    Don't get your pantyhose tangled, ExtremeTech say they're crap

    Scan are just protecting it's customers from buying an inferior product by pricing it way above competing etailers. Those that are not put off buy this and still buy this inferior product at a hugely inflated price simply deserve to be parted from their hard earned =)

    The Retail price was incorrect this has been set by the supplier as the RRP - now updated

    There is no stock in distribution at the moment, but we have a back order in place and have been reliably informed that we are due to receive stock before anyone else.

    Best Regards

    I thought the point you were trying to make was that Scan is massively overprice in respect to this product, and I was just adding weight to that thought.

    What was the point?
