what can i do about a group deal that was a lie, it has never bean or was a $300 item SCAM

[lincolnsassortment]

I recently bought a fruing pan set in a group deal on ebay they advertised it was a $299.00 set at 84% off. The item arrived and i had to laugh. There is no way these pans are worth $300. They are cheap and nasty 3 pans of stone wear and they have a combined weight of 2kg, The large of these that you buy from woolies is as heavey as all 3 together and looks ten times better. I have since bean searchiing for this item and cant find any where that its a $300 item. The most expensive place is welling these for only $93. The company who offered this deal is selling the same set for $69, I was under the impression that people on ebay were still required to be honest on there deals, I guess my question is what do i do about something like this not just for me but also the other 999 people who got scamed with this deal

Isn't the point not to look at what you are paying but instead the rrp? Ie. you are buying pans that would sell any other day of the week for the rrp but due to the facilitation of the group deal company (in this case eBay) today only are at an amazing, never to be repeated, price?

When people buy a group deal fine dining experience it is not get a rubbish meal they could buy any day at that price. The idea is to *more* than your money's worth.

ebay don't sell frypans - sellers sell frypans

And frypans are one of the things I would never buy on-line.

You need to feel the weight of them.

Are you serious? Group deals are organised by someone. The someone is the group deal company. Ebay is either organising them or cashing in on the perception.

The group deal company approaches businesses to sell increased awareness of their product or other benefits in return for offering their subscribers an unrepeatable deal.

Don't be jumping down my throat.

     There's nothing worse than fake RRPs.

You don't have to leave a good response just because they refunded.
