Grabbit While You Can

Does anyone else feel slightly uneasy at some of the threads on here about glitches on websites which allow you to get more than you are paying for? Just because there is an error on the site??

Does it sound a little bit like the riots we have seen on the streets where everyone is out for what they can get??

Just food for thought.

    and how is it a grabbit?!?!?!

    noone causes any damage or steals! the companys can choose not to honour glitches if they can't afford it! we just keep trying and get lucky sometimes...

    not everyone can pay full price for what they need...

    NO, beacuse the looting is people walking in and stealing.

    Glitches are using a companies purchasing system to buy things using discounts or prices they have set up. If that company did not want people to purchase things at that price, then we assume they would not set up their system to allow it.

    Often if there are mistakes the company do not allow the purchase at all, so they do keep an eye on things.

    Some companies like it as getting on a site like this is a great way to clear stock without paying for any advertising, and people will always grab a bargain.

    Seems I am swimming against the tide looking at the other replies but I think you do have a point.

    Yes I think buying something off the internet at a discounted price or even at a price which is an error that a retailer may or may not honour, is exactly the same as going to my local city centre, getting a brick, smashing a shop front in, stealing as much as I can carry and then setting fire to the shop.

    I can't see any difference at all between the two. :D

    A selective quotation I know but I have to disagree with the statement.

    On second thoughts I'm actually quite offended at being compared to the low life scum who have murdered people, set fire to and robbed small family businesses and made people fear for their lives.
