Sofa advert price fail?

I can't work out if this is deliberate or not. If so I'd guess it's a kind of 'a-ha! got your attention' or it's one of those deals where the sofa has actually gone back up in price since a recent sale and the advertiser is obliged to reference this (by the way that's exactly what supermarkets do all the frigging time - hit them where it hurts steal a flat-screen telly, it's the only language they understand).

Either way, this is very very odd. It's only by chance that I noticed it. What do we think? Deliberate macguffin, small-print obnoxiousness or silly mistake?

    Either way, it’s still an utter garbage advert! I’m glad this got featured cos it pisses me right off!

    A soon as I found this site I had a rare feeling of homeliness and comfort. Love it. As for sofa price, I think it’s intentional…as in “buy it now, ‘cos it’s on its way back up to £999!). Haven’t seen on the box, but looks like it has all the hallmarks of something I’d spit my coffee at.
