ya sorry my mistake :rolleyes: guess i just got over excited!:rolleyes:

monkeyfudge

Ha. Out of stock already.

Will be interesting to see if they honnor this.

Thanks for this alert. I just bought one myself. However, now I'm beginning to think I rushed in - this might not be the monitor for me as it is VGA. I don't have this input on my new desktop - surely I should be buying DVI or USB only? Even if I can convert VGA to digital, surely I'm losing out anyway on resolution etc etc?

Any comments?

It says DVI on the site.

In the title. But further down on the product information it says VGA. Looks like there are a few mistakes about.

Yeah it says 8ms in the title and then 16ms in the spec

they have to, if you get an email receipt with €29.38 on it then they can't go back on it.

Not a chance. Happens all the time with DVD misprices. And i Doubt they'll let 260euro x many times slide by. Would be nice of them if they did tho

Ruu_Old

Worth a try I suppose. Not very likely they will honour it.

ronbyrne2005

Worth a try but they aint even in stock judging by email i got. If they were ready to go from warehouse it might slip under radar but not due in stock untill 1st march

The price is wrong, it's £139 on komplett.co.uk

I doubt they will honor it.but if your not in you can't win!

Creamy Goodness

once they take the money off you they can't go back on it.

with the way komplett works they'll send you an order confirmation first then only charge once the goods are shipped. they'll notice the huge pricing error and the sheer volume of them ordered and probably won't honour it, that being said it's worth a try

Nope... they can refund you. I went down this road with Apple over a year ago when they grossly miss priced a Digital SLR camera.

I stuck a 500GB hard drive that I've been meaning to get on my order along with this monitor... I wonder if that will throw them.

Fnz

2 pcs estimated shipping on 2007-03-01

The Roach

I noticed these when ordering RAM earlier and decided to chance my arm too. Just checked my order status there, it's coming up as "Confirmed" with an estimated shipping date of today!

Here's hoping.....

god's toy

HA! thats priceless! (eh, get it?) it's a wonder it's not all over the Komplett forum already, cant wait to see how they deal with this one... you may find delivery being €150!:eek:

I remember the old Komplett.ie deals where you did get loads off and you knew you got a real deal, if only they would return.

yeah my order has been rejected as well.
Never really expected them to honour it. But if you're not in

aphex™

This happened before and Komplett didn't honor it.

They don't take the money from the card until they ship either. :rolleyes:

Wasting your time lads, don't get worked up over it when they reject you.

monkeyfudge

The person responsible has been spoken to? I feel bad now.

mickjohnlong

its back up to 219 now on the site

"Needless to say, the person responsible has been spoken to"

I don't think there was any need to say this. Poor business sense imo.

My thoughts as well.

monkeyfudge

Back in my graphic design days I got in trouble for miss-pricing a gas strimmer with the price of an electric strimmer. Apparently one costs about €100 more than another.

BlackWizard

Ah sure humans ain't perfect. Typos happen.

Deadlocked

Damn it.

Got the same email. I had ordered 6 when there was 15 in stock.

Any point in complaining?

dubmick

maybe if you had of just ordered one!

Six is a bit greedy :eek:

I actually would need at least 4 of em. And would of sold on two.

monkeyfudge

Bah... they canceled my whole order. It wasn't the only thing I had purchased.

Actually... what was this about on the order:
"Power Cable Notebook 3-pin 2m (UK)
w/fuse (Mickey Mouse)"

Mickey Mouse? Perhaps this whole thing was done on purpose by a disgruntled staff member.

Deadlocked

Its a thing for converting From American to European electrics.

The Roach

Hmmm, I got the same email this morning about them cancelling my order, but I've just received one saying they're shipping the order and it has a tracking number and everything.....

I'm going to try not to get my hopes up, but maybe.....

Poop on it anyway!!!

ye its gone outta the weekly offers what a pity that i didnt spot this before hand

Liam Byrne

I thought all retailers had to honour advertised prices ? I'd follow up on this if I were ye.

Mistake or no mistake (and s**t does happen) but if they'd advertised a higher price than intended and you'd bought it they wouldn't be "cancelling your order".

It was a pricing mistake.
Nobody received any,all orders were cancelled.
You wouldnt have got one .

Of course they don't.

No, they'd be refunding your credit card. Komplett are a professional company not a bunch of cowboys. If they were advertising a higher price people wouldn't be ordering 6 at a time and then wondering if they should complain when the price isn't honoured :rolleyes:

Liam Byrne

I think it's a grey area....here's why.

From the ODCA website:

---

8<

---

The consumer does not have an automatic right to the product at the lower price. A price indication is what's called an "invitation to treat" and it does not oblige the seller to sell at the price marked.

If the consumer is advised of the correct price before purchasing, they are not entitled to the goods at the lower price.

If a wrong price is marked on an item this must be pointed out to the customer before the transaction takes place.

---

8<

---

The page that this is on indicates that it "also applies to goods sold by mail order, catalogue based sales, and goods purchased from the Internet in Ireland."

But when you pay by Credit Card on the 'net, when does the transaction take place ? When you click "Submit", or later, when the order is being fulfilled ?

And why did Aer Lingus or RyanAir (whichever it was) honour the €1 price thing last week ?

I'm not saying that I want anyone to get hung for a typo, just curious as to where the legislation draws the line. And just to be clear, I'm not singling out Komplett or dragging them into disrepute - like I said, it was a genuine type.
