Iomega 1TB External HDD £19.95

Quick update. The Trading Standards people phoned me yesterday and said Apple are in breach of contract and I should take it to the small claims court if I wish to pursue the issue (which I won't bother doing).

biglugs, please re-read my post, I said

"Apple are allowed to change their minds about selling products if they want"

My point was, I dont think we can complain too much if we were trying to take advantage of an obvious mistake and got caught out.
Karma and all that.......

Those who bought large quantities hoping to make money out of Apple's mistake by selling them on ebay will now find Apple trying to profit a little bit by holding off refunding the money. I guess if you complain they will just argue that they are processing more refunds than usual so it will take a little longer.

Dont get me wrong, I would normally fight for the underdog, I have no loyalty to Apple and still begrudge the £169.00 I paid for an iPod I hardly ever use, but looking at previous posts, I think it was quite obvious where this was going right from the start.

If someone had approached you in the high street with a bin liner containing a Brand NEW, still in original packaging "Iomega 1TB External HDD", for £19.95 instead of the usual retail price of approx £200, you would have paused for thought, so why should it be any different because it's being sold online?

If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Now that's a common-sense post. Thanks for putting it into perspective for those who lost sight of what was happening. I agree with you whole-heartedly.

Anyone who went for this surely new the score - let's be reasonable here!
