Bargain of the year..:)

just couldn't believe that 20 of Garnier BB, 50 ml have been sold at the price shown (£98), must be a typo, but how come the listing is still active, did seller not notice anything? :)

    Some sellers whack the price up if an item is out of stock, then reduce it when stock arrives. I think it saves ending the auction or summat.

    people generally hike the prices up if they are waiting for stock so they keep their place
    within the search results for that products.

    If you end the product your previous sales of it when you relist aren't taken in to account
    when people search for it when the default is sorted by 'best match'

    If you search for garnier skin perfector b.b cream they are still 4 places down in the best match
    search despite the high price now
  • they didnt pay £98, they paid between £8 and £9.79 if you click the '20 sold', the seller has obviously relisted and made a typo. lol

    ahh, right, i didn't actually clicked at "20 sold", so couldn't see that they were no more than £10, but the actual listing price put a smile on my face, so thought to share, must be a typo indeed...:)
