They still have to fulfill the orders at that price don't they? lol

 

[jamesriley94]

Not sure, if you click the link it goes up in price, so not sure if anyone managed to get away with it

 

[yassarikhan786]

Oh right. Then in that case I don't think anyone got away with it. Still funny though

 

[Yeren]

[jamesriley94]

£7.20

 

[Yeren]

[jamesriley94]

No.

If prices are advertised incorrectly
It is against the law for a trader to deliberately give misleading or wrong prices, and they can be prosecuted for doing this.

However, if the price of a product is just simply wrongly labelled you don't automatically get to buy it for that price. For example, if a TV worth £599 has accidentally been labelled as £5.99 you don't, unfortunately, have a right to buy it for £5.99.

Yeh I understand. If there were still cards available, I'd have probably tried my luck in ordering one, but I wouldnt have struck up a fuss if they'd have said no.

Because it was all online though, part of me wonders if they'd have noticed. As in, it would have been an automatic system to pay, and then separate people in P&P to send it out, so people may have got away with it.
I just thought it was quite interesting, wasnt intending for people to exploit the company.

I wouldnt. Quad any GPU if anything is just going to offer the same performance in games as 3 or even 2 gpus. Heck there really is only a little difference from 2 690s and 3 680s.
