:p :rofl:

[aniv]

lmao..I just ordered one..can I pick it up? LOL

[Wanderermy]

or they going to honor the price?

:D

[iamwhoiam]

Ordered and paid for. The consumer laws of my state say that they have to honor all advertised prices.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Yeah good luck with that - they have a get-out clause in the UK that says something like if the price was quite clearly a mis-price (like a 52" TV which would have cost nearly $2000 being sold for $9.99) they can not honour the deal.

Luckily, I'm not in the UK. Where I'm at, BB has been forced by state consumer protection laws to honor advertised prices. If BB makes a stink over it, they'll just end up having to honor it anyway.

AB 1721 (Koretz-D) Prices: overcharges

Prohibits any person, at the time of sale of a commodity, from charging, as defined, an amount greater than the price, or computing an amount greater than a true extension of the price per unit, that is then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that commodity.

http://www.sen.ca.gov/sfa/2003/_03_DL03.HTM

and

12024.2. (a) It is unlawful for any person, at the time of sale of

a commodity, to do any of the following:

(1) Charge an amount greater than the price, or to compute an

amount greater than a true extension of a price per unit, that is

then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that

commodity.

(2) Charge an amount greater than the lowest price posted on the

commodity itself or on a shelf tag that corresponds to the commodity,

notwithstanding any limitation of the time period for which the

posted price is in effect.

(b) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a

fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than one

thousand dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in the county jail for a

period not exceeding one year, or by both, if the violation is

willful or grossly negligent, or when the overcharge is more than one

dollar ($1).

© A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a

fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100) when the overcharge

is one dollar ($1) or less.

(d) As used in subdivisions (b) and ©, "overcharge" means the

amount by which the charge for a commodity exceeds a price that is

advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted to that consumer for

that commodity at the time of sale.

(e) Except as provided in subdivision (f), for purposes of this

section, when more than one price for the same commodity is

advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted, the person offering

the commodity for sale shall charge the lowest of those prices.

(f) Pricing may be subject to a condition of sale, such as

membership in a retailer-sponsored club, the purchase of a minimum

quantity, or the purchase of multiples of the same item, provided

that the condition is conspicuously posted in the same location as

the price.

Good luck guys!

That would be a sweet deal, i don't know why you only ordered the one!

[Doli]

I dont know, worth a try but I dont think Best Buy will cancle the orders. I remember a good deal from Slickdeals.com for a 1 TB external HD for a good price at Dell.com, I placed an order but Dell cancled the order and everyone posted their cancles on Slickdeals.

I live in Cali also.

ahh I forgot to check Bing's Cashback since it is having a special double cashback offer now.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

As has been said, I'll wager they just cancel the order then. They will not be honoring you a 52" TV than sell it you for $9.99...

[Doli]

I would love to see the face of an Best Buy employee if anyone does a store pickup.

Take a picture

That doesn't stop them from cancelling the sale. Any shop keeper / retail / online can refuse a sale at any point for any reason.

As stupid as it sounds, my corner shop could refuse me sale of bread.

That depends on how far the sale has gone. As far as I know, if they take payment in the UK (i.e. if you've paid for the bread) then they are under a legal contract to supply it.

That's why most online companies don't take payment until they ship the item.

So steal it! :D

[Jme621]

would have been better not to post and order one or two, then post after getting them with recepit and stuff lol. sharing with all means more activity and more chance of it getting flagged as suspicious. just my $.02

[SoapyHamHocks Member]

So the worse thing they can do is cancel the orders right?

[webeagle12]

Stimulus package at work :shiftyninja:

[aussiefloyd_fan]

I'm ordering one

It'll be interesting to see if Best Buy honors any of these sales, especially in states where they legally have to.

[win2k3man]

hmm how do i get one i am in australia lol

Are there any states where they actually legally have to honor the sale?
