Argos are offering the Fujinon XC 16-50 kit lens for £39 inc delivery. Quite a saving from the normal £360!

A bit surprising, but it now appears to be out of stock!

 

It accepted my payment at about 1.30 and I've received an email confirming etc. It's currently listed at £285 on the Wex site, I thought it must be a mistake.

That's unfortunate.

It seems to have been removed completely from the website.

 

Tim, I'm sure I remember all the kerfuffle of the Amazon selling stock for a penny the other week that if they had taken the money from your account then they had to by law honour the price whether it was a mistake or not as a contract has been entered into. Therefore their refusal to supply maybe illlegal if you wanted to persue it.

 

Thanks Paul. They are sending me (and others) a £10 goodwill gift token and I accept that mistakes happen. I think they probably intended to price it at £239 showing a £50 reduction over it's normal price which is still a great buy from what I understand of the lens. I have the XF 18-55 anyway but couldn't resist a 'bargain' like that when I saw it.

I thought it was too good to be true!
