  • Please be aware this is from the new Amazon seller who appears to be having problems getting his/her prices correct, LOL. Ridiculous price, tbh. Maybe he's a multi-millionaire who's decided to share his wealth? :D Tread carefully...

    Its gone now - either sold out or discountinued it says

  • So today we'll find out I guess..

    Everybody check your email folders this morning for an email.

    I am assuming we'll all get one saying there has been some sort of error - but please if everybody could let each other know it'd put everybodys mind at ease.

    Thanks in advance :)

    We aren't all so reticent in starting threads, mate. I do note you have personally started precisely 2 threads in a year on these forums. You tend to specialise in poo-pooing others' threads. Tells me as much as I need to know about you. :rolleyes:
  • Look, you see a pricing error, you go for it, you get a confirming e-mail, the supplier either cancels or sends, If cancels you move on. Its just a bit of fun. If they send it its a result, if not ???
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Looks like it will be £200.00 for postage!

    Have been caught out with these Amazon sellers before.

    Not worth the risk. !!

    Postage rates are set by Amazon, and the seller has no option at all to change them

    So even the people who have parted with their money?

    You can't believe they are taking it seriously?

    Or something else?

    Last time I checked, Amazon.co.uk wasn't famous for playing practical jokes on its users.

    But it isn't Amazon. It's some joker using Amazon Marketplace. May as well be eBay!
    Can I help?

  • At the end of the day...

    "You pays your money, you takes your chances"

    Whether it's too good to be true or not, and I agree it seems to me, it really is a win-win situation if you can afford to tie up £40 for a little while.

    If they don't send it then Amazon will make sure you get the money back, if they do send it then you have a DVD burning PVR for minimul outlay.

    Personally I have sent my money, am taking my chance, and will post a result when I have one. I understand the incredularity of some members, but the difference between Amazon Marketplace and the great Ebay/Paypal dynasty is that Amazon are pretty damn effective at getting your money back to you if it all goes tits up!

    Well done OP... if this pans out my thanks will be swift!
