    DEAD (with official Dell statement) - Rio Karma 20GB Jukebox for $50.

    If Dell's prices were wrong 75% of the time, you might have a point. But Dell probably sells tens of thousands of items, so making less then 10 mistakes a year means they are wrong under 0.1% of the time. Dell could easily correct the problems that have been having with price mistakes...

    Canon S400 $169.99 after Price Match

    There is a fundamental difference between the two cases. If compay A makes a mistake, and you take advantage of it by buying the item cheap from company A, that is fine. If company A makes a mistake, and you use company A's mistake to trick company B into selling you the product cheap, that is...

    Canon S400 $169.99 after Price Match

    The rules say you can only pricematch with a valid price. You pricematched with a price that was not valid. Therefore you did not follow the rules. There is a slight distinction in what you did and, say, breaking into a Best Buy at night and stealing the camera, because in your case, a low...

    Warm: Canon A70 + 64 MB CF for $250 + tax at OfficeMax

    It is 300 at Gateway, but I happen to have a 50 off (one time use) coupon that they must have sent to former customers. Last time I bought a Gateway was about 5 years ago, but I got it in the mail. And their site says they will ship in 3 days (as oppsed to Dell, which says 2 weeks). So...

    Warm: Canon A70 + 64 MB CF for $250 + tax at OfficeMax

    Same here. Interstingly, they havent charged my credit card yet. I would really like to cancel my order and buy from Gateway (since I need the camera soon), but I am not sure what to do now.

    Warm: Canon A70 + 64 MB CF for $250 + tax at OfficeMax

    Gateway has the 299 price too. And I have a 50 off coupon (one time only) from them. See if you can find someone who has bought a gateway that doesnt need their coupon. It would be the same price, only without the CF. hmmmmm, is it worth canceling my OfficeMax order?

    Warm: Canon A70 + 64 MB CF for $250 + tax at OfficeMax

    I dont know if it means anything, but I called OfficeMax, and they told me that their policy is this: 1) attempt to ship within 7 business days, 2) if they cant do that, inform the buyer at 7 days how long it will take. I can't say I trust them, but that sounds like a fair policy.

    Warm: Canon A70 + 64 MB CF for $250 + tax at OfficeMax

    Well, I went ahead and ordered it, since I need one for this summer. I was pretty excited because my confirmation email said my order would be delivered by the 6th. Unfortunately, that only means they are going to deliver the 64M card by then - the camera is on back order. Anyone have any...
