    This thread will help you.

    As will this post.

    You might like to make others on that facebook group aware of those.
    Probably best not make people aware on there as it is a open group and people would be able to connect your username here with your real details on FB

    It's basically how to make money from companies making errors. For example if things are scanning for the wrong price at certain supermarkets..

    I consider this a great deal more naughty than Homebase's error. I'm not even going to start on making money without working...

    ... listed wrongly for a price of £0.00...

    The clue's in the above (in bold). You know it's a mistake, yet you want to take advantage. What would happen if you made an honest mistake but the company concerned decided to keep your money?

    Maybe they fence goods from there

    What I want to know is where he would have got big enough wrapping paper?

    Probably would have spent more on buying wrapper paper than the cost of buying the panels for the real price.
    Fence panels as a Christmas present? Just what his parent always wanted!!
