H Samuel cancelled my order

It's happened to me before. It's a bit of a swizz, but nothing you can do.

Silly though. Your watches were presumably at a reduced price because they weren't selling at the full price. Demand goes up at the reduced price, so they refuse to sell at that price and go back to the original price nobody was prepared to pay. So they are still stuck with those unsold watches.....

It could have been that the supplier was running them at a special cost price. As the cost has now increased, the price has too.

They may have been given say a dozen from their supplier to be sold on a Manufacturers special price, so once them 12 are sold other are put back at full price.

As a retailer, we are given these deals every so often by suppliers, but we can either

1) still sell them at full price therefore ripping off consumers as you have been supplied them at a lower cost.
2) sell what shelve stock we have at full price and then stock the sales goods.
3) remove the shelve stock and then display the sales stock to sell at sale price and then when these are sold, place back the full prices items.

How many times have you been to the supermarket on a Mon, seen something at say £10 that you want and purchase this, then on Wed. you see the same thing at £6 in the same supermarket.

This is business

Relying on an explicit term in the contract to cancel the order is the opposite of a loophole.
