All new listings I imagine people have bought from sports direct and are getting onto eBay quickly before the inevitable frenzy

Cheers for that.

Was tempted to try and buy a shit load, but thought that might be taking the piss.

Fuck the exchange rate..

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Thanks for this, just ordered one. Also as WHS said get it while you can, because I also just checked out hotukdeals.com and it's one of the most popular deals of the day. So the price may be adjusted very soon.

Still..

It means nobody can profit from selling it now, so this only benefits the people who want it, a 'buyers market'.

Sports Direct have noticed the error. The price has been changed to £55 and it is temporarily out of stock.

No, people can definitely still profit from it. In the grand scheme of things this will cause a quick sudden decrease in price. It was only up for a few hours, and all the prices are back up now. I doubt you will be able to sell them for 55, but give it a week or 2 and you should be able to sell them for at least 30.

Depends on if they honour the orders.

I don't think they will.

Here they would be legally obliged to do so. If you put a price tag on it - it is binding during that sale. I hope someone took screenshots :-)

Managed to order one before the change! Still think they will apologize for the mistake and not actually sell the shirt, but hey... Might as well give it a go

Someone (not me) said:

"Customer services admit that it s a misprice and that all orders will not be honoured. Told me to come back and order the shirt in a hour when the new and correct price will be fixed."

I think there will be written in their T and C that they reserve the right to refuse sales at any time, and to change the price etc.

I think if it had have been up for half hour they may have honoured it out of goodwill but as i'm sure a lot of people bought 10 or more of them and it was up for a while they probably won't.

Doesn't work like that in the UK legally, online anyhow.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

They are legally allowed to refuse these orders btw guys

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

My order still says processing. They're taking there time to cancel them!

[Rmpr 8,977]

WHS, you used your limit quota of posts for the day, stop it!

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

My orders now changed to "ready to ship"

Could this actually go through

Has anyone had theirs cancelled yet?
