I get the feeling they've made a slight error when updating their prices. They've already sold two of these for £14.99!

It would be no doubt helpful to them if you pointed out that there may be an error, although eventually I'm sure that most sellers would notice.
I put £1250.00 once as a shipping charge, but I'd have been a bit miffed to find myself described as daft on a forum, as though I meant it. The item sold with the correct shipping of £12.50 applied.
Interestingly, I couldn't change the listing, maybe because there was a bid on it already. I think if I'd insisted on £1250.00 shpping it might have been legally correct, but I would have made the newspapers!

I don't presume to judge - Turbolister mass error or deliberate, life's too short to look into it!

I used to go into pound shops and ask the price of things. Even though the assistants obviously hear the same quip all day long it's still funny ?)

But not everything in the pound shop is a pound .. they have other stuff priced higher.I used to go into pound shops and ask the price of things. Even though the assistants obviously hear the same quip all day long it's still funny ?)

Pound Shop is just the name of the shop!!
It's a bit like the "5 Minute Cleaners" who take 2 days!

Other sellers have the same item for £15!
I have the slightly longer one, it's well made but it isn't worth £400...
