This can't be right, can it?

[Chunky70]

Just came across this on amazon, a Topping tp60 for £16.17! Do you think this is a mistake?

[synsei]

Send them a message via Amazon just to check. If it turns out to be the correct price then snap one up pronto before they sell out :)

[Oldpinkman]

One way to find out. Due for delivery in the new year :scratch:

[shane]

Worth that just for the case.

[Roy S]

Whacked in an order, it's been acknowledged. It'll cost them more than that to send it :scratch:

Must be a typo; if you look at all the buying options there other 2 are £159.00 - a slip of the decimal point surely?

[anthonyTD]

They have been know to put things up for crazy prices on occasions, then re-price them after purchase.
A...

[Audioman]

At that price what's not to lose - ordered and will keep eye out for a change in price and hope they don't notice before dispatch. :)

[awkwardbydesign]

I've ordered one as well! Estimated delivery-5th-27th December. Have to wait and see.
Don't need it, but what the hell!

[Gordon Steadman]

Snap!! My nephew in the UK must be getting tired of getting parcels not for him:lol:

[sq225917]

I'll have a slice of that.

[Roy S]

Should just say thanks for the 'heads up' Ian, did you order one?

[awkwardbydesign]

I hope he didn't leave it too late! :lol:

[Wakefield Turntables]

Just bought 2

[Gordon Steadman]

I suspect that this sudden rash of orders might raise the odd query. But then again who works for Amazon?? We may be lucky.

[awkwardbydesign]

Yes, please stop ordering.

[Roy S]

They've sold out anyway :D

[Chunky70]

Aye ordered it when i saw it. My status now says preparing for despatch! We can only live in hope!

Same here;not confident though - the seller seems to stock mainly toys & stationery.
Reckon someone's screwed up in the Amazon Marketplace IT department?
Besides;wouldn't it be 110V as it's coming from the US?

Maybe it's a scale model of one :lol:

Different seller.

The original one was "supermart USA".

[chelsea]

Will these work ok in the UK?

Would make a nice match with this "Airfix" subwoofer?

That's one of the original vendors that had the amp at the 'correct' price all along :)

Think you can get a transformer

Probably off the same seller for $159.00.:)

[awkwardbydesign]

Who cares? I only want the case. :lol:
If we get enough of them, we could try going 3 way at yours in a couple of weeks. It does say they are powerful enough for large speakers.

[chelsea]

Yes,guessing number 1 on the volume will power mine ok.
Bought one but not to sure why.

[prestonchipfryer]

Is it? Are you sure?

[mr sneff]

Is it? Are you sure?

When this thread first started I looked at the Amazon page, and 3 vendors were listed, 2 @ £159 and the one at the low price that's attracted all the interest. It seems that the low price vendor has sold out leaving the 2 @ £159 :)

[prestonchipfryer]

Then I stand corrected. :o

[awkwardbydesign]

Because you could!

[Lace'd Taste]

Was reading this thread at work and got a couple for myself like some of you (always wanting to try the bi-amping thing. Here's the screenshot with the price i paid. If anyone hears anything for the seller or dispatch whack it up on the thread.

Will certainly do that Jayson.
I have one of these already and would also like to try biamping. Have to say even at £159 these are a total bargain with tank like build quality and an almost tube like midrange.
Don't hold up much hope in this deal being fulfilled though. Typo error most probably. Still it's got us all excited for a bit!

[Lace'd Taste]

Nice to see my attempt to wipe my name from the net lasted all of 5 seconds! :lol: Yeh i must say I'm pretty excited! Really hoping the warehouse is all automated and the amps are on a conveyor belt heading straight to the delivery van - one can dream!

[Wakefield Turntables]

Just checked my order and its still saying x2 sold at £32, here's hoping!

[synsei]

'Dispatching now' :-)

[Lace'd Taste]

Seriously?

[da2222]

yep...according to Amazon order update

[Lace'd Taste]

Fantastic! I think mines will get dispatched hopefully tomorrow/ Thursday. :) delivery estimate is pretty long - are they getting delivered from the US?

[awkwardbydesign]

I think so. And being valued at less than £18 means no import tax or VAT, I believe. If it happens. Ooh, it's so exciting!
I'm also waiting for a pair of brogues (don't ask, Stu will understand) from ebay, and drivers and crossover components for a Troels Gravesen design. And Teflon caps from Moscow.
Oops, I've just wee-ed myself.

[chelsea]

How much is a transformer?

Looks like you've sorted out your own Christmas presents this year! ;) I think if this all goes as well as were hoping then we all owe Chucky70 a pint, or a couple of kegs for posting this up. :cool:

[The Grand Wazoo]

One person has got a 'Dispatching Now' notification - anyone else?
Has anyone got a 'Dispatched' message yet?
.....or has anyone got a 'Sorry but we will have to charge an extra 900%' message?!!

We need answers to these questions, and more!

[awkwardbydesign]

One person has got a 'Dispatching Now' notification
Is it me, is it me? Please let it be meeeee!

[Chunky70]

I am absolutely stunned! My order has just been despatched!
For all those who ordered hope you get yours soon, mines a large malt:cool:
Still won't take anything for granted until i have the amp in my hands though!

[The Grand Wazoo]

Excellent!

Unsurprisingly it doesn't look like it's going to be fulfilled,no message from Amazon or the seller.

[Haselsh1]

I am very intrigued by this thread and what appears to have been a major cock up on the part of a company in the US. I also wonder who has actually made the cock up here for these amplifiers surely won't work on anything other than 110VAC...? I see they sell Variacs on ebay too.

[Chunky70]

These amps will work fine with a step up transformer.

[chris@panteg]

These amps will work fine with a step up transformer.

Don't you mean step down ? US voltage are they.

[Chunky70]

yes sorry my bad.

But they weren't out of stock - they priced it differently to how they intended and when they realised this, they lied to Amazon about their 'poor stock keeping' in order to squirm out of a legal contract.

Me to.

Me too. Serves me right for being greedy!

Just checked me e-mail got the exact same thing, congrats to those who had theirs dispatched! I wonder if i can e-mail them saying i don't want a refund but i'll wait till they get more stock :/

[rubber duck]

I'm surprised they even shipped one unit out. I think sellers are protected against mistakes like this. Earlier this year I paid £4.03 via Paypal for a Goldmund Studio with T3F tonearm and was refunded the next day by the UK dealer. Turns out the price was three decimal points off. :lol:

[Chunky70]

It seems i am the only person to get a dispatch notification.
Wether i actually get the amp is another thing! Someone has cocked up with this big time they probably only had one in stock anyway.

[Lace'd Taste]

Yeh i e-mailed them and got this short response:

Unfortunately we do not have any stock of this item. Our stock updates weekly.

Thanks - Erica

I dunno whether to call BS or what :/

[jandl100]

Nice little amps.

If you do get one, don't forget to check the voltage spec before you plug it in - it won't survive 240V if it is specced for 110V. ;)

They are still listed at £16 ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Topping-Tripath-Based-Speaker-Amplifier/dp/B0058FUX2M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385475688&sr=8-3&keywords=topping+tp60:scratch:

[jandl100]

Ah :lol: it was £16 an hour ago!

[Oldpinkman]

My order, at £16, unremarkably was cancelled and payment refunded :(

[Clive197]

Interestingly it's the same casework FIREBOTTLE uses for his Phono Amp. E-bay sell the empty casework for £22.

[shabby64]

Re-ordered at £16.17 from supermart USA.

Now "Preparing for dispatch".

Curiously the amp has never been listed in their storefront - even when they claimed to have several available.

I don't believe they ever had any for sale;time will tell,all I've wasted is a few minutes of my time! :whistle:

[shabby64]

I'm sorry but that made me :lol:

Better luck next time lads, genuine bargains do crop up sometimes but preferably not at the expense of someone's job [for example, the employee that made said error could be sacked etc]

Hardly in the same league but 3 years ago Tesco's were selling QED HDMI cables for £2.99 suffice to say I bought all 12 the store had in stock & sold them on eBay for £15 each :D kerrrching ! :eyebrows:

[shabby64]

Vendor's response:

Sorry you didn't receive what you expected.

We are unable to fill this order because there is a listing error on Amazon ... we are working to resolve the problem.

When we list items for sale on amazon we send the UPC number and amazon list our items for sale in the listing that matches the UPC. In some cases there is more than one item with the same UPC, in this case amazon slots us in the most popular listing which may no be correct. When this happens we have no idea that there is a problem until someone receives the wrong item or wrong quantity.

We have canceled the order and are processing your refund.

You may keep the item you received or return to Supermart 251 A America Place Jeffersonville IN 47130 At your own cost.




Thanks Latisha
