Eagle-eyed shoppers spot €878 blunder

Online retailer Littlewoods could be left counting the cost after eagle-eyed shoppers spotted a seven-piece furniture set worth €899 for sale on its website for €21.

The markdown was a blunder and Littlewoods Ireland said yesterday that all purchases for the Balmoral furniture set were on hold.

However, the chairman of the Consumers Association said anyone who bought the furniture for the knockdown €21 price is entitled to their goods — and if they do not get them they should take a case to the small claims court.
