just remember kids, just because you have an SLR does not mean you are a photographer.

I can't believe they are giving $10 coupons to people hoping to scam them out of $2000, sometimes hundreds of times

For those that do use it, they would likely have purchased something overpriced from Best Buy anyway!

I hope they check their IP records so they don't end up giving multiple discounts to the greediest of pigs

i wonder if anyone actually ever received an error item with the wrong price tag. Otherwise its really point less racking up the hype, when you know they will bounce back afterwards.
waste of time.

Selling a 50cent wire for $15-20 bucks? Why would they even check IP? This is the perfect opportunity to have positive PR while having a low cost ($10 -> their real cost is probably $2) .
You must be balling outa control to pass on a good deal like this! Why don't you talk shit about superstore and home depot about charging people extra taxes over the years.
You have the habit of insulting anything that you think is "sub par" to your uber fucking high "moral standard".  | |

But how many people who ordered the Canon 7D for $220 actually wanted one for personal use?

Why not? 220 for a sick camera, I'd buy it just to look at it, replace my digital camera, give it to family, give it to friends, sell it on craigslist. $220 is too good of a deal to pass, if it was true i'd buy 5 as well, one for each member of my family? Is there anything greedy with that?

If BestBuy/Futureshop are greedy pigs, then don't shop there. Quote: |

| Why would every member of your family need an SLR camera? Couldn't you just buy one (or two) at the most and share them? I guess some people just have too much cash to blow.
I guess it's like the desire to have a TV in each room of a house. I just don't understand it.
