Hi Guys,

This isn't a spam robot..., just me! I got the offer on an email from Ebuyer so thought I'd flag it up here (no I don't work for them or have anything to do with them!).

ARM Cortex A8 1.2GHZ, Mali 400 DC
9.7in IPS Multi-Touch Capacitive Screen
1GB RAM, 8GB Flash, 2 x Cam, HDMI, WLAN
Android 4.0 ICS

Down from £299 to £180

Ebuyer were mis-quoting £299 as a prevoius sale price even before they had any first stock and they were supposed to be the exclusive initial sole suppliers. If this pricing con had been seen in a supermarket it would have been liable to prosecution.
Would you have bought one at nearly £300.00 - I ceratinly wouldn't have. I bet no-one can find anyone anywhere who did either.
If it isn't broken then don't try to fix it!

@ TC is correct there.

I had an email from ebuyer today with an offer of a free case with the Extreme-->

LOL - The last time I checked they only have 97 Extreme Tablets in stock - So everyone should get a free case with their current stock levels!

Agree with TS - it was never 299 and that kind of advertising is misleading. Although, i guess they do it all the time. Most advertising is misleading in some way. Look at apple getting sued over their 'siri' thing for the iphone 4, blatantly does not work like they show in their adverts.

Not really - They should have had it at £299 for at least 28 days (which we know they did not) and sold one too, before they can legally advertise a higher "was price" like that. It would be ok if they did not do that but had the £299 price listed as a "Manufactures Suggested Price".
