creative nomad zen 60gb mp3 for £122 [CLOSED]

I have bought a Creative Nomad Zen 60gb (yes 60gb) mp3 player from the Creative website.

It is listed at £299 on the website,but i rang the order number,and it's £122 inc postage.

Item info here,http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/product.asp?prod=541

These payers are about £195 from ebay,so this is a bargain.

Give them a ring to see if the offer is still available 0800 376 7954.

Even the phone number is free.

I forgot to mention...it's free postage also !!!!!

You can't go wrong,but i did wait until mine has been dispatched before posting this Grabbit.

    Just rang and officers are closed. Do you know why the web price is different.? Is it just a pricing mistake?

    To be honest,i saw them selling the item on ebay for £122 on "buy it now",but it said not to go through the normal checkout system,but to ring the order number instead.

    I have done a search for the item again,but it seems to have dissapeared.

    I just rang them,and said i saw the item on ebay,she asked which item,i told her,and she confirmed the price.

    "Them" being Creative? Selling it themselves on ebay?

    What did you tell her, the model or the ebay item number?

    This seems very odd unless they are refurb units maybe?

    HP sell stuff - mostly refurbs with a limited warranty - usually a year on ebay. It's not that unusual.

    Yes,this is the one!

    I was asked the item number,but i just told her what the item was.

    speedyjoe,were you watching the item also,or did you do a search for the item? as i could not for the life of me find the item listing that you posted,as i had deleted it.

    It did say in the listing that the item is new,but at that price,i wouldn't have minded if it was a refurb.

    Do do you quote the ebay auction number when phoning up, or just the model you want?
    Thanks
