Seriously tempted! How much do you reckon it would get on eBay if it hadn't even been unwrapped? bearing in mind there will probably be hundreds of them on there.

It's very ugly Hector, but it's fifty pence. Cheaper than a loaf of bread!

Oh look, even if you only get 99p for it, as long as you put it as 'collection only' you're not going ot lose out by buying and e-baying and you might make a nice profit.

I've 'bought' 2. I should imagine they will withdraw them from sale once they realise the mistake!

Hmm I just put one in my basket and got an error message. I don't think they will honour this price Grin

Buy one get one half price - so you can get two M&S armchairs for 75p?

It's obviously a big balls up and they'll retract it like other retailers have done in similar circumstances. Or is it?
