Actually I thought the ruling on the Argos case was that individuals=20
who had ordered single TV's had their orders honoured as they=20
honestly believed that the price was a genuine bargain and thus the=20
contract was entered into without malace or deception, whereas the=20
people who ordered multiple TV's did NOT get their orders honoured as=20
the contract was entered into on the grounds of deception and thus=20
made the contracts void.

and by sending credit card details is an offer to purchase and=20
Kodak's issuing of a reciept is a contract of sale, therefore as long=20
as we believe that the sale price was genuine and not a=20
misrepresentation, I believe our original contract with the vendor=20
stands
