Daily Deal offered for £35 more than the RRP

No primary category set

TameBay reader Lee of Focus Gaming was up bright and early this morning and checking his inbox for today’s Daily Deals and spotted a bit of a pricing gaffe on the email.

The Dell up for grabs today was advertised at a recommended retail price of £155.00 with a Daily Deal super special discounted price of £190.99.

Thankfully if you check on eBay itself the deal is a bit better – the RRP displays as £155.00 but the offer price is now £59.99 – a reasonable saving of 61% off the retail price instead of £35.99 more than the printer retails for.

Oops! 😀

  1. Howdy Chris, Lee,

    I think this is the first time I’ve seen this type of mistake in a daily deal.

    Oops, goes to show that the team managing them are on the ball thou!

  2. Just another trumped up saving against an RRP which is a figure plucked out of thin air. A quick look on Google shopping shows more realistic real world prices. Having said that, it is about the cheapest price I can find, so not so bad.

    I’m sure they stopped claimed saving against RRP’s in the mid 90s, has this changed or is everyone just turning a blind eye to it as everyone seems to be doing it?

  3. There was some security software on DD some days back at £9.99 and selling well.

    The same package could be had from other sellers on the site for around £2 less and not selling well.

    Both included shipping.

    Shows the power of the DD.
