that wikipedia entry links to
a BBC article regarding Argos mistakenly advertising a TV for sale at £3 in which it says:
'Argos does not have to sell you a television for £3.
However, if the company accepts your order electronically then there may be a valid contract.
A customer who gave Argos his credit card number received what was called a Unique Order Code. That may be proof of a contract, although Argos said all items were "subject to availability"'
An order number is not visible at present, but it stands to reason they must apply a unique order number to each order..
