Why is it that shops can increase the price of goods just because the item is selling? Last week i was considering buying a hdd recorder from a top high street store priced at £250 (10 in stock) but I didnt want to pay this so I asked if there were any "deals" available but got a flat "NO". I left the store empty handed. Today i checked the prices again & its now £300 (1in Stock). Can they legally do this? Surely theyre just loosing custom - they have mine.

Well as they have sold at least 9 in the last week, I think you've answered this question yourself! They have not had an issue selling them.0 -

Why would they NOT sell for more money if htey can get ti, if say they had increased those 10 to £300 straight after you left that's an extra £450 revenue made already!!!Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0 -
