cant we sue for millions of dollars because of false advertising....then we will have enough money to actually buy these things even at $19,999

I think this is a price mistake, just like the apple 22" LCD couple months ago.

This is too good to be ture!

Holly shxt!!

you guys is not going to belive this, my friend he called this place up and purchased one with the price $1395.95 + shipping comes up to $1700. He said he talk to the manager and the manger honored the price to him, and he even give him a order number. I don't think this will work anymore since the manger said he will change the price right away.

I just coudnt belive this, let see if they really going to ship the Plasma out to my friend. :Q

Yeah I'm sure this place is going to take a $18K loss on this item and sell it to your friend.

 

[ianbergman]

wow, let us know if your friend receives his. if so, my respect for this company just went thru the roof.

 

[badluck]

dood, they didn't sell "your friend" one and take that big of a loss.......come on....

 

[nugglife4me]

shyehh, right. Price mistakes are becoming rampant these days or AT'ers are really perusing these sites hard

 

[chopsticker]

Just called them up, the price is $19,999 and they're not honoring the price mistake. Sorry folks, deal is dead.

 

[Miramonti]

In your DREAMS if you're getting plasma for $1,359 before 2007!!

I believe they can make such a mistake. They made 2 huge ones with me.

#1 Placed an order for an Mits HDTV a year after they first came out and were still in short supply. They send shipping confirmation, but then the set never arrives. We cancel the Mits and get a Pioneer instead, overriding (and apparently detroying any record of) the Mits. The Pio arrives. 2 weeks later the Mits arrives. I call and they say "we have no record of that shipment. You should just take delivery." I tried to give it back, but they really want to give me the Mits for free. Plus, the original mix-up led to a sweet (at the time) deal on the Pio. Total savings: $3900 (Cost of Mits plus discount on Pio)

#2 I order a set of Atlantic Tech speakers (sub, center, left right, 2 surrounds) plus an extra set of fronts (this was before "6.1" but my Denon receiver would allow me to switch the surrounds from the dipoles to monopoles depending on the source). They charge me for everything and send the 5.1 setup, but not the extra fronts. I call to complain and at this point they say they cannot sell AT because AT does not authorize internet sales (except for a few select models). They are happy to refund my purchase. Someone must have figured if they can't sell AT then I never got the 5.1 setup, and therefore credit my card for the entire amout! Total savings $1200.

I was SO sure they would be the first to go in the big internet retailer shakeout, but I guess not. I am not surprised if they let a typo slide for one person. Maybe they're a money-laundering front1

The company must be insane. I wonder how big of a company they are, that they can afford to take losses like that.

Latest updates from my friend:

"Oh I forgot to tell you.. they called me back and told me about the legal statement and the district manager decided not to sell the dame TV to me! "

too bad but nice try!!!

 

[aoLhaTer]

anyone notice the 519 dollar deskstand?

 

[Kcucumber]

it's only plasma, what's so special about it? a regular 60" costs 2000 range and probably a good one too. anyways, they will make something better than plasma and the damn price will drop like bird shi*

 

[leonc]

Kind of odd that they "know" about the price mistake, but it still comes up
with the error now. Sounds like they are using the error to get you in
to the site.

I just called to verify that they don't have any sales personel stupid enough to sell it to me for $1300.... The conversation went something like this:

Rep: "How can I help you?"
Me: "Hi, I'm interested in a plasma television"
Rep: "Are you referring to model number MU-60PZ10B?"
Me: "Ummm... yes... that's the one..."
Rep: "There is a price mistake on our website that we are waiting to be fixed... blah, blah, blah.....I'd buy one myself if they were that cheap.... blah, blah, blah... the are regularly $20K.... blah, blah, blah"
Me: "Ummmm... bye."

I didn't even tell them I was looking at the website or which model, only that I was interested in a "plasma tv". Supposedly it will be fixed later today...
