Yep same here. I expect it to be cancelled, but worth a try!

[dannybuoy]

Wow the bass by itself lists for over £400, an EUB and an amp for £20? I'm in!

The small print says they're only 20cm tall.

ho ho ho ordered, lets see.....

[AndyTravis]

Yeah. Ordered. Wife will murder me. Don’t care.

[kodiakblair]

Picked a lousy time to check in on BC. It's just cost me £40 

[Cato]

Reluctantly ordered, despite postage and packing almost doubling the price.

Someone reassure me, assuming that this is some sort of pricing c.ock up, they can't just take the full amount out of my account without my permission?

Half of that is p &p, presumably it's below the free postage threshold.

Couldn't decide on black or sunburst, so I got one of each

It'll be cancelled anyway I expect but if not, in the words of the late Keith Chegwin, "Whey hay!!"

Is it different to a shop then, where they have to sell it at the advertised price?

Anyone want an 80w amp for £40?

I don't honestly know, but unlike a shop where you can see the physical item, all G4M have to do is email me saying they run out and cancel my order. 

Wether they have to honour it once back in stock I've no idea. Maybe they can say they had ten at the promotional price and they all sold, who knows.

Showing no longer for purchase. 

 

[Cato]

Now listed as 'this product is currently not available for purchase.

Either they've noticed, or we've just bought them all.

Don't know how it works in England but up here a shop is under no obligation to sell at the listed price. 

[mr zed]

No longer available

In other news music retailer Gear For Music have just announced bankruptcy after an unfortunate pricing error was ruthlessly exploited by an online bass community...

Think you might be wrong there. I've been in shops and bought something, took it to the checkout and when they scanned it it came up with a higher price. They said they had to sell at the price listed on the item.

I've had the confirmation email, I'll await the cancellation one. 

[Maude]

I've got a feeling a shop is under no obligation to sell you anything if they don't want to. Could be wrong though. 

[jon_kemo]

Under the ‘My Orders’ section it now says ‘price error - do not dispatch.’

Had a rammy in Morrisons last Sunday on a 3 for £6 deal. "Sorry,tag was in wrong place."  That was end of story.

Moneysaver says shops don't have to honour prices.
