my just ordered motherboard that was so cheap due to a website pricing error...

mattsprattuk · 12-24-2006, 06:31 PM

DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire
is what i ordered, now just after placing my order, i hunted around for a cheaper one, but the closest price to mine was £60!
im paying £29... this thing even does crossfire, so with the money im saving i might add a little to it and buy 2x 512 ATI x1600XT's for £55 each!
what do you reckon to that?

I reckon that's a scam. What website is this?

www.overclockers.co.uk
buy now before they realise

they got a $445 8800GTX but they have 17.5% tax and what not making it $523

I remember dabs.com had a similar pricing error a while back, they tried to force people to pay the real price after they realised. I can't remember what happened to those people but all I'll say is be prepared for a letter from them when they realise.

A friend of mine was buying a computer at the end of 2004 and after his dad signed the contract of buying the computer package, the store clerk noticed they were selling the graphics card (GF6800GT) about 200€ cheaper than it should have been. Man was he lucky, the clerk tried to change back the price but the contract was signed so they couldn't do anything about it.

well, all i can say to you lot is buy it now before they realise and before stocks run out

even if its just a backup, its an awesome board!

Well if they sold it to you at that price then they have to honour it, they cannot bump charges up for a product they have already charged you for.

Always look at the fine print which undoubtedly exists, saying they're not responsible for typographical errors! If that's there, then you'll probably be billed the full correct price.
