as long as you ignore the misprices in your own store:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I very rarely look at the miss price thread. Once a month maybe, if I'm bored.

so TE can yo tell me what its scanning at please? or is it all store specific?

Im almost scared to answer - I believe that it is scanning at the lower price as the stickered stock in the sale has a different barcode.

if they didnt come here imagine all the overcharges

I understand the point made by yourself and previous people, my point is if Tesco use this someone has to be overcharged in the first place. What should really happen is that Tesco keep on top of there prices independantly. For example when a product is stickered at one price it doesn't take a genius to ensure it is labelled and scanned at that same price. If every product group, meaning a random selection of say 10% within the group, was checked misprices wouldnt happen. Therefore the consumer would have no reason to complain, these sites would not exist and there would never be an issue!

So(excuse my ignorance)...does everyone who wishes to follow(from EPH), have to re register, or is it possible for you to carry the existing details over.

I'll just keep bumpimg this post up,until I get an answer.

I doubt very much that you will be able to carry over your details. Forumup who the site was hosted with don't keep backups of their databases and I cant find anywhere that says they allow you to take a copy of it which would be needed in order to transfer them to the new site.

Also it would require somebody converting the database from phpbb format to vbulletin which I doubt they'd bother to do (although it is easy with the correct tools)

Thank you for your advise. I think I will choose to ignore it, if its all the same to you.

Ok but what do you mean by this? What did I post that you seemed to disagree with? All I have suggested is that Tesco have themselves to blame and if they were honest and charged us correctly we'd have nothing to complain about. What did you find disagreeable with this?

Its been posted at least once if not twice that it scanned at 4x.xx, so could be woth a go. Might be worth asking on misprice thread for details of the barcode, I still have the old one which scanned at £29.
