Ok goater, I take it back, it's good publicity for them and they will doubtless be happy. I find your comment stupid. And it's 'their customers' by the way.

You know when someone has lost the argument on MSE when they are reduced to correcting spelling mistakes. It's prerogative not perogative BTW!

The earlier posters are missing the point here

There is an awfully big difference between missing the point and not agreeing with the point.

I don't think it would have been too much of a stretch for PCW to honnour the price I was given.

And it's honour by the way.

You may well be right that the price has been hiked based on the fact that Comet have gone bust, but it is common for retailers to reduce the price based on competitor pressures. Once the competitor is gone, no reason for the lower price.

Also, it may be some supplier funded offer where Currys get a rebate based on the amount of sales within the qualifying period.
