imagine it was just a publicity ploy, they set aside 100 tellys to give away for 49p each knowing it could make the papers and would get thousands of people onto
the website

Just been doing some reading on consumer rights, basicly what they say is if you have purchased the said item and the money has been payed out then the agreement with you and the seller is complete, it is now upto the seller to carry out his part of the agreement.
ie, deliver my fookin TV

Been talking about this on scoobynet aswell, one the replies was....
It was on Heart FM earlier today.
They said the link is now dead and that Homebase are looking into it.
Not sure if they meant looking into the dead link or looking into it being priced at 49p.
Cheers

The company can choose not to deliver your item and refund the cash.

A couple of quotes from the Argos & Homebase T&C's as posted on the other boards.
Quote:
2.2 The 'confirmation' stage sets out the final details of your order. Following this, we will send to you an order acknowledgement e-mail detailing the products you have ordered. Please note that this e-mail is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from Homebase.
2.3 Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on dispatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it (please refer to Returns and refunds).
and
Quote:
"While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund."

ARGOS and Homebase were swamped with orders yesterday after their websites offered a 28in TV and DVD recorder for just 49p.
But thousands of people who had orders confirmed were later sent emails saying they will get nothing.
The Bush equipment should have cost £350. But a mistake was made while keying in prices on the websites.
Some shoppers bought up to 80 each. IT student Matthew Waine, 19, from the Isle of Man held a party for mates to make bulk orders
He said: “By the time I found out about it I discovered 300 people had ordered TVs.”
Last night the firm that owns Argos and Homebase apologised. It said: “We regret we will be unable to fulfil the orders.”

Just got this e-mail
Bush 28" Widescreen Integrated TV & DVD Recorder
I refer to your order for the above product and thank you for placing an order with Homebase.co.uk.
Unfortunately there were was an accidental error on the price shown on our website for this product during the period from midnight on 27th August to 0700 on 28th August, which caused the product to be advertised for £0.49 rather than the correct price of £349.99. This error has now been rectified and in accordance with Condition 4.2 of our Website Terms I am writing to advise you of this problem.
We have therefore had to reject all orders placed at the incorrect price in accordance with Condition 2.3 of our Website Terms and conditions and with regret we cannot accept your order.
On behalf of Homebase I apologise for the inconvenience caused and can assure you that we have initiated the refund process and where any charges have been debited to your payment card, they will be fully refunded as soon as possible.
Thank you again for your custom with Homebase.
Yours faithfully
