      OK, Been through all this before with Kodak.

       
      1. They invited. 2. You Offered 3. They
accepted (by email and CC Auth) so a contract exisits. Your options are to
go to the small claims court for 'loss of bargain' if they don't pay up.
You may loose as the offer has to be deemed genuine to 'a reasonable man',
which a £1400 item for less than £100 does not IMHO. The Koda case was a
£300 item for £100 and marked as 'Special Offer'. 
       
      If you decide to proceed find out who you
contract is with - WorldPay/ Ambleside etc and notify them that you expect
them to deliver on the contract within 28 days. 
      Don't go the class action route as they will
just go tits up and you'll get nowt but a big legal bill. 
       
      Don't think you will win but it is fun
having a crack at it.
