Good luck, they dont HAVE to sell to you if its a genuine mistake or error....

You can demand, stamp your feet, spit your dummy out and rant and rave all you like. Retailers are covered just as much as the purchasers...

Im going to be VERY surprised if you get them now.

No, they would be losing millions if they honoured all these requests, and even if a computer system tried without the error getting spotted, they wouldnt have the stock.

That said, you have nothing to lose, im sure you will get a refund ok.
