It has been 1 week already since I ordered that famous tv from argos for 
0.49. I wonder for how long are they planing to keep my hard earned cash.
Has anyone been refunded yet?

give it up this episode is over now you know

I'd sue them for the loss of interest on the 49p

for god sake get a life. Your not talking hundred of pounds and maybe it 
will take a little time.

Your one of these moaning sods who talk bollocks abouts these things when 
they dont arrive when you know full well it was unlikely anyway.

It is really pathetic. Does it add anything to your life to complain or can 
you not help it.

Your sad and pathetic. Take it up with argos or move on. No one else needs 
to hear the drivel. Shut up.

Well your obviously a total idiot then, if you think a 350 TV/DVD combo  
is onsale for 49p.

You are either:

a) a scammer, you know the price was wrong, and tried to take advantage of  
that fact
b) a total idiot who thought a 350 Tv/DVD combo onsale for 49p was a real  
offer.

Which is it to be???

Rants lose so much impact when they're badly spelled and punctuated.

Its a fine profession.

correctness of the price is a relative thing. There are offers online to get 
a mobile phone with a 12 month free contract via cashback, so someone might 
say it's a clearly incorrect price, but it is not.
It's not my business to question retailer's prices. I place an order if the 
advertised price is acceptable to me. If the retailer admits it was a 
pricing error and cancels the order, that's fine and I don't have any 
problems with that. However they do not have the right to cancel the order 
without making a refund. I don't care if it's only 49p + shipping, one week 
should be enough time to make a refund, knowing how long it takes for them 
to withdraw funds from my bank account.

 Anyway, thanks for your limited thoughts so far, but further responses are 
not required.

No, I wouldn't. I already have two 15" LCD TVs, one Hitachi 42" WS CRT 
and a projector. I'd rather keep any one of these than a Bush TV so 
there's simply no point me buying one.

I also have a 28" CRT I've lent out and a 14" portable which is sat in 
the loft.

Spending 49p plus the hassle simply isn't worth the 60 you'd probably 
get for it on ebay.

I would have one, if they GAVE ME 49p.  It would cost me more than that to  
take it to the dump...
