This is a question Question of the Week suggestions

Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:

* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer

What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Bargains!
About two weeks ago now I was searching teh interwebz for a nice new monitor for my nice new computer when I came across one particular 19" rather nice looking monitor for £13.... on amazon.... though a re-seller. "No way" I think but still its only £13 (£20 including p&p) so I decide to buy it and see what happens....

One week later a nice large parcel arrive so I open it half expecting to find said monitor with a screwdriver firmly implanted though the screen. I open it some more (there was lots of packaging, it was from Germany and those Germans don't half know how to pack) and eventually I pull out the box a wonderful fully working brand name monitor for not £130, not £100, not even £90 or £60 but £13.

Incidentally I think it was priced wrong on their site, It probably should of been £130 but still.

Bargain, I think so! Does anyone have any amazing bargain stories?

just before Chrimbo - the lassie rang the perfume through the till and it registered £13 instead of £23. Paid quickly and left.

screwed up an order and sent me a £100 monitor instead of a £35 cordless phone.

They seem to be good at screwing things up in the customer's favour.
