its shit like this get screw over in the general public.
like 20 minutes you post a brand new price mistake deal, shit get spread in the interweb, then ultimately it gets noticed and cancel. Also with people that orders 20 of them.

Bestbuy had a price mistake once for a 22" acer monitor for $50 (msrp ~$200) some people in slickdeals were fortunate and received their order. not me

Sigh

Hilarious either way

They will cancel the orders. My friend and I bought the $166 TVs off Amazon, that's what they did to us.

Oh, I was beaten by several hours. That's what I get for not reading the thread. Sorry. =(

It takes 2 minutes maximum to put in an order. If they don't catch it in time, you got a 52" TV for $10. If they catch it in time, you lose nothing but the 2 minutes you spent placing the order.

2 minutes for a shot at a $10 HDTV? Seems worth the time investment unless you're incredibly busy

This reminds me, anyone remember that thread where the guy found a way to order really cheap t-shirts from a site? I think it was because there was some glitch or something like that but does anyone remember

If only, lol.

I remember SquareEnix came out with a new DS game a year or two ago and listed it as $0.00 by accident, so I ordered it for the hell of it. So four of my friends (None of which even own a DS) also order it.

A few weeks later we actually received the game. Was pretty awesome < <
We were actually surprised they still honored the price, seeing as they adjusted it on the site a day or two after we ordered.

Sometimes the companies give out gift cards and/or special coupons for mistakes they make on their end.

Yeah I know it's not exactly cheap but you're getting a pretty good tv.

Also, just shop around, you'll see pretty good deals

This thread makes me sick, its the lowlifes that try to get away with it that muck it up for the honest people. Instead of being honest and maybe even going so far as to contacting them about the error people have to try to weasel themselves in a cheap buy. Just pathetic and childish if you ask me.

Hey...we have to pay for mistakes we make in every day life....why should a corporation be any different? We are just trying to make them pay for theirs. Honestly, if you found 20 dollars on the ground....are you gonna hand it in to a security guard/cop or keep it for yourself?
