Any bets that what turns up *isn't* a mobile phone case?

Product Dimensions 16 x 10 x 7 cm
Sold by luluworld (!)
Shipping weight 7 Kg

Is it for real? I know I don't get out much these days, especially
when it comes to modern hardware, but are they really making towers
that small now? Only a little bigger than a mobile phone! But why the
big difference between item and shipping weights? Must be a lot of
packing.

Still, for only £11 inc. P&P, can you go wrong?

Yes you can, that is a silly price for a simple mobile phone case like in
the picture.

You did notice that every other item sold by 'luluworld' is a mobile
phone case? It just looks like an erroneous entry in Amazon's database.

We'll see what turns up, and I have a screen grab should there be a
discrepancy between the description and what arrives!

Which legally has no value. The discrepancy is so huge it's clearly a
mistake and the seller is under no obligation to supple a tower PC at that
price.

Thanks Tim and Bob. I must get out more!

At some time in the next year or so we'll be moving to a smaller
property and will have to downsize massively, and a small computer or
even a 'stick' in a smart TV would be very useful. Bob, what make and
model is it?

It's a hacked Zipit. Probably unavailable now, or hard to come by.

Perhaps its just the picture of it that costs that much. could be a new
craze, forget painting cans of beans, paintings of computer hardware are in
this year.

Well, of course it is. But it's a small enough price to pay for a bit of fun
and for getting Amazon to apologise.

Is your life so dull that paying £7 for an apology is "fun"?
