know to look through them.....

    At the Warwick branch they are in the outside section, bottom shelf on the display.

    Hope there are some left when you go!

    :rotfl:

    brilliant!

    The label says 'Regency Hex Planter Black' (Hex being for hexagonal - Homebase don't know their hexagons from their barrels lol) and the item code is 703072, barcode is 5022437296059. Mine was labelled £4.99 and also 5.99euros. The two I have bought have this on a sticker, but some had the info on a swing ticket hanging off the handle.

    I've just put this code into the search on the Homebase website - and up came a plastic black Hexagonal planter at £4.99!!!! So now I know that they had been mislabelled - but strange that they had been mislabelled with the same item name but with different prices. :)

    The ones going through with the glitch in bishopbriggs have an orange label on them. Says:

    Reduced was £19.99 now £9.99

    Discontinued stock. Reason: 09

    949902 Wooden Barrel NI 48cm

    Barcode number 940000999095052226056458

    These are cedar barrels with rope handles, hope that helps ;)
