What a great title, this should attract a few visitors...
So I'm given a gift voucher at Amazon by a generous friend, and it lead me to looking around the Amazon website at their bargains and offers.
From one of Amazon's partners I found a memory upgrade for my Eee PC; I'd looked hard for this, and it seemed to be just what I wanted. Whilst there I also spied an HP inkjet all-in-one printer. These seemed reasonable in cost; just under 11 quid for the printer and 8 quid each for the two sticks of 2Gigs PC DDR6400 memory.
The problem was the RRP for the printer is 200 quid and the memory was available from ebuyer for 17 quid a stick. I knew there was something not wholly right with the printer pricing, but I never thought that the other price could be wrong too (I didn't check ebuyer until lunchtime today).
I had an email this morning telling me there had been a pricing mistake and they'd had to cancel the order. Such a shame they noticed it before shipping, eh? Now I've ordered the memory from ebuyer, and I've spent 50p per stick more for the OCZ rather than the Kingston. So that'll be here friday - I hope it has quite an impact on the computer speed.
