    Looking at other forums it seems that they got a few thousand graphics card orders, so I'm wondering if they actually generated unique codes for everyone or just handed out the same code.

    Does the free delivery code appear to be a random code? Perhaps those of you who got codes could post, for example, the first 3 digits of the code so we can determine if they're unique.

    Cheers :)

    Mine starts CB42DA5E if that's any help? :confused:

    I got the stock email and voucher code too....... damn!worth a go though!

    I NOTE THAT THEY HAVENT REFUNDED MY PAYPAL PAYMENT THOUGH!! GRRRRR! NO MENTION OF IT IN THEIR STOCK EMAIL EITHER DOUBLE GRRRRR :mad:


    Sorry to hear that, but let me just give you a word of advice for future reference if I may ... if you come across this sort of offer again, it's better to offer payment by credit card if possible then it doesn't tie up any personal funds if they try to charge you, plus you have added protection with a credit card. I know not everyone has a CC though, and I've only recently got one myself due to finding out the benefits of having one via MSE, so apologies if you you're not in a position to use one.

    If they've taken money from your Paypal account, isn't there an option for performing a chargeback, or so I believe in certain circumstances involving Ebay transactions, otherwise it might be a case of sitting it out until they refund you :confused:

    Thanks! If one more person could post the first few digits of their code that'd be appreciated. That code fragment looks pretty random to me, it's a long shot, but worth checking :)

    I was looking for a cheap DVD RW - found one on Misco, then found the same one on http://www.littlebush.com/ for £9 less (20%) inc VAT.

    I know it might be a one-off, and I've never heard of littlebush before, but it's just a reminder that if the vendor says something is cheap / reduced it doesn't mean it isn't cheaper somewhere else!

    Best wishes all :money:
    Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.

    Thanks codeye, ah well, looks like the codes are unique and most likely one-use-only.

    Same here got the " Unfortunately we have received an overwhelming response" and code. Worth a go though. I wish they wouldnt lie though and just tell the truth, But it did say liquidation stock as well so there was a small chance .

    Looks like a certain misprice to me but I've always avoided Misco's so called "too good to be true deals" because I've always thought that they would use this to drive traffic to their site, then pull the "sorry, because demand was SOOOOO high....." trick.
