model in question...
The
"Argos case" set the legal precedent that if the price were
"obviously wrong" that was sufficient to prove that the purchaser
had
entered into the contract in bad faith, and the vendor could repudiate the
contract on that basis.
There was a lot of
discussion about the applicability of the Argos case when
the
Kodak cameras thing happened. That was different, and the consensus was
that
the Argos ruling did NOT apply, because £150 wasn't
"obviously wrong" for a digital camera. The logic being, there
WERE
plenty of digicams at that price point, so it wasn't reasonable to assume
bad
faith - the purchasers were potentially justified in believing that this
was
merely a special offer, offering a better model for the price of a
lesser.
£75 would appear
"obviously wrong" as a price for a laptop. As such, I would
imagine
that the "Argos case" precedent would
apply.
Note: I'm NOT a
lawyer.
However, my job requires that that I understand a reasonable amount about
contract law as it applies to selling on the Internet :-)

Shouldn’t
payment
accepted = sale accepted => no turning back?
Dell for instance,
hadn’t accepted the orders for the monitors the other week so fair
enough, but once payment is accepted isn’t that it?
Just did a
2nd
order in case we get em :D
