He he, they won't be sticking that link on their proud list of links on the
right hand side.

I wish I'd av noticed cos I'd have ordered one... Just like when Argos had
£1 TV's or IBM $1 laptops :-)

politically correct arseholes.

Personally, I've only had good dealings with Komplett. But after
reading that story on the register I'll not be ordering from them
again.

Another a-typical example of uk consumers getting the ****ty end of
the stick, and yet another example of etailers "getting away with
murder" as always.

But from the story they seem to have only two opinions, either someone
highlighted the omission or someone was trying it on. I would agree
with 99% of those but there may well have been 1 or two TCs that
actually believed it was a discount or a stock clearance to get new
items in. I guess the TCs are also the ones who would be offended.

Now what would be the case if in fact it was the description that was wrong
and it was supposed to read as 9200. Would Komplett have been as quick to
cancel all the orders and try and tell their customers they're trying it on?
I think not, they'd be hoping the customer realised the mistake (somehow)
and try and keep them to their order?!

If you understand the current market you'd know a 9800 pro for £130 is
either a wrong price or off the back of a lorry but some others might not
know and have just read a few good reviews.

If the mistake was that it read £260 more people would have believed it was
a genuine offer but when you can spend £30 on a graphics card who's saying
that £130 is way too cheap?

It'll be £130 and crap in comparison with other cards one day anyhow...

isn't true. I got mine

My sentiments exactly,i think it is time people stop behaving like
vultures and stop latching on to other peoples honest mistakes just to
get a piece of technology cheap.It's disgraceful behaviour.
This people never even seem to think of what happens to the person
that made the error as a direct result of their exploiting the
mistake.Amazing.

I wouldnt have known the correct price, or in fact it was greatly
underpriced.
