HDTV for 9.99

[null_]

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

California, I believe. I'm not sure on the specifics of it. I'm going to guess that Best Buy will likely just cancel the orders, like other retailers have done in the past when there was a pricing error.

I'm keeping an eye on this to see if they actually honour the purchases! :D

here is my order confirmation

got a reciept as well.. im in arkansas i wonder if they will have to honor this..worst is they will cancel.... but it would dwarf my bestbuy brand dynex 32incher.... i would have to order a big wall mount or a furniture and set it up like

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.

I think they can just return the monies which you have given them, so technically they don't have to give you the product you where wanting.

I think in this case they will just turn around and go "Sorry, we don't have any left" and give you your money back.

Also when it comes to online transactions and credit card payments in general most moderately large companies always wait a few days so that they can run transactions in one batch, this costs the company less money to process them as it would do processing each transaction on a single basis, that's why sometimes you might notice that the payment for your product might not come out of your account for a few days to a week, once you have given them your details they can take it out when they want.

[aussiefloyd_fan]

my order got canceled :laugh:

orly does it say so?

[Halfalive]

I ordered three.. :)

but my orders don't show up anymore either...

I think it's a law that if they advertise a price they have to sell it at that price. So they legelly can't cancel the orders. They can fix the site so no one else can get this deal, but they can't cancel the orders, they cause get in to bidg legel trouble.

I took some screenshots of the site...just in case, plus we have the forum post as proof....

[aussiefloyd_fan]

poeple on reggedit said thay called and bestbuy said "oops my bad" we are cancelling orders tomorrow morning.......... im too excited/****ed to sleep/go to work tomorrow(actually in 3.5 hours now)

[trag3dy]

ahhh, so don't bother ordering? That's a shame, I'm painting my room this weekend and it would look really nice on my newly painted walls. :rofl: :rofl:

If the order goes through - awesome. I'm just worried they'll charge full price. 80 bucks I have, I can't quite spare 2000 right now though. :o

i was almost asleep and had a glitch with my podcasts... .. i was listening to Marshalus meet the staff and i hit the pause area of my ipod and woke up to play again then thought... one last check of the 9 million posted thread.. and it got closed so i checked jokes and funny stuff... nothing then general and saw that.... i leaped out of beed across my room and into my chair.. or so it seemed mis typed my password twice then clicked like hell to this site to find it... and got my order in.. then pulling up bank info and snipping tools

I sure hope best buy honours this

$9.99 for the tv, $70 for delivery. Either way, if I get it and use it, or sell it.. it's a steal. Literally. :rofl:
