Default Buying online >>> Bargain!! lol

If you buy something online that is marked up at a certain price do they have to sell it to you? Even if its a mistake!

Look at this ...

That deals not as good as it sounds. You gotta pay bloody Ł5 delivery charge. What a con. The delivery is 5 times the price of the item.

The Kodak price mistake fiasco 2002

In January 2002, Kodak, refused to honour orders for a digital camera advertised on their website at a Ł100, even though in some cases consumers received confirmation of their orders, relying on firstly, their standard terms on the site, which were the terms of sale which state that Kodak had the right to change the content of the website at any time including prices; secondly, the defence of mistake in English law which makes a contract void and thirdly, that the display of price-marked goods wherever the display is, is not an offer to sell goods but, is an invitation to a customer to make an offer to buy ( 'an invitation to treat'). Eventually, Kodak surrendered and honoured orders. It was estimated by the Financial Times that Kodak's losses were several million.
Best of luck, everyone!

Although not definite proof, I'd say this is close enough! Lot of work for a scammer to go to to get all of that right!

I think that those that have ordered 50 should share them with fellow PF'ers!! (IF you get them of course, which I bet 49p you don't!!)
