The price displayed is still at 49p.....surely they have had time to fix it.....I know it makes no difference but I am taking screen dumps with times on

Well, I have placed my order, but am not convinced they'll honour this one. Maybe if it was something (a lot) cheaper they may have done.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone been debited, because a friend of mine works for a very VERY large internet retail site and told me that as soon as they debit your card the contract is binding and they cannot go back....apparently....

surely this is just too good to be true????? :beer:

I think Argos only reserve the funds from your account, it's not actually taken until despatch.
I ordered one and there is a difference of £5.44 between balance and available balance.

Someone did R&R and the price came up at £349.99.

These "errors" always seem to pop up at weekends so they aren't rectified for a few days.
I think the saying goes "any publicity is good publicity", a cheap way to get Argos noticed?

Well i can't say it will stop me buying from argos.
It's a blatant error really, that we're trying to make the most of.
Not like a certain retailer who mucked up on a genuine offer on play equipment.
