01

Why we called it

Currys Business listed an HPE Aruba AP-505 (a Wi-Fi 6 enterprise access point with a limited lifetime warranty) at £1.83 excluding VAT. That is £2.19 delivered, on a unit that normally runs well over £330. It was a straightforward pricing error, and it had already surfaced on UK hot-deals feeds, so the window was short.

The wrinkle was access: the price sat behind a Currys Business account. We posted a step-by-step walkthrough of registering as a sole trader, which needs no company registration number and no VAT number, alongside the thing most people miss: buying B2B strips your consumer return rights.

02

The edge

What members knew before everyone else worked it out.

  • £2.19 delivered against roughly £75 on eBay, with real demand from IT resellers.
  • Worst case is cancellation and a refund, which makes the downside close to nothing.
  • Full Currys Business signup guide posted, including which fields to leave blank.
  • B2B purchase means no automatic 14-day change-of-mind return: fine on a £2 punt, worth knowing generally.

How it played out

#misc-alerts · call log

  1. The error is caught

    Posted with the listing, the resale figure and the warning that hot-deals exposure would close it fast.

  2. Access solved

    A sole-trader signup walkthrough goes out so members without a business account are not locked out.

  3. The honest update

    Bulk orders start getting cancelled while single-unit orders hold. Members are told plainly rather than left to find out.

04

What it sold for on eBay UK

The sold range the ledger records for this call, on one scale with the retail price.

+£73Margin · per unit, before fees

3325%+ROI · at the low end

Out is the eBay UK sold range posted with the call or confirmed in the follow-up review. The margin is that range minus retail, for one unit, before fees and postage, so it measures the market spread on the call. What a member made depends on how many they bought and what they sold for. The call is marked confirmed after the follow-up review.

The takeaway

Price errors are a lottery ticket, not a business. Order one, keep it sealed, and treat a cancellation as the expected outcome rather than a grievance, which is exactly how it was posted.
