CAB employees *used* to have a little more knowledge about these things than the average joe...but that was before the interent took off. Now CAB offices are just somewhere to go to get out the cold & poke fun at people who are too tight to pay a solicitor.

I thought they were either failed solicitors, or wanabee solicitors who failed their law degree ;o)

It wouldn't be so bad if they let you have extended interest free credit. Is it the same laptop at 549 on Marshall Ward - can't they price match? Also, if you are the account holder don't you get 10% commission on orders?

I am not someone who really originally expected to get a laptop at this price but I am now angry as they are clearly lying to people to sort out there own mess, surely this must be fraud to take someones money and then send you a letter telling you that the bank refused the card, when in fact they have your money, confused

Yep me too. I do not understand why companies need to lie.

They never told me it was a misprice until a few hours ago.

All I got was a letter saying my bank declined the money when they didn't even try!

Okay

so i was winding you all up and didn't get a laptop.

I am one of the poor people that all you lot keep ringing and bugging us, and shouting down the phone at LXDirect, it's not our fault so there is no need to keep on at us.

You didn't get your cheep laptops, that were a mis-description and you never will!

Hard luck

Well its laptop (£579) - 25% = 434.25 with FREE software of your choice.
So if you manage to sale the Vista at about 150 on ebay it will be practically
284.25

See my previous post... I called and confirmed this

Also you can not apply any quidco/other voucher on top of that...

I've no doubt I'm missing something, but I can't find the £579 laptop on their website at all. Can only see £649 and that already includes vista. (PR4477) In any case, won't the activation key for the vista be needed for the machine purchased, and thus make it unsaleable?

Found this on this very website that none of us seemed to have bothered searching:

Can you force a shop to sell you goods if you see them mistakenly under-priced?



No, sorry. If they’re mis-priced the shop can refuse to sell you them. There is no contract until it has accepted the cash. Before that point they can refuse (and if it is on the internet even if they have accepted that case, it can argue using the Law of Mistake that the transaction isn’t finalised). However, you can report them for misleading prices to the trading standards office. See extra briefing on Misleading Prices.

If you do work for LXDirect then people have a right to ring up you poor people and complain, bug, annoy and moan but in reality your a wind up merchant (and a poor one at that) :rotfl:

Well they do seem to have accepted our cash and I ordered one over the phone. Dont quite understand the bit in brackets about the Law of Mistake. We really do need Trading Standards to look into this.
