Page 1 of Samsung 28in Pure Flat Widescreen TV for only £33 + delivery????

It seems that this is the only place on the internet that hasn`t been told about this.

Clearly a price error but everyone seems to be getting emails confirming the order and notifying the purchaser that the money has been taken AND it is a direct from supplier item so there`s an outside chance that the supplier will have already shipped some of these items by the time Ebuyer calls a halt to it.

Please note - stock levels of this item are all over the shop - it might say out of stock one minute and 100 in stock the next. This is also evidenced by the fact that some of you will get a stock warning email followed by an order confirmed email 30 minutes later (as their system reattempts to allocate stock to you every 30 minutes or so).

Good luck - although it`s a highly unlikely bargain to come to fruition, nothing ventured nothing gained...

Already pulled! :(

I managed to order one before it was pulled. Had confirmation email money taken from account. Just have to wait and see. :)

Likewise, wife and I ordered one each and have confirmation e-mail.

According to T&C that is then a legally binding contract, however in later paragraph, it does state that pricing error etc may result in supplier contacting buyer and asking for confirmation of product at higher price or cancellation of order.

I am assuming that once the money is taken and confirmation e-mail sent, then they are obliged to sell at that price. I am not sure the get out clause is strictly legal but no doubt they will try to envoke it.

Has anyone else an opinion on this?

The get out clause is legal, I`m afraid :(

You and I know both know this is a pricing error - there`s no ambiguity like there was with, say, the Kodak camera a couple of years back. They are not obliged to send the goods at that price (ie they reject your invitation to treat - pay £33) and thus can refuse to supply it.

Like everything else, worth a try and yes it was a seemingly apparent pricing error although there is an arguement that this may have been a Special Price and as such accepted in good faith.

I wouldn`t bang on about it if it was rejected, after all it`s attempting to take advantage of a low price and if it paid off, fine, but if I`d paid a higher price for the TV than other places were selling it at, then that would have been my tough luck, so when the boots on the other foot......

The other point is it`s Ebuyer and whilst they used to be a good place to oder from a couple of years back, then their standards have fallen recently, so you are tempted to have less symapathy for them than other firms.

If they take payment and confirm the order is that a legally binding contract?
I would have thought so :/

Anyway worth a go. :D

Checked the order. It`s at the `pick in progress` stage. That means the oder has gone to the warehouse prior to despatch. I can`t cancel it nor alter delivery eddress etc.The nesxt stage from that is `In transit.` Normally this happens on the day before delivery is due, although they are quoting 10th as delivery date. It may be that the orders will slip thro` the net before remidial action is taken by Ebuyer. I can`t imagine management will be in before Monday and then they will need a meeting, which knowing half the firms these days, will take the best part of the morning up inbetween tea breaks and lunch.

Legally, I am bound to say I think once you have the order confirmation and money has changed hands, then theres a contract at that price albeit a possible pricing error has occurred.

Unsuprisingly:

Some you win...

Before we get into a debate, I`d like to point out that users on the MSE forums are already shouting "lawsuit!" and "watchdog!", as expected. I suggest we just let them continue to fight over the scraps and move onto the next bargain to be found in an orderly and civilised manner - afterall, we knew it was a long shot at the outset and, to be fair to EBuyer, they are at least being upfront and honest about the situation.
