I've just run a news story about reports of another online retailer mis-pricing cameras, accepting and confirming orders and then canceling.

Last month Amazon fell into the same trap and I can recall lots of debate here nack in 2002 when Kodak accepted online orders for a camera priced £100 when it should have been £329.

Has anyone heard of any other bungles like these?

Just the oposite Ian, I reserved my D200 body with Purdy's at £1299 and have been invoiced £1199! They even supplied a somewhat tacky soft Nikon gaget bag which is going e-bay.

When I was first after a Canon printer I found one supposedly in stock at, can't remember the exact cost,lets say £350, but the confirmation was £450 and it was out of stock with 4/5 week delivery. This was the excuse for the price hike. This was Pixmania. They had debited my credit card, I canncelled the order and was told it would take 30 days to credit my card. As the debit had been immediate this upset me somewhat, after several e-mails and phone calls I did get an immediate credit but only after involving Barclaycard. One company I'd say never ever deal with, stories like this can be found all over the web about this French operation.
