Any merchant can cancel it at any time and any reason.

Amazon's purchase contract terms state they can't cancel the order once they have despatched. Fingers crossed.

What are these worth? I've got a brand new pair of B12 front struts but no idea wish they're worth.

I'm hoping it works out. Finally all endless hours trawling the internet looking at car parts I can't really afford may pay off

They retail at around 800 but you can get them off the bay foe around 530.

What just for the bare struts? I've literally got two brand new boxed front struts (bare) if there's any interest I'll make a for sale thread.

EDIT

Just checked & they're B6 struts I've got

No chance you will get it at that price. It's clearly a miss price and they will not honor it. It happens all the time and they are under no obligation to supply it. You'll get an e-mail soon notifying you it's been cancelled.

Yeah stick them up. I think these would get the interest of those with stock dampers and lowering springs, or a replacement for M sports.

Are they adjustable?

No idea how much they are worth

I'm almost certain you will get it, if you check out hotukdeals there's a thread on there detailing absolutely crazy savings on Amazon, ie someone got a £1200 Porsche clutch for £60 odd. All honoured. I got a Focus ST timing belt kit with tensioners ETC for £7 inc postage. Got an E90 LCI inner rear light for £7.80 posted too. Happy to screenshot my account if needs be.

Yeah my thoughts are that its not a true mis-price. In that the original item is 760.41, so a typo would be 76.41 etc.

However its 160.63 which seems odd, its also 78.88% difference, again odd. Also when you google the item on amazon.de comes up, which was at 377 euro, and its going to take a few days to ship, so hoping it can sneak under the radar.

I do buy a couple of K's worth of stuff from Amazon, am an Amazon prime member and am still paying £160. Aware that they are a multinational company and I am just me, but here's to hope!

Take a look at the below, it's been going on for ages now.. Loads of stupidly low prices.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/load...amazon-2480934



There's some bits I got for our cars. All those prices are including postage too.

You'll definitely get your order

That HUKD thread is interesting. Any idea why they are off loading all this stuff for cheap? Most odd. Can't see anything decent now.

Oh the decent stuff is long gone, OP just got lucky as there is still the odd item that pops up occasionally or was just missed.

All sale items are sold by Amazon themselves, OP has got a lovely little bargain here. It won't be cancelled.

Thanks for the tip. I've just bought a set of Ferodo front brake discs for £30, seems like good value.

If they find it in error, THEY WILL cancel it. Trust me. You are in the mercy of them, you are blessed if they honor it. This happens to a lot of US based companies.
