First of all, I'm new to the forum, so appologies if this is posted in the wrong place...
I was lookinf for a new watch and was trying to find info and the best price on one in particular, a fossil bg2130. Putting the make and model into Google gives the usuallist of suppliers. The top sponsored link is for Amazon, the link clearly reading BG2130 £38. Brilliant thinks I, and clicks on the link, which takes me to the Amazon web site for the correct watch, but for £62.....
Should I be pushing Amazon to sell me this at the much lower advertised price? Thanks for any advice.

I don't think it's worth chasing up Amazon as I can't see them doing anything about it tbh. How about grabbing the watch from Goldsmiths instead as they're offering it for £37.50 + £4.95 postage.0

I'm just guessing here but aren;t a lot of google's text links etc 'archived' and thus not always an accurate snapshot of the site that day?0

The text in sponsored links is normally supplied by the sponsor as part of the Adwords program. The text should be correct, Amazon are taking the mickey or have an old Adword campaign still running that has been forgotten about.0
