Surely if they advertise at those prices they have to honour the price? If they pull the "out of stock" trick then just wait? (how long... Who knows)

Edit: On their website they could probably tell us to stick the orders where the sun don't shine, but on BoB there is a buyer/seller contract both sides enter when the purchase is confirmed.

makes no sense though, i'd still be as eager to buy a 512gb ssd for R500 or 1k. prices are just too low.

I hear ya, but it is not really about the actual value / pricing ratio. It could be that they need to clear stock off their books and they are simply valuing it at cost less depreciation and holding costs over time.

It could also be that they will no longer be carrying on with this online store effort and need to clear the books at nominal value.
It is probably all about clearing the books for financial year-end as I said. That being said, I say it with a glimmer of hope in that could be a plausible reason for this pricing.

Site has been hacked/worker is doing a number and is going to ship it out tomorrow morning to their cronies before the error gets noticed?

P.S. I hate that loosing/losing thing and mess it up.
