Doesn't look good for futer internet trading
It happens all the time - and in fact Argos was on Watchdog for doing precisely that with a digital camera over Christmas. People went into the store to order the camera at the amazing price, but it wasn't available anywhere in the country. By the time stocks arrived, the price had gone up.
I think you'll find that any web company doing this intentionally and on a regular basis would soon go out of business - simply because word spreads like wildfire on the 'net about this sort of thing (for an example, search the archives for 'Anders' and 'Power Engineering' ).
Oh, and Badger - that's the single most stupid and childish post I think I've read on SN for quite some time. Get a grip, FFS!

MarkO..........Do you think that I ment that everyone should follow this statement?
Do you think they would miss a max of 10,000 customers from their worldwide operation.
It was posted in jest, you just missed the sentiment.
