I have seen these and order one of each. Not sure if this is a mistake? If it is not mistake it is a bloody good deal.

Same here, probably too good to be true but ordered just in case :)

I just tried to order one at $159, all good until checkout confirmation, shot up to $3999.

It was ugly anyway :P

All the prices have gone up to real values from sale. Hoping they would honor the sale prices :)

Let's see what happens.

Me, I'm just waiting for the outraged posts of people claiming that Harvey Norman entered into a contract for the lower prices and should be compelled by the full force of the law, the principle of "the customer is always right" and common decency to deliver the obviously mispriced goods, preferably with a chocolate cake and bottle of wine to apologise for the grave concern caused by having to wonder if the order would actually be fulfilled.

Hahaha so true!

In the terms and conditions they say errors can occur, so they're under no obligation to honour these prices.

The ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) is also on their side for genuine mistakes...

That has to be a pretty obvious error. Although you can buy second hand sofas for around that price when people want to get rid of it. There are however errors that stores make that don't appear to be obvious errors, especially if they are advertising huge one in a lifetime sales., But I don't know why people would try ordering this because it is obviously an error and these Australian stores wi'll likely not honour an error they have made.
