Moved to Forum: Original Link as this is a price error on Amazon UK. See chat record with support staff and example of cancellation email.

Stumbled across this deal on my daily internetting:

Samsung MZ-7TD250BW 250GB 840 Series Basic 7mm Ultraslim Solid State Drive
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EPFKL0A

£39.92 [$70 AUD] for each unit. Shipping cost to Sydney was £11.53 [$20 AUD] for me, but I ordered two. Note that price on the site includes VAT and 20% VAT will be taken out at check out.

Kind of a suss product entry with such a cheap price (this Samsung SSD goes for ~$200 locally) and generic description, but it's being sold BY Amazon UK so they don't charge until they ship.

Have at it!

    Be quick before they sell out

    I just did a search of the Amazon URL "B00EPFKL0A", and it led to another thread.

    Somebody decided to start a thread on Slickdeals as well, so 0% chance of receiving it now. :-(

    Arrrrgh!! Right when Ive drained my visa account!! If anyone is interested in making a little $$ I am willing to pay $100 for one, pick up anywhere in Adelaide.

    KNEW OzBargain would punish me 4 draining my account :(

    Well if they do cancel it I'll stick to listening to music on my Philips Downtowns instead of fluffing with relocating HDDs.

  • [Deactivated] on 31/08/2013 - 23:10

    The fact this on Slickdeals and word is spreading fast, Amazon UK is probably going to have tens of thousands of orders for this if they don't pull the listing in another few hours. :P

    • jv on 31/08/2013 - 23:26

      is probably going to have 100k+

      Why, don't they keep track of how much they have in stock ???

        Why, don't they keep track of how much they have in stock ???

        I'm assuming the stock status saying "Usually dispatched within 2 to 5 weeks" means that this is backordered.

  • mxlegend99 on 31/08/2013 - 23:25

    i grabbed two also. got a laptop and server machine that need SSD. But this is bigger than my gaming machine SSD. So if they are shipped, I think I am in for setting up 3 machines. :-)

  • Biggles on 31/08/2013 - 23:28

    Ordered. Great deal.

    Trying so hard to resist this deal. As much as I love a good deal. I can't think of any use for an extra SSD. I've already got one in every machine… I don't have any more SATA cables to plug any more HDDs into… But it's cheap… Arrhhhh
    Hopefully this deal will be finished by morning so I won't have to agonise over it.
