At that price I can't believe 123 have been sold.

By my simlple maths, sold 123 at that price is certainly £122,998.77! Postage for such an expensive item only 70p, amazing.

I have asked the obvious questions of the dealer and await his/her reply with bated breath!

I've seen those things in a couple of dealers in Kent for about a quid each! Someone needs a visit from the lads in Hereford, methinks.

I questioned the seller and have the reply:

"Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately we have experienced a quality issue with this item.

We are working to rectify this, and when we have stock that we believe is fit for purpose, we will revert the item to its original price.

Kind regards

So now we know! I must remember this for another time.

Martin.
