Just joined to let you guys know about this, im a member on the 16v forum, but hey, we should all be mates 16v or turbo'd

I've found what I think in a glitch on the Halfords website. Store pickup only 25litre SIP compressor - for £10. Very limited stock across the country, though by the looks of it Yeovil have a few.

Item number 124472

None in the country now. I'd guess they've fucked up and it should be £10 saving making it £129.99, not a £129.99 saving on £139.99 making it £10.

Be interesting to see if they will stand it or not though!

Loads of the 16v forum have got them reserved, and as far as it being legally binding goes, if they accept your reservation, they are obliged to give it to you for that price. Or when they are next back in stock.

So if youve got one reserved, you are getting one as long as you go and pay for it and pick it up.

I'm 99% that there is an exclusion under UK contract law to do with the buyer entering a contract knowing full well that the advertised price is not representative of the value of goods or services being purchased.

However the seller may still choose to honour the agreement as an act of good will.

Edit: From personal experiance Halfords tend to be quite good when it comes to this sort of thing. I remember buying a load of bike parts off them and the total came to considerably less than the value of one of the parts, I questioned if this was correct at the time of purchase, and they were more than happy to sell me the parts for what the till said.

It wont happen when they realise the mistake. As Rob has already said, law says that if it is a genuine pricing mistake, the seler has the right to rectify that mistake. That goes both ways, too much or too little.

However, I was in halfords the other day and their clearance items included a SIP 150amp gasless MIG for £90 and a SIP 150amp Gas MIG for £90. two for th price of one *hehe!*

Well, law or not, one of the 16v boys has just picked one up, despite the fact that the shop assistant admitted it was an error.

He said that they are honouring the error....................

well done halfords.

3 parts washers reserved here, one for me, one for my mate Adam, one for the old man.

I'm not going to get chance to go and fetch it till tomorrow afternoon, but if the old man goes to get his tomorrow I'll post how he gets on.
