    This is something that has been covered many times before. Suppliers are allowed access to edit their prices I believe, so it's not SCAN, its the supplier and to be honest, I don't think there is a need for the swearing.

    Or the headphones may have been on today only

    Re: Sudden Price change in ONE Day

    Dont get how a supplier can change their prices, if they buy their products ftrom the supplier, they have already payed them, so why can they go and change the price scan sells them at when it doesnt affect them? - or am i mistaken.

    Still dam frustrated.

    Re: Sudden Price change in ONE Day

    'Currys Price

    £49.99'

    So, thats even worse :/

    Amazon have them for £40, but still, whats the point, i also have other things i need to get at scan, so, need to push up the price for free del (and even if i didnt have it its still over priced imo)

    EDIT
    Thats dixons online, and its sold out :/

    Guess you could always ask for it to be on Today only. Or wait for the headphones to drop. Alot of their prices have increased recently, the Q6600 has gone up to £150+, but others have the same prices so it's weird that elsewhere the headphones aren't cheaper.

    Re: Sudden Price change in ONE Day

    I need them now, both my headphones are broken.

    They caught my eyes, and have been for about a week, but only found out scan stocked them the other day, and at that price i knew i was gonna buy them, didnt know when i was able to be at home for del, so, waited for today, and, now its too late :/

    Even worse thing, i have a few other things, they dont total to £30, and i dont want to pay for delivery, or buy things i dont need just toget it,.

    Perhaps the reason is that the price increased to Scan? It's been covered many times - the prices from Scan are in realtime. This has the disadvantage of when products go up, so do Scans immediately, but the advantage of almost instant price drops too.

    It's fairly common in the computer industry.

    You only need £20 ex vat for a free delivery, unless that was a typo. We'll just have to wait to see the prices drop again I suppose.
