Cancelled by Amazon.de due to price error.

I have written to them. I have also written to my MP and information commissioner expressing concern on the harvesting of sensitive information including bank account details by third parties who operate these cashback operations on behalf of their clients. If the manufacturers want to offer...

It's not about T&Cs, but the artificial stock shortages engineered during periods of 'cashback' promotions. For example, Amazon suddenly stopped stocking RX100M3 to stop customers taking advantage of double cashback. It is about time these cashback promotions are put to scrutiny and regulated.

That's awful. I would write to the trading standards and send a copy of the complaint to someone higher up at Nikon in the UK.

Got the dreaded cancellation email and they have stopped stocking it (not listed as a seller anymore).

Congrats for managing to grab them at that price, they probably wisened up and pulled stock from their site.

I saw something similar offering a 5dmk3 and a bunch of L lenses for under 2k. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CANON-EOS-5D-MARK-III-CAMERA-FULL-PROFESSIONAL-LENS-FLASH-KIT-/310849017264?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item48600b95b0 I suspect genuine ebay accounts have been...

Nice! I want a 5d3 now :-) You can't escape those lanterns, they are everywhere!

It is the year of the horse. The lion and dragon put up a good show:
