A looooong time ago (perhaps 5 years now), I spoke with a smaller shop (smaller than Compaq anyway) about an abused deal I got in on (I knew the dealer and he called me up after I placed my order and told me he would honor it, but it was a mistake but he was going to cancel some orders)....he was going to honor the purchases until his own regular clients called up pissed that some no-name shop was selling them the same product they bought the last month for half price and not only that bad mouthing his company saying they are in the business to rip people off....turns out the no-name shop got a ton of the 'deal' and was brokering to the clients he listed on his 'Top Customer' page. It was a niche type shop selling really only one product (I forget exactly what it was now, maybe some sort of Home Theatre thingy, but could have been mountain biking or computers or even something else)).
Most vendors would gladly bite the bullet on a price mistake and honor the ppl that come in ordering 1, 2 or possibly even 3...however when you get 100 people ordering the max the cart allows in a row, the merchant now knows now people are profitting from his mistake and also possibly taking away future business or even slandering/libeling them.
Sure...it's a mistake and sure you can argue why not exploit it and make some money...but it's just that: exploitation, if you want to walk that side of the line of society I won't stop you, but I hope if you get found out these types of boards ban your sorry excuse for complex carbon groups
