Best Buy really fucked up this time. They only just fixed this a few minutes ago, but to little to late, they sold out of all their 52 inch HDTVs for only $9.99. [img]http://www.zilefile.com/files/8036_yuojr/10%20HDTV.jpg[/img] They changed it back to its original $1699.99. Check out the comments at the bottom.

What a deal, they were only 10$, so I proceeded to buy all of them.
Goddamn. Probably one person bought all of them. That's what I would've done. Edit: Just read the comments lol. One person apparently bought ten.
deja vu
I'm not surprised.

Best buy will not send them to any of the buyers most likely they will get an email or call saying what happend and give them the option to place there order for the correct price.

[QUOTE=peabrain101;16645888]Or refund the money.[/QUOTE] Yea they will refund the 10 Bucks, but wont send anyone a TV.
They should be forced to send the TV's.
[QUOTE=EvilFlames;16645958]They should be forced to send the TV's.[/QUOTE] They are smarter than you They should have put in their EULA that they would charge full price if an item is mispriced That would show 'em
holy fuck, awesome!

[QUOTE=ryandaniels;16646027]Someones getting fired... [highlight](Employee was fired for this post ("Predicting Management" - Richard M. Schulze))[/highlight][/QUOTE] I coughed laughing at that.
"I always shopped at Best Buy, my kids loved getting their gadgets from there. When I saw the offer for the TV, I couldn't resist and bought 10 of them, 1 for us and the rest for the orphenarium and such. However they billed with over 10.000 dollars instead of 50. Now my business is bankrupt, I got evicted out of my home, and I had to sell my kids to stay alive long enough to sell my kidney. So thanks Best Buy, thank you"
Damn! Wish I had seen that before they set the original price back! I would of bought all of them
Seriously i would of bought 50, retail price of 1699.99 sell at 1000 you'll easily sell them sell 50 at $1000 a piece deduct all fee's shipping fee's you had to pay bla bla bla...Minimum profit of $45000..You'll have to be a true hustler to pull this off. But highly doubt that best buy will actually send the merchandise but i'd demand for compensation if i was a customer who had purchased these, e.g company mislead you, false advertisement.
They won't give them shit, best they could do is give people a massive price cut because that's the law. At least it is here in canadia
You shitting me

False advertisement is when you "advertise" it as a price it's really not. It was a typing mistake and they have every right to correct it.
You could have bought the tv and used their special offer to save 100$ :D!!! LOL read the customer reviews - "overall sweet deal, it only costed me 9.99 per tv, that's pretty dope, so I just bought 10 of em, only bad thing is that recycling fees are lame." - "When I first clicked the link going to this tv, I was doubtful that such a great deal existed. However, to my surprise, it was real. I proceeded to order 50 of these ! - "I BOUGHT 2 OF THESE TVS FOR $20!! BEST DEAL EVER. BEST BUY IS SO GREAT FOR ALLOWING SUCH A GREAT BARGAIN." - "Admittedly, don't own the product yet, but have seen it displayed before and was very impressed. At $9.99 as the currently advertised price, this TV is going to be the best $10 I ever spent!"
Heh funny thing is that none of you have a mom like I do. Luckily I do, so I get to swoop in an alert everyone of a few pricing tips. If a store has a sale that has ended, but hasn't changed the sale price tag on the product, then once you contact the mananger they must sell it to you at said sale price. Same thing goes for this little accident right here.
Yeah that did not work for me
