Bloody hell, I've already got the kids stuff sorted but they reeeeaaaallly wanted this and I would never have paid 70 quid for it.

Hope so.

i got one for neice and then went back and bought one for dd(who at 6 is prob too big for it) but i know that ds 3 will love playing in it.they are both showing on my account as £17.50 to be despatched on the 11th. So hopefully they will arrive

madmissy · 09/11/2009 11:21

yep i had the confirmation email through after paying so hoping i snaffled a bargain!

crockydoodle · 09/11/2009 11:28

Yay got the lego farm for £7.95 instead of nearly 50 quid

frazzled74 · 09/11/2009 11:34

just saw that deal (too late) on uk hot deals
am feeling quite excited, all these bargains. Is this the start of shopaholicism?

Disenchanted3 · 09/11/2009 11:39

crocky

wheres that??

chocolateismymiddlename · 09/11/2009 11:42

amazon had the lego farm for £8. Am I missed that bargain, as ds would have loved it for Christmas. Never mind, there will be more bargains to wastemoneyon- buy!

madmissy · 09/11/2009 11:43

on amazon dis its gone up again

morningpaper · 09/11/2009 11:45

We need a section for DODGY SUPERCHEAP DEALS THAT MIGHT BE UNSOUND

heymammy · 09/11/2009 14:44

Glad some of you managed to get the deal. Amazon change their 'deals of the week' every Sunday at midnight so I casually thought I'd take a look this morning to see what was new!

I'm pretty sure it's not a mis-price as I've noticed that, with Amazon, once a few have been sold at super cheapy prices then they put the price back up.

Just had the following e-mail from Amazon .

Surprised they're not honoring their price.

But it's foul.

posieparker · 09/11/2009 16:43

People who managed to buy it you could sell it on ebay for about £40.

madmissy · 09/11/2009 17:23

I've not had a email yet... i will though i know it grrr

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 09/11/2009 17:27

Not had an email yet either that's a shame could have dine with something nice happening today.

crockydoodle · 09/11/2009 18:38

Got the lego farm on amazon and have had an email to say it has been dispatched. so looks like they have honoured the price.
Found this on hot uk deals.

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 10/11/2009 07:43

Got an email last night saying the cottage was distpatched so looking god so far.

tootiredtothink · 10/11/2009 08:25

That is good news. Let us know when you receive it?

When it's safely in your hands I might give Amazon a ring asking why they honored some at the so called 'incorrect' price.

They obviously meant to put the price back up sooner than they did.

madmissy · 10/11/2009 08:29

i still have not had a email to say that its cancelled so hoping it arrives still too!

heymammy · 10/11/2009 12:41

I've had my despatched e-mail with £17.50 price on it so looks ok. I'm guessing they only intended on selling a few at that price but so many orders came through quickly. Bit shitty of them not to let everyone have it fair and square

OP posts:
IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 10/11/2009 15:07

I do think it was a genuine mistake actually offering it at that price.
If you look at the listing now it is redused and has £17.49 off so it does look like someone made a mistake.
Do agree it is a bit rubbish of them not to honour all rather than some of the orders at that price though, would be interested to find out their reasoning on that.

madmissy · 10/11/2009 15:54

mines dispatched!! yay

tootiredtothink · 11/11/2009 10:28

Have phoned Amazon as you have all got your dispatch notices so there's nothing they can do to cancel those orders.

Guy I spoke to on customer services has said that if we can give them the order no of an order which has been honored then they'll also do that price for us too!

So can I be cheeky and ask madmissy Ineedacleaner or heymammy if you would mind giving me your order no so I can get that deal too?

My email is [email protected].

No problem if you want to wait until you have to cottage in your hands - although Amazon did say they wouldn't cancel any orders that have already been processed.

I shall be eternally grateful .
