:disgust:

I just got an e-mail from Buy.com saying that they cancelled my order for the Athlon 850MHz processor because their supplier no longer carries the item. That sucks. This is not the first time that Buy.com has done this (and always when I used a coupon) hmmmm...... Anyone get the same cancellation e-mail? Here's what they sent me.....

You're lucky. Usually they wait a month or two before sending that e-mail. I have had it happen many times.
