Been keeping an eye on one of your 1080.

Price now says: 749.99 WAS 869.99

Been keeping an eye on it for a few weeks now, and until now, it was 799.99, not exactly the discount that is being advertised.

Bummer.
 
OCUK forums are not run by OCUK staff, it's a public discussion board mostly moderated by individuals with too much time on thei- er, by very nice individuals.

Maybe it was 869.99 before 799.99? I don't understand why you're bummed about the "former" price, just look at the sale price and decide if it's good. It's a fairly standard marketing technique, certain high street retailers literally raise the price for 3 weeks before applying the "discount".
 
It's also got a whole bunch of legislation around how long it needs to be at the higher price etc, just because most retailers get away with it doesn't make it not disappointing to see.

That said I agree entirely that you look at the price not the 'saving'!

Have you signed up to the forum's just to moan ?
 
Are you are right, silly post... perhaps next time they should just leave the price as is and put a higher price behind it. No point putting actual reductions when you can fake them ;)
Just a thought,would it be better to speak to the shop instead of here as we have no dealings with the shop :)

It was explained in reply #1, I would have preferred to email but seeing as they don't leave an email address but a link for the forums, I guess I was blindly brought here ;)
 
Figured there was a section in the forums for shop issues, can't remember.

Either way, look at the price,compare it elsewhere, see which is better

Done :)
