"Not exactly sure what to say but it annoys me" Topic

I wanted a copy of a book from Osprey; FFL 1914-1945 and a copy of Spanish Foreign Legion. The FFL was priced at 9.99 (UK) but was on special at 6.99 (UK), however it was out of stock so I asked them to email me when it was back in stock. I thought I'd wait and order them together and save on postage.

Nearly 2 weeks later and still no email so I have a look at the site. The FFL book I want is still out of stock, the price is still 9.99 (UK) but now on special at 7.49 (UK)i.e. gone up 50 p. So a book I can't get is now on special at a higher price than 2 weeks ago when I couldn't get it even though no-one can buy it? Am I missing something here? or is it due to be "restocked" so chuck the special price up. Its only a 50p increase I know, but it seems less than customer friendly..

Jon.

Could you have pre-ordered it at the 6.99 price so that when it did come in you'd have gotten the deal?

The general public expressed interest in the book (you) so that means an increase in worth, so it justified a price increase…. And that's how a market economy works. A item is only on sale when no one wants it.

and now I find the one that was in stock is now out of stock! Mayhap I'm not supposed to get into the Rif wars….the lead god is saying "Enough". Surely He would never deny a follower….
