Default Groupon alleged savings - Wisteria

Just got this offer
http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/natio...0_0_159&a=1664
6' wisteria, one for £29 or two for £55.
Plus £7.95 postage.
Now the prices as quoted look reasonable for 6' plants - similar to other
online sites.
However the savings are quotes as 61% off (single) or 63% off (pair).

This would make them £47.54 single or £87.30 for the pair.

Does this seem a reasonable price?
Seems over the top for me and therefore a spoof saving.



Link from Groupon takes you to the Specimen Plants page where they offer 6'
high plants (no pot size stated) for £74.95 + P&P
So my original maths was way off - think I calculated that the offer price
was 61% not 39%.
Possibly worth a punt, then - apart from the lack of pot size information.
Although I might go for a much smaller Wisteria and let it grow on in situ.
