They clearly don't want my 77p, refused in Firefox and Edge

 
What costs 77p ?
 
Cheapest showing now is 3.37 for two, minimum order for free postage is
£8 otherwise postage is probably £1.99 but it doesn't actually say.
 

 
I can still see a price of 77p each for two (including VAT) with free
shipping.
For an extra 18p each you can also get an RP2350 board.

These are described as "Welcome Deal".
Maybe the price somehow depends on cookie settings?
I got the low prices in Firefox and Chrome, but I haven't
actually tried to follow through and buy.

Aliexpress knocks a few bucks off the price of everything as a 'welcome
deal' if you aren't logged in.  If you login as an existing customer the
prices go up.  If you are a new customer and try to order lots of stuff, you
might find the 'welcome deals' only apply to the first item(s) you buy.

I think all the Chinese sites do that - I ordered something from wish.com
for $18 when everywhere else was selling it for $36, and I think that was
their new customer discount.  I think Temu is the same.
