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.
