went to supermarket today, noticed they had a 30gb archos av500 priced at £87 reduced from £350, went away to ponder then went back 5 minutes later and they had put the price up to £175, damn i thought.Went to the checkout and asked what the crack was, they said they had made a mistake and it should have gone down to half price, not 1/4 price, but coz i'd seen it they would honour the price i saw, so i asked for 2 :D, they said they would only sell me one, fair enough, £87 for a archos av500 = win.
 
Well done...Next time call your friend when you find out such things so they can come along and take all the available ones.
 
suprise they still sold it to you after they corrected their error, the fact that you've seen it makes no difference, lucky boy !
 
it's £175 nationwide i think as it's a supermarket, but as i said, they cocked up the price and i got it half again :D, they are going for ~ £200 on ebay, might just keep it though.

i bought 3 wii recently, when i asked the manager how many i could have, he said as many as i wanted (they had 5 in stock), the girl behind the till said that its meant to be 1 per family, the manager acknowledged this but said that as he had already said i could have more than 1 he would honour it.

cant argue with that :D

sometimes these people are good!
 
i believe if a shop has something of a bad price, they either have to sell it at that price or actually remove the stock for 24hrs or something like that so really they are breaking the law and they know that so they sold you it for the low price bearing in mind they knew you wernt goignt o report them to trading standards etc

Nope, there has been a few threads about similar things before. The advertised price is simply invitation to a treat. They are under no obligation to sell mispriced items, however some shops do honour mis-priced items if it isn't too much of a loss, which is probabaly because they don't want their reputation ruined.

Rubbish. I suggest you do some reading up on the law regarding this ;)

had a similar thing happen about 12 or so years ago, went into Boots and bought a Psion series 3 ( i think it was) markes up wrong for about £80 should have been £200 or £300 etc, i forget, years ago, but i saved a packet.

Lovely jubly

I'd be happy finding a shop with one Wii in it let alone three :)
Nice deal though ;)
