I agree, especially because the original posting said something similar to "This site has made an error - act quick and get 8480 for £4!!"

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you walk away with unstorable amounts of Lego; I don't see how anyone could geniunely be disgruntled at a company whose error they were trying to capitalise upon. For what it's worth, (a red 2x4 in a bucketful of pitchforks), that thing Larry said goes for me too. There were some horrid moments last night when I wasn't too proud to be an AFOL. Don't just say "Play Well", mean it too! Richard (falling off his soapbox, ouch!)
