I would have been spitting nails if I had thought I had grabbed a bargain only to receive a sold out email... I have just read a dubious post on the ebuyer facebook page - A facebook newbie has posted to say he/she got a Revo for £1 and then cancelled two motherboards for £1 each as they decided they didn't need them. An employee or friend maybe, the shame gets worse. Hi Chris – I was annoyed I didn’t get a chance to make a purchase or even see what was available for £1.00.

When I got it into my basket there was 68 left of the motherboard. 2 mins after the confirm email I got another telling me it was out of stock. I was then no longer able to access any more of the deals, not that 1000 DSI cases are worth spending £1 to then find out the delivery is £8.99 on top of that... I wouldn't say I am angry but they did promise they would be running the sale from 10:30 till midnight and ALL clearance products would be added. Some of the products on there when added to basked displayed the normal price. I has one of the few that managed to get one of the deals into my basket and complete the checkout.
