who bought it!? it's out of stock now

[Manic!]

# Out of stock: Will ship when available.

[raygunpk]

wtf no wai

[CP.AR]

I'm pretty sure it'll be one of those "whoops, sorry we gave the wronng price, we won't honour it" things

edit:: JUST BOUGHT ONE - we'll see how it rolls

[JulyZerg]

fuck :(

[Manic!]

Ordered one but I bet it will be canceled.

Try to price match with futureshop?

Will try tomorrow. Printing the page right now.

[Kim Jong Un]

So can anyone confirm this? It is legit?

Also will Best Buy be open tomorrow? Victoria Day

[d1]

Just order 5 or something. I doubt they'd honor it but if they do, jackpot. If not, oh well.

[1exotic]

Looks like it was a big mistake...

but I'm pretty sure if people ordered it for $219.99 bestbuy has to sell it for that price... or there will be some sort of negotiation.

lol, looks like someone is getting fired.

[FN-2199]

Holy shit. must buy.

[SoulCrusher]

I dont think they'll honor it but still decided to give it a go.

[LiquidTurbo]

Just bought one! We'll see if it works. Big chance they'll reject it.

[JulyZerg]

WTF i can't do in-store pick up :(

[Mizter]

I ordered two. Have my fingers crossed!

[LiquidTurbo]

I'm not expecting much.. but it would be hilarious if it went through... Afterall, the charge and payment went through and everything.

Didn't this happen before with a TV and Futureshop just refunded everyones money and not honouring their agreement?

ordered one lol

lol im pretty sure it wont go through, it has happened before with futuresop, dell, and other online sites where there was a huge pricing error, something like $2000 on sale for 200, or 300, everyone bought it and they just canceled each and everyones orders, i believe they also have disclaimers on their sites stating something along the lines of price errors wil not be honored.

Nope. See these type of thing on redflagdeal.com all the time. most likely will just get a 10% off coupon.

[DuhDang]

read the terms of conditions

[JulyZerg]

Ok guys...honestly this has a better chance of going through then any other deals because why you ask?

It's NOT on RFD. I've heard of big companies honoring the deal if only a small group of people order it. So if we keep it strictly RS then theirs a SLIM possibility but I do think it won't go through though, regardless

[LiquidTurbo]

Don't post this on RFD then!

[K-Dub]

Hoard for your self. Ordered.

[JulyZerg]

^ agreed and don't be greedy and order like 5...

[LiquidTurbo]

If you order 5, they'll definitely terminate your order! LOL

[K-Dub]

Only ordered 1. I can't afford to spend 500 for a camera. :P

[PiuYi]

just ordered, hoping its not a scam

[LiquidTurbo]

It's not a scam.. a typing error. Clearly it was supposed to say 2199.99, $100 off.

take advantage of these errors by using price matching competitors! FUTURESHOP

i did this once where radioshack had gta 4 for sale when it was brand new at $39.99. I went to radioshack to buy it but i was rejected. I took the flyer over to eb games and got them to price match at $39.99

[hotong]

ordered lol

[LiquidTurbo]

Na.. this online mistake rectified by morning. Deal ends May25th, Futureshop is closed anyway.

And I'm pretty sure FS's ToC state they won't price match mistakes..

BB doesn't charge your CC till it actually ships, so since there are none in stock, they will simply cancel all orders..

exactly

[impactX]

The OP would probably have a slim chance to get it if he didn't share this with anyone. :lol

[twitchyzero]

price error only works when it happens on a sunday and no one will fix the webpage...then you go pricematch it somewhere and they cant call in to confirm stock or price hahaha.

any usually when they dont honour the deal they may give like $5-10 coupon code for your next purchase as a 'oops sry we fucked up'

lol- they won't be honouring it but i ordered anyways xD

No idiot staff at any official dealer will price match the error.

1. It shows out of stock, most places will not honor if its out of stock
2. No store will lose close to $1500-1700 just to please your sorry ass
3. Your treating the competition as a complete dumbass, thats fail on your part
4. stop trolling, your not "pleasing" any crowd, rather we are just laughing at you

Oh I agree. Other guy was saying how if people order more than one.. it ruins the deal for everyone.

[CP.AR]

I doubt that the deal will be honoured - unless somehow yours has already been shipped, of which they would have charged your credit card already.

What I do hope for is that BB comes with the "sorry we fucked up, here's a $10 gift certificate for you to spend"

They won't honour it. This happened during the FS Beat The Clock "promotion" some months back. Same deal. They screw up, they change the terms of the "contest" to read "promotion" and worm their way out of it.

You're right - this is a good deal. 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?

To be fair, the margin on electronics like computers and televisions is actually lower than you'd think which is why they have to mark-up accessories and warranties to actually turn a decent profit.

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.

Yes I've worked at best buy before so I know what your saying. I don't shop at best buy nor futureshop by the way.

My family loves taking pictures, so why not?
Buying the SLR at an extraodinary price which will last 5-10 years is a great gift for family members.

FYI I didn't even bother with this deal, I'm just saying there's no reason why bargain hunters should be called greedy pigs lol

Maybe I can make this a bit easier for you... Canon 7Ds arent actually in infinite supply from the Canon fairy - Future Shop only has so many cameras in their inventory. Lets say somehow this ridiculous price was actually honoured - the point everybody is trying to get through to you is that you can only use one camera and when you sell the other 4 you bought for your own personal profit, 4 other people who wanted one for their own use didnt get to buy one.

That's what makes you a greedy pig.

BB knows that by sending out, say, 1000 $10 coupons, they aren't losing $10k, but making it. i think most people will spend up to $50 to use their GC. i was cheap and spent it on a $40 game .. was thinkinga bout buying a $10 bluray, but there was nothing i wanted :/

if you guys who got GC's don't want to use them, i'll gladly take them off your hands :)

Big Chain stores like Best Buy are greedy pigs. 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". :haha:

The wires, warranties and installations of home theatres and etc. are where they make their money from. Profit margins on TV's, iPods and gaming consoles are very thin.

Maybe I can make this a bit easier for you... Canon 7Ds arent actually in infinite supply from the Canon fairy - Future Shop only has so many cameras in their inventory. Lets say somehow this ridiculous price was actually honoured - the point everybody is trying to get through to you is that you can only use one camera and when you sell the other 4 you bought for your own personal profit, 4 other people who wanted one for their own use didnt get to buy one.

That's what makes you a greedy pig.
Thank you! :thumbsup:

Buying one or two for personal use - fine. But buying 5 - you're clearly trying to take advantage of the situation and screwing others over. Not saying you specifically, but just generalizing.

Econ 101. Everyone is greedy.
Housing bubble, stock market crash, etc etc all caused by greed.
Why do you need 4 houses when you can only live in 1. Are you calling investment being greedy too? I buy a 3rd house at a bargain and sell it for $50,000 more. Am I greedy? In the real world, it's called making a great investment.
If they did honor the deal, I wouldn't mind buying their whole inventory. You can call me greedy, but why in the world would anyone pass on a great opportunity to make an amazing profit?
And I'm not setting this pricing mistake as a standard, i'm talking about the deals that actually are legit to begin with.
If that makes me a greedy pig in your eyes, I could really careless.

don't bring ur mumbo jumbo school stuff here. next time u order from mcdick's, half the workers there probably got degrees.

and that greedy theory is only part of the microeconomics theorem. and it's only a theorem, doesn't mean it'll work in real life. and if you put in all the clues of microeconomics in the equation, all u get is a big IDONTKNOWTHEANSWER

Greed is not the correct word due to it's connotations of "evil"/"bad" behaviour.

What people act out of is self-interest. That is the word you need to start using.

So... back on topic guys. Anyone who doesn't want their $10 I'd gladly take it off your hands = )

You're using the theorem wrong. It is only advantageous when you understand the concept.

Let me ask you, is it greedy to donate blood? Why do people donate blood if they are greedy? Why do people donate their money, food, and even clothes? Why do people give barber tips? Why do you tip at restaurants? If everyone is so greedy and that includes me. Why did I turn down free potato chips even though I know I like them.

When you answer some of these questions using your greed theory, you'll find that everyone being greedy is too general and means nothing. What does it mean to be greedy? Oh! Look! Everyone is greedy! lols

Let's go back to the thread example of the possible cheap SLR camera. Yes there is the guy who purchased 5 of them and yes he is greedy. But I chose not purchase any when it was available. Under your theory, I must be greedy too. It sure tells us a lot about being assuming everyone is greedy huh?

[ajax]

Buying that third house and than flipping it is not greedy. Flipping it when you know that if you do so affordable housing all around will decrease, because the homes are undervalued, drastically is greedy. In this case had the cameras been in stock and you bought 5 therefore notifying the seller of their mistake is greedy.

Buying a 3rd house and flipping houses will inadvertically increase housing prices in the surrounding area making it less affordable for others. This is why vancouver housing price is one of the highest in the country.
Get your head out of the gutter for godsakes. Fine. Greed is too harsh for you people. Self interest then.
If there was a limit per household on a sale item and I decided to scam it some how then yes, I am a greedy little whore. But when something is on sale without a limit and I want 5 of it for whatever reason, and that depleted the inventory left to purchase at a sale price. So what? Shouldve went to buy it before me.

People donate blood to help people, therefore they gain something from it, not materialistically but emotionally. Same thing with donating money, when I donate money not only do I help kids, I get the satisfaction of knowing I did something to help(gain for me). I hope you understand where I'm getting at. People give tips for good service and for reasons of, not being cheap, hot waitress, happy mood. Various reasons that are for your own self satisfaction(gain for the tipper).
As someone said earlier, maybe I used greed in the wrong context. The reality is everyone is indeed greedy in some way. You'll realize it one day haha.

bullshit, tvs and home theater system have a large sum of revenue. I know cuz i saw their cost before

ipods and gaming consoles, yes next to none. Simply becuz shitbox/sony/nintendo are taking advantage of it, same deal as CD/DVD


surprisingly laptop/PC dont have much margin to move either, but hence why the warranty is there to make up for it.

um no, tvs have a markup of let say, 10-20% where as accessories have a markup of 100-200% maybe even 300%...

there's a reason they push hard on the accessories when u buy electronics from them, telling u "oh u should get a monster cable surge protector, u dont want to spend thousands on a tv and shorten its life?" and then people fall for those talks.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

true true, wat im saying is there is still a nice chunk of markup to the electronics division.

obviously not as much as accessories, cables, adapter, simply insane.

Do you not see the bounds crossed to back up the statement "everyone is greedy"? I'm just saying it's too general and meaningless to say something like that. It's a good way to look like you're smart even though you know it holds no real meaning.

If you can't see why hoarding 5 cameras to yourself is being greedy, you are unable to distinguish between being greedy, and being reasonable.

[Manic!]

If I could I would have maxed out my credit card and my as many camera's as I could for $219.99 and then I would have used my dads credit card and bought a bunch more. Then flipped them on E-Bay. There is nothing wrong with making money.

[q0192837465]

So people should never buy anything on sale then because by doing so you are stripping away the opportunity of others to buy it at the same price. That makes no sense.

We should stop buying doorcrashers on Boxing Day altogether.

BTW, donation creates tax benefits, why da hell not?

WOW, that IS SHITTY for him. he must have bought an open box which was returned with an xsi in it, and who ever took the return back in did not check the product, or didnt know about cameras.

can he file a charge back if he used a credit card to pay for the item?

Thats why when i purchase expensive electronics, i will open the box right after I purchased it.. That way if something does fuck up, then I can let the manager/sales know.

[Blinky]

Actually, they don't. The fine print on BB's website says something to the effect that their website is not their legal offer for a sale. Something like their final confirmed $ invoice constitutes their offer for sale -- I forget the wording.
