Oh damn. I was going to come back to you saying "you were wrong", but on closer inspection, the word appears on their Home Page. That fooled me. Mybe I'm an old fool, but I would have thought any such ad, ought to ensure that word was highlighted.

No. The price is what I stated once you include VAT and delivery.

As to whether the machine is a 'refurb'...it is clearly marked if you navigate the website for yourself. But as I provided a direct link for you, you didn't get to see the very clear indicators
Should be in very good condition nonetheless.

Shock this morning, my s.i.l. Has come up with a model that appears to be just what he WASNT looking for, a refurb Lenovo, can't wait to question him on this,

Sturdy little machine. At least six years old now. But are you sure that you'd like to move from a 17" screen to a 14" screen?

Everyone can now relax. My son-in-law has been taking on everything that has been said and made a decision, despite wavering overnight, and he has ordered a refurb brought to his attention by Nifty Digits.

So, which one will see the colour of his money?.

It is this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toshiba-L50C-15-6-Inch-Ci3-Intel-I3-2GHz-8GB-2TB-Windows-8-Laptop-Black-/361538812852

It is being delivered to me within 48 hrs (I think).

Question now is, my son-in-law is not due to fly back to UK till early Oct. Do you think I should open the package? test it? etc. I have all their mail and have their permission to open, so opening the laptop won't present a problem. But in the unlikely event that their is something wrong, what then. There will be two months of any warranty gone in any case.

Thanks to those of you that have contributed to this thread, especially Nifty.

So the laptop is not for you. Of course you should test it.
