I tried purchasing this keyboard to see how Amazon would handle this order. I thought the automated system would block it or my credit card company would deny the transaction but I WAS WRONG. It seems American Express's system didn't catch the transaction or someone over their approved it as a cruel joke! I received a confirmation email and checked my credit card balance and to my horror the whole transaction went through smoothly. I tried calling Amazon but their customer service is closed until Monday. I have no choice but to accept the item and return for a FULL refund. My only problem is how much do I insure it for? With my luck the mail carrier will damgage it and I will be liable for $400k-$500k in repairs! GOD HELP ME!!!

WOW :Q :D



LMAO!!!!!!!!

What an Idiot! The same person who actually put that rediculouse price on the item probably accepted the purchase! He's probably the persons sibling!


err... you are teh stupid? the original post is facetious (evidenced by the 400-500k estimated cost in repairs).


Well I can't say for sure that the whole thing was facetious, But I think when he was saying that he would be liable for 400k-500k in repaires, he was saying that it would be only IF the mail man damages the package. It is doubtful it would get to that point as i am sure he would have canceled the order by then. IMO I think it is true that he actually ordered it, there is too much info supporting it in the post. Although I could be "The Stupid".

Whoa, you spelled "facetious" correctly. Are you sure you're allowed to be on ATOT?

Ah, now there's a real ATOT'er.

Big deal! I added an "e" by mistake. It happens. I say there should be a spell checker on AT!

There's also the small matter of substitution of the initial "i" with an "e" in this instance. Today's letter must be "E" :)

Actually, you added two E's.
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.
Not that it matters much; I was just amazed that one of you spelled a trisyllabic word properly.
I agree with you on the spell checker. :)
