you have to cut and paste that link


?33.24


The description says Bundle Contents: An Xbox 360 console + 2 games + Wireless Controller.


What happens if you order this thinking you'll get an Xbox 360 console + 2 games + Wireless Controller?

Well, you might get an X-box for 30 quid. But basically they are not offering to sell at that price - you are offering to buy at that price, and they don't have to accept. Their terms and conditions say "Our acceptance of an order takes place on despatch of the order, at which point the purchase contract will be made and you will be charged for your order". So if they post it to you and charge you that price, you've got lucky. But more likely, by then someone will notice and correct the price and then contact you to ask if you want to buy at the higher price.


Probably worth a try though. It might just slip through the net...


(I'm assuming they misquoted the price rather than misdescribing the contents, but the same principles would apply.)

    • A quick assessment on having a barter scheme amongst the community. An exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    I wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I don’t have IT knowledge to set this up unfortunate, but I do have skills that I could offer. From past experience, it would probably work best as a direct exchange rather than coupon credit.    I may be flaunting the rules by posting on this twice, admin please feel free to delete one if this is the case.      
    • Echoed. Thank you for stepping up.   whilst I’m here, I was thinking it would be a good idea to have a barter scheme amongst the community. an exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I’ll put it out on the forum to evaluate interest.   
    • As they have been closed, either as an antique shop or a cafe, for a number of years, the words 'go whistle' spring to mind. They are history now.
