If they are going to lose over £450 for each one they send out, why the hell should they do that?

I remember a similar thing a while back. Kodak's website were selling digital cameras for £2.50 or something ridiculous and they had to sell them as it wasn;t mentioned anywhere that they were not responsible for typing errors.

According to the Beeb, Amazon have something in their T&C that covers incorrect pricing anyway, so you would never have won this argument.

Unlucky. Maybe next time they won't notice.

Im afraid you wont get your laptop, i seen a similar thing on watchdog with Digicams on Argos, if the price that you bought the item at is obviously the wrong price (like paying £26 for a £500 laptop) then the seller has no obligation to sell.
