Does Takealot honour pricing errors if ordered and paid for already?

Off topic: please look to the the thread title for how to spell honour.
On Topic: I've ordered blurays before that were marked as R2, and later repriced to R150.
Takealot honoured the R2 price even though I ordered two of them.

It entirely depends on the quantity ordered at the wrong price and how many people placed orders. If only a handful they will likely honour it and get some good will in the process. If a LOT of people order - example being the recent WD 6TB hard drive price mistake - they won't as the loss would be too great.
Also legally speaking they are within their right to pull the sale and refund you.

That's a 100Mbps switch with 2x 1000Mbps ports. That price actually seems fair to me. 100Mbps is really old tech, even for consumers.
Can't see how that switch should be more expensive than the price you show. If anything, its removed from the website because they have no stock or something.

Looks about 1000 rand too cheap based on what other SA based etailers (no stock though) are selling them for

Nope. Look at the Hardware Bargains thread.

you should have ordered and kept your mouth shut...

Oi! Leave me out of this...
If they honour the price, its a fantastic deal for the device.
Why? I only posted about it once I saw the price went back up. Doubt anyone but myself or another anon caught the deal before it was fixed. I ordered 2 of them and it says they shipped for delivery already.

Because if to many people order then the loss becomes to big and they withdraw it bright spark.

Why would people order it if the price went back up?

Personally I feel companies should honour it - unless there is a clear effort to abuse the error (by ordering a bunch of them etc).
The stunt Hi-Fi corp recently pulled is also kinda acceptable in my books. i.e. They offered a HDD at a stupid price and then issued additional advertising saying "limited to 360 nationwide" once they realized this is going sideways. (If you right click save the image the filename of the ad is even called "apology").
