Hi

We are writing to you in relation to your order for the following item:

Cat.No: 52M-00124
Artist: XBOX 360 ACCESSORY
Title : 12 MONTH LIVE GOLD COD: BLACK OPS BRANDED MEMBERSHIP WITH FREE T-SHIRT

We are very sorry, but it has come to our attention that this item recently appeared on our web site at the incorrect price of £2.99, instead of the more typical price of £35.16. We trust that you will therefore understand that we are not in a position to process your order at this incorrect price.

We very much regret any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause. No doubt you will be wondering what your rights may be in this matter, but, as we trust our terms and conditions governing our online sales make clear, any contract with a customer placing an order is only entered into at the point when payment for the goods or services is actually received. As you may be aware, hmv has not yet taken payment from you for the goods listed above nor, indeed, taken the final step of confirming the shipment of your order to you by email (please see point b. in the section entitled 'The Contract Between US' on the first page of our Terms and Conditions). So we trust you will therefore appreciate that there is not a legal requirement to make this item available at the incorrect price.

Once again, we really are very sorry about having to take this course of action resulting from what is a genuine error on our part, and whilst we do, of course, very much value you as a customer we hope that you will also understand our position and that you will be kind enough to accept our most sincere apologies.

We appreciate that you may no longer wish to proceed with the order at the corrected retail price of £35.16, but if you do, then please place an order through hmv.com.

Thanks,

One of my mates got a very similar thing when he tried to purchase the entire bond collection for £9.99

There was a run on this kind of thing on IMOC-UK-CHAT about six years ago. It started off when someone noticed an error on Dell's website that meant you buy a whole desktop system with flat panel monitor for about £169 - way, way cheaper than it should have been!

Then it was a Pokemon edition Nintendo Gamecube accidentally priced up just for the price of the game - picked one of those up for around £30!

To round the week off nicely, I got a couple of Star Trek box sets. They should have been listed at £80 - save £12 but were in fact listed at £12 - save £80! I advertised those on eBay using my shiny new Dell computer and almost turned a profit on the whole adventure.

It was a good week!
