    Bargain at a shade off 25 million!
    Don't bother getting the larger one for £300, it's clearly rubbish :P

    A trick employed by some online retailers to keep their advertising going even when they are awaiting new stock. The fact that people are talking about shows how effective it is.

    Rug Sellers are known for this.

    I read an article about this, it's to do with algorithmic pricing gone wrong: Amazon’s $23,698,655.93 book about flies

    Bargain is an understatement!

    How much is the shipping though? They always get you on the shipping. :mad:

    Should someone not inform the Government to purchase a dozen of these as gifts. At this price, it is likely one of their better decisions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Anyone got a lend of €647.50. Thats all I'm short.

    14 Sep 2011 A Lot of rug for a little price !
    By Lord Manstrum ForQuart the 3rd
    I needed a rug for outside the front door for people to wipe their wellington boots after a day at the races. Haw haw!

    Spiffingly good rug I say. Very good value too!

    3 out of 3 found this helpful [\quote]

    Obviously good value!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,994 ✭✭✭Polar101


    I've been looking for a good brown rug for just under 25 million, finally found one - but the £9.95 shipping put me off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,191 ✭✭✭NewApproach


    This isn't a bargain. Wrong thread

    This rug used to be twice that price, actually. So yeh, it is.

    Not sure if serious or making a rug joke.

    Just had this delivered, well worth the money. It really ties the room together.

    I was hoping it would qualify for free shipping as it's over £25, but if it doesn't say Free Super Saver Delivery I think we'll have to pay the full £9.95.

    At least Amazon are normally quick at delivering!

    Ah amazon price difference will kick in, will be due a nice refund now ;)

    A few weeks ago, I wanted to buy an old Twinkle Annual for my daughter on Amazon and there was one for sale at €100,000! I shuddered to think what would have happened if I had accidentally bought it without noticing the price (i.e assumed it was the same price as the others that were advertised on the same page!).
    The price returned to normal the following day.

    I must find out how to get a snapshot of these pages when they appear!

    What would they know about rugs?

    (PrtScn Alt PrtScn or Win7 Snipping Tool will also do most of what you need without any download.)

    Btw Watch out for the customs on this
