play.com are advertising all the Bond films on dvd for £9.99

They will, in all likelihood, cancel any orders but....on the off chance, this is the link

No they don't and the chances are we'll all get a polite email from play saying that they're sorry but our orders have been cancelled.

Worth a go though.

I think it depends if money has been taken.

If no money has been taken then I believe they can cancel it.

That's what MFI did when they accidently put a £1000 bouncy castle up for £100. They cancelled it within a couple of hours of me ordering it. Gits.

Simply placing the order at that price is not in any sense a legally binding contract. You could, for instance, order 100,000 of them at that price, it does not legally oblige the company to deliver such a quantity in just the same way they are not obligated by the price displayed.

For a more in-dpeth analysis I suggest you go to any good library and study law!

I don't care that * much I was wondering, I recently bought something which had gone up in price but they hadn't changed the label on the box and she called the manager over and he said we have to sell it for the lower price.

Because if they're anything like me and my sister - they don't like sharing.

Granted, I am not a parent, however, I would have assumed that the way to teach a child how to share is to put it in that situation?

For example: give the present of the dvd to both of them as a combined pressie to share?

That would have caused arguments years ago. See, I would have wanted to watch the DVD but my sister would have wanted to have watched the DVD also or was just about to watch it or whatever. Even if I asked to watch it with her she would have said "No. I'm watching... wah wah".
It was always like this. So mum just got us one of something each!

Actually he's wrong. He doesn't have to sell it at all. Imagine it was a 52" Plasma Tv that had been marked up at 99p or better yet a Ferrari. If he sold that to you for the lower price he would be out of a job. A shop does not HAVE to sell you anything.

However if the price difference is negligble and above the wholesale price then most shops will honour the lower price in the name of good customer service.

I lived with 3 people studying law and I found the section on contracts and the sale of goods to be most informative.

I've just ordered mine. Let's just hope they don't end up charging me £99.99

Play.com have, in the past, given out £5/£10 off vouchers as compensation for their screw-ups - it's worth a shot for that reason alone. I wonder if the quidco will track...

So you would need to have your own DVD players and TVs?

I am very mean however, I'm not too sure why I am being mean this time? It was a question based on my opinion.

This may be the excuse I've been after to get into the Bond films... if it works.

They've updated their database now - I'd cancel the order if you haven't already.

I was too busy telling everyone in the office about it, I didn't get round to ordering myself one. Oh well... I don't like Bond anyway.

I got four colleagues though who have receipts for their £9.99 Bond box sets though, so at least some people got away with it.

I'm only 29 by the way.

Yes although my order is still showing as £9.99. They won't go ahead and take £99.99 a) because it'd be a consumer relations disaster and b) there's only £30 in the bank account I used for that purchase
