    I walked out as I think that this difference should be on display .

    If the correct price had been displayed, I would have walked straight out of the shop.

    I do agree with your original point, but you're a hard one to please!

    I went to possibly order this yesterday but the offer has been discontinued. The price is now over £250!

    I don't agree. The 2 statements go together. The correct price should have been displayed. I assume that CFW hopes that you will still go ahead with the purchase at the higher price but that is more than I am willing to pay for this phone so I didn't buy it.

    Showing at £199 today :)

    (Possible cashback with quidco/TCB ??, haven't checked)


    Searching all Samsung galaxy phones does show a blue S3 mini out of stock with £259 crossed through and £199 showing. The one with the "Linksave offer" icon seems to be in stock (at £199). Strange.

    I will look again. I first found the higher price very early today but only on my ipod so thought I was missing something due to smaller screen. I tried again on my PC at work and also clicked on the link from your previous message but could only see the higher price. Your link gave me an error message.

    I have just looked again and found it. Will probably order this eve. I like the way that it can be collected from the local store as I have one very near me.
