If they turn out to be 14" - I'll have 2 off you for my caravan.  You can keep one as a door stop.  :y

my bro ordered 4 of the fox ones at a quid each and 50 of the OZ Gemini ones, paying by paypal, he'd lose £4 max, gave his landline number, told me to answer if they happen to ring, assuming they'll ring saying they cant fulfil the order, i'll try to at least blag the 4 that he genuinely paid for, i believe they might have a legal obligation to sell at the listed price

No, as I suspect their smallprint says that the sale is not agreed until dispatch, or similar wording...    ...the listed price is an offer of sale, not a legal requirement.  Even if they did legally enter a sale, if they can prove the price is obviously a mistake, they have a get out...

i also notice they have an order cancellation charge too

Now could i be right to suspect that when they contact you to tell you they will not sell at the price you paied, do they cancel the transaction and slap the charge on unless you agree to pay the correct price?

(hence the reason I got my brother to do it!)

they've taken the prices off.... im not a legal eagle but i did contract law at college; so off the top of my head:

their price on the net is the offer price ; you pay... that is your acceptance of the offer..... therefore a contract is created; technically (esp if you were in the states) you could have them fulfill or give equal replacements but in the real world they could just say someone hacked their site so the price on the net was not their offer.... so no contract; they refund you and say sorry.... end of.

would be good if 54 alloys turned up at your door!

There was a similar upcock on, I think, the Curry's website last year where widescreen TV's were for sale at £0.99 or similar.  I ordered 4 (not being too greedy) and got an e-mail two days later referring me to the small print on the website with the magic letters E & O E - Errors and Ommissions Excepted - which negated their requirement to supply at the quoted price......

Hope it turns out good for you all though!!   :y

Yes, the wriggle out clause.


I used this against British Gas once. They sent me an estimated bill for £183. I didn't pay. They sent me a reminder, I didn't pay. They sent me a final demand, I didn't pay. They then threatened to take me to court at which point I reminded them that I was self employed and would be claiming all costs for loss of earnings if they did as I would defend this successfully. It was an estimated bill. Which means they guessed. They guessed or estimated that I owed them £183. I guessed or estimated that I owed them F**K all.

They read the meter about a week later and it turned out they were indeed wrong. I actually owed them £214. :(

I made them wait for the final demand though - just because I could.

this is why I made my brother do it and not me, no loss for me, and no more than £4 loss for my brother!

I very much doubt they'll arrive, but as said, always sellable!
