I know this isn’t the board version, but I’m guessing it’s just the same in a casing, but I found the Fire-i at this website:

Erm...the price!? £5.80 inc VAT. Am I seeing things?

UPDATE: I tried ordering one and they told me they didn’t stock it anymore. Oh well was worth a try lol

That’s not really how it works. It’s rare for companies to honour misprices, they would give your money back and say sorry.

They of course might not realise the mistake and been selling them off at a big loss.  But usually what happens is the sudden interest in a product flags up the pricing error.
