Techair Houston Laptop Case - Possible Misprice £29.97 [CLOSED]

http://www.currys.co.uk/product.php?sku=470655

Thought this was a cheap price for a Techair case, and Currys have the normal price as £49.99 which I'm pretty sure is wrong.

dabs.com have it for £68.66 and it's £73 here

If you have an Egg card, go through their cashback link for a further 17.5% off to bring it down to £24.74! (though you will have to wait until Bank Holiday Monday to get that)

    I have one of the TecAir bags and it's the best bag I've had for my laptop. Picked that one up at PC World about a year ago half price.

    This one seems a very good price, the TecAir site lists it at £89.99 as do the fist couple of results on Kelkoo. Even PC World are still charging £59.99.

    Out of interest Dixons also have it at the sale price of £29.97, again with £6.99 postage.
  • I need a case but i'm unsure about the price. I know none of these come cheap... so.. There is a promo code available 5% + 1.5% R points. See on/off line vouchers section
  • Anyone know if its available in store at the reduced price?

    I shouldn't mention this rteally but you I think it's appropriate as you've jsut mentioned rpoints.

    There's a 2% rebate available elsewhere, pm me. Only an extra .5% but hey. The information will be useful to you in the long run.

    I'm thinking of buying one of these myself.

    As per my first post I think the website has got the incorrect starting price so it is £20 off less of a price than it should be. I suspect that it was £69.98 originally and someone in the web team has taken £20 off the original price plus added a £20 discount (so £40 off the original price in effect) :)

    but you can't use any of those other sites and still get the Egg 17.5% off, so if you have an Egg card you would be worse off by 15.5% ;)

    These cases are just ABS Plastic not polycabonate...

    With a foam line insider and a standard breifcase type top.

    Not a metal case I thought it was aluminium from some of the photos.
