Argos misprice! 28inch TV outfit, £0.49 [CLOSED]

Binxy

I've tried searching for previous misprices and haven't had much luck.

Is it hit and miss? I mean - what are the chances of a human being spotting the error?

I once ordered some PS2 speakers for £50 from a certain other company (daren't say who!) and they sent me a new ps2 instead! How they managed that I don't know - invoice and everything said speakers.

I'm rambling. My point is - mistakes happen/get ignored - maybe it's possible with this................. Please everyone don't order like 50 or something and draw their attention to it! :rolleyes:

Be clear about this. They cannot charge you more than they said on the website without your agreement. As per their T&C's they will either a) ring to let you know of the pricing error and give you the option to cancel or proceed at the higher price or b) not notice and let you have the product at the advertised price. The chance of the latter is 0% given the amount of people ordering in the last 30 minutes will easily show up on the system.

There is no way they will not notice the error when they see a massive jump in the sales of this product

I ordered just the one as well. I think this way you have far more of a chance than trying to be greedy and get loads!

given there is a 21 day lead time for delivery, it is highly unlikely they're not going to spot this misprice

modgit

ordered, thanks, hope they honour it!!

YEP.. I agree, the 21 day wait .. whilst 2000mse people order it.. and some of them in quantities of 100, will stop it ever getting anywhere.

Its a 99.9999% certainty.

Argos wouldnt even be able to get the stock if they wanted in that volume

I agree with Searcher2, theres no way they can charge you more without permission, they'd just cancel the order. But the will most certainly spot all these sudden orders out of the blue, so I doubt we will get it....but it was fun trying!

I'm sorry I have to disagree! We've had experience of Argos before and there is a 100.000000% certainty that they won't sell at this price!
What they will have is a lot of staff busy cancelling orders today and tomorrow though - especially those where people ordered 100 as I'm sure they will have.
Has anyone called them up yet to check whether 49p is the correct price

And imagine if you didn't go for it, and 3 weeks later all those MSE'rs were saying "Yay! I got it for £5.44!"

I'd shoot myself :rotfl:
