Just read their pricing policy:

While we try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund

Homebase

What it doesn't say though is if they have delivered the goods and then discover error whether they can cancel. Might be worth paying the extra £2.95 for next day delivery.

Found this under T&C

2.3 Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on dispatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it (please refer to Returns and refunds).

My guess is they (Homebase/Argos) are ging to be very embarrassed by this. IF we STICK TOGETHER we should get the goods. Must be almost a hundred of us ordered now - we only need one lawyer! In reality the whole thing would be cheaper for them to honour the sales surely? These items probably only cost them a £100 apiece - therefore 100 x 100 = £10000 - cheap to avoid publicity and loss of customers, goodwill etc.
What do you all think?

Yes i have ordered 1 only to see really could do with this a real bargain,Argos usually comes up trumps so fingers crossed,I also agree with save4arainyday that we should all stick together and perhaps get Martin in on this to guide us along,I am real need so i would be counted in!

You can't do that with this TV - its 21 day delivery.
As for the number of orders it's probably about £200 per telly they'd lose, and there are probably 5-10,000 orders by now (what with this and the Argos thread and EVERY Ebayer trying to buy 50) so their losses could be more like £1m-£2m which is much less likely to be honoured.
As for avoiding publicity by buying us off - this is GREAT publicity - you just stick a spokesman on Watchdog who says "our prices are ALWAYS great, but not THAT great" - big cheesy grin and massive free publicity. ARG won't give a stuff about those customers who don't get this deal - there's thousands more out there.
