PC World vent

So look online for a Macbook Pro and the first add says Macbook Pro From £699‎, PC World. But the cheapest one they have is £749!
Don't like them anyway but definitely won't be looking there if they do this sort of thing.

    Can't quite understand this vent. Retailers advertise products at a certain price, then run out of stock, it's just one of those things.

    No they haven't run out of stock. It was never there, just a come on.
    >They still list the out of stock items with a "sorry this item is out of stock" label.

    You don't like the Macbook? So, why search and why care what PC world are selling (or not) them at?
    Seems a pointless post, to be honest....

    No it is not the Macbook Pro that I do not like it is PC World!
    I am looking to replace my well used but still working Macbook that is now 9 years old. The only thing I have had to do is replace the battery last year.

    If you go about it the right way, you can easily get that extra £50 knocked off the machine in PC world. So, the price increase isn't really a problem.
    But the point is mute as you don't like them...;)
