    However, the niceties of defamation law are more my thing than contract. I recall learning a lot about the effect of 'mistake' on contractual relations - as that was in the early 1980s, I wouldn't want to 'busk' that aspect now without suitable perusal of the - ahem - authorities
    Fair enough - better stop their, before you send out a bill !

          That seems pretty out of order, Bryn.

          I still haven't had anything since my "dispatched " email at 12.02 Thursday........

          Edit: the seller concerned isn't Liszting it at all now.

            The unmissable Clemens Krauss bargain Ring for £11.99 as spotted by maestro hafod recently has yet to arrive. I hope it's not another Amazon cockup deveeloping.

              I don't think so. The delivery estimate from the start was October 15 - 18. Moreover, it appears, still at £11.99, on a promotional e-mail from Amazon sent less than 90 minutes ago headed 'classical box[sic] sets'. Against that, however, it now says 'temporarily unavailable' - never a good sign. I remain hopeful.

                      Caliban would be correct if there are no terms and conditions to displace the common-law presumptions. Unfortunately, usually there are and these typically delay the formation of a legally enforceable contract till round about when the goods are actually despatched

                        Quite so. And a relevant part of the Marketplace Participation Agreement of 29/8/13 reads as follows:

While Amazon helps facilitate transactions that are carried out using the Service, Amazon is neither the buyer nor the seller of the seller's items. Amazon is not an auctioneer. Amazon provides a venue for sellers and buyers to negotiate and complete transactions in accordance with the provisions of this Participation Agreement. Amazon is not the agent of the seller. Accordingly, the contract formed at the completion of a Fixed Price Sale is solely between buyer and seller.

                          Is everything also in the earlier box - which a quick check shows i already have? Could be good for anyone wanting to speculate - the earlier box is now up to over £300 new, and around £200 used. Perhaps anyone who didn't get Royal Mail shares could try this instead!
