After I saw your message about getting the Humax for =A3199 and seeing it
i=
n
store for =A3229 locally, I called Comet and they confirmed
1) their website doesn't show it anymore (even though Kelkoo is still
showing it)
2) price in my local store is =A3199-99 NOT =A3229 as displayed - as you
mentioned (I suspect that the extra 99p is an error).=20

Of course it is, it's much cheaper to run a warehouse and website than
devote large amounts of space which could be used for holding stock to
displaying a comparatively small number of items, you have the costs of
running that space, both energy and staff, the cost of renting or
purchasin=
g
that space (obviously you want a good location to get people to come in)
etc. whereas you can box shift from a warehouse via a website from anywhere
that the couriers will collect from.

...however I got the =A3199 price in the store and they just gave me it. I
hadn't even been able to find it on their website before today.
