JBL Black Friday "Mistake"

    I bought a soundbar from the JBL website on Black Friday - a great deal £799 down to £60.99.

    Considering that it was Black Friday where retailers make a small number of headline grabbing discounts and the fact that other itens were heavily discounted, >60%, such a discount whilst large, is not unheard of.
    I'm no expert in the soundbar market, but does that actually seem plausible in this case? What is the cheapest price that the same product is available for elsewhere?
    Two of their lesser similar products in the same range retailing at a much higher price are a clear giveaway
    If they are giving high priced items away, then the OP has a chance :D

    This is fairly common ground for pricing errors, retailer cancels, people talk about contracts being  and potential legal action etc. it's a clear mistake, at best you might get a good will discount code off them but unlikely they will honour it.
