These things never go ahead. You'll receive a "Sorry, but we can not fulfill your order due to..." email eventually. All that hope for nothing.  |

Its the typical approach that they all take.
They will send an email stating that they made a mistake and would you like the money back.
98% say "oh ok then... bummer"
2% say: "No thanks .. you have taken my order / its legally binding / f its now out of stock I will accept a similar item." etc etc.
Its worked for me every time (ish).
Same in the shops ... they price it wrong, till says the real price.. you kick up a fuss and get the price they advertised (while some lackey scurrys around the store replacing the prices).
And its no real biggie having hope ... wont rock my world if it doesnt happen ... will just accept my money back after a little fight.
But if it works then I sell them on ebay and make a nice little profit ... which will buy me a new set of Alpinestar Tech 10's  ____________________ There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship" more than wrinkles in the Gaffa tape.

See, I'd imagine they'd be far more inclined to investigate matters if suddenly their stock of the most expensive graphics card goes from 1000 to 0. Thanks to greedy fucks.
P.S Yes I ordered one, I just doubt anything will happen.  |

The 'other' companys are all Dell resellers .. they get their live prices directly from Dell Thats the downfall of automated systems ... the snowball just keeps getting bigger.
I am under no illusion about the fact that Dell will try the age old "there is a problem with your order" ... so dont give up straight away ... put up a little fight.
Then when you cant be bothered to waste any more time on it (Eastenders may be on or something), simply get your £12 back.
As I said at the start .. its worth a punt.
I am just throwing you BCF dogs a bone or two, thats all

Two ordered, one for me and one for my brother. If they try to dishonour the agreement I'll certainly give them a run for their money.  ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

They don't HAVE to sell you anything due to it being incorrectly priced, they just have to make sure that they alter the price appropriately when the issue is brought to their attention (less they be committing offences such as false advertisement.) ____________________ Peugeot Speedfight 2 - Honda VFR400 - Honda CB500 |
