    First purchase from Scan

    Bought a CM Silent Pro Gold 700W yesterday for £71.99, today it's £69.59
    Is there anyway I could get the difference back? (EDIT: Was kidding if you didn't get that. Bad joke!)

    Extremely fast delivery though. Got it a couple of hours ago.

    In overall, it's a mixed feeling for my first time purchase.

    £2? Why bother?

    Not because of the difference in price, but it's the feeling.
    btw, it's £2.40

    Dont' get me wrong, it's still a bargain. I'm not really trying to get the difference back here, just to share the feeling.

    It's like you walking down the street and you lost £5, not many people would say, "lucky me, it wasn't a £10 note."

    You bought something - the next day it was cheaper. Welcome to the world

    The feeling of what? Exactly?

    You buy a brand new car, drive it off the forecourt and it drops in value. Do you go and try to claim the difference back then?

    Contact Scan they are quite nice like that. I think it's happened a few times before with other people. I myself did the exact same thing yesterday. Bought two new 2TB drives. I didn't see the bundle on the Today Only and lost out, oh well. **** happens.

    Computer stuff moves around in price all the time, exchange rates etc, this time you were unlucky hopefully next time you will not be. Not everyone buys stock before selling it sometime you get stock on consignment so you just pay for it as you sell it. I mess you once bought a board for 20 quid more from OCuk, as they were the first to have it and were down as the uk distributor, a week later other places had it.. i was sick as a parrot. Last time i will use them, as i felt ripped off.

    Re: First purchase from Scan

    Woops, wasn't expecting replies. I'm not complaining, this is not Scan's fault at all, it's just how the world works, I get that! Was kidding about getting back the difference if you didn't get my joke (that's why the Oops red face) Bad joke?! Yes, I know.

    Just my luck.
