Bargains! Network Sale Time - The complete Avengers for a Tenner!

[SiHart]

Good luck guys. Hope you get them- it's a great set and an absolute steal at that price.

[Antony Cox]

The link doesn't seem to work now - shame cos I would have had that for a tenner!

[SiHart]

Back up to £99.99 now it seems.

[MacNimon]

It's a mistake!

We're sorry to inform you that we will not be able to fulfil your order for The Avengers: 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Box Set. An automated program mispriced this item so it appeared on the website at the incorrect price of £9.99.

When a mispricing takes place we will often honour the deal. However in this case the price difference is too large to make that feasible; £9.99 is a significantly lower than the price it costs us to obtain this item from the appropriate distributor. We have therefore cancelled your order. We apologise for your inconvenience and confirm that we have not charged your credit or debit card or, if you paid by PayPal that will be refunded asap.

Can't say I'm surprised, though...

Well I contacted customer service and have heard f-all, not even what you have had Kenny

[Nyder]

I've not heard a dickie-bird from them either :-/

I've also had an e-mail from PayPal confirming that my payment has been refunded.

Oh well, never mind. You know what they say about things looking too good to be true...and I suppose a 95% discount falls into this category...

[Si Hunt]

I had no idea that the rules around a retailer honoring an offered sale price, especially when payment has been taken, were exempt when it cost them too much.

Si.

[Nyder]

Still not heard 'owt from them either way...

[Andrew Curnow]

I would think they may be on shaky ground if they've actually taken payment - from long ago legal textbooks, when you buy something you actually make "an invitation to treat" which the supplier can decline or accept if they want. Network maybe have accepted by taking people's money?

[Dirk Gently]

Although I would agree with you, Andrew, it does depend on where a company is based. Even those websites that look to be based in the UK can in fact be based in another country. Therefore our laws won't apply.

Network are having a Spy Series Sale. Seriously tempted by The Persuaders Special Edition. Well I'll need something for my Sunday nights when I've finished Thriller

OK, having heard nothing at all for 10 days my patience ran out. E-mailed them again and waved a Paypal Transaction dispute at them. Have now answered and offered a refund.

[Jonno]

Some good bargains on the BBC Shop until midday tomorrow - I've got The Moonbase DVD and an Ice Warrior figure for £8 total.

[Nyder]

Ooh thanks for the heads-up Jonno. As its Cyber Monday, I bought Tenth Planet & Moonbase for £10.98. Hoorah!

Hurrah!

[Dirk Gently]

I got The Mind of Evil, The Ark, The Face of Evil & The Tenth Planet all for less than £20.

[Jonno]

Wow - does that complete your collection Tim?

[Dirk Gently]

No, I've got too many to get to say on a Doctor Who forum.

[MacNimon]

The BBC Shop is closing down at the end of March, which means many bargains can be found...up to 80% off some products...some (but not too many!) DW DVDs available for around the £3 mark!
