DEAD!! Maxtor 8mb-cache 160gb EIDE ATA-133 7200 RPM $116.99

[GermyBoy]

160GB is definately not a lot of space nowadays. Especially not if you deal in video. I am pushing 400GB personally, and will soon purchase my TB datacenter.

This is really a nef post to complain about the nef.
For those of you that think you're going to get this deal, you're stupid.
For those of you that think you're going to sue because of this deal, please stop breathing.


Thank you.

lol, I tried to add one to my cart but it takes me back to the main page. Great deal if you get one!

For all you newbies, and those who should know better, a deal like this can work if even only until tomorrow *IF* some FOOL does not call the CSR !!!
WTF would you call and take a chance of jeopardizing your order?!

 

[BeSharp]

I'm not able to order, it won't allow me add it to my cart, it just takes me back to the home page when I try to add it to my cart

 

[wolf papa]

this is the same kind of Zones deal that has happened before, a "no-deal". Yeah, I got a cheesy calculator last time. After the way they botched the follow-up to their screw up, I decided I'd never do business with them again. :disgust:

added - confirmation emails and having your credit card charged mean NOTHING - I got the confirmations and CC charges on a previous Zones fiasco, sometimes I wonder if this is just a way to add some e-mail addresses to their database.

is this a new drive or what? i didn't even know maxtor had 8mb cache drives yet.

<--- out of the loop

Oh, well, no biggie. Would have loved to get this, but didn't NEED it. Don't start B1tching guys and gals...... you win some, you lose some.

Ha, i'd never order from zones again. They pulled the same thing last year for the 40gig drives listed at $49. Cancelled all orders, and shipped a broken calculator in the mail as an apology.

 

[dartworth]

got the email too...oh well

 

[dethman]

wow that was a quick cancellation.

 

[Lanyap]

Bad upload from supplier? I think a lot of the larger etailers receive automated feeds from their suppliers like Ingram Micro. They don't know about the mistake until they get hundreds or thousands of orders in a short time frame (or they are watching us).

 

[masterxfob]

got the same email i just hope they don't spam me

 

[wolf papa]

if I remember correctly, the 40gig drives last year that were "unavailable, unfulfilled" or some such crap, WERE later available at a much higher price <morons>

 

[PsychoAndy]

Anybody want to form a class action and raise all sorts of hell?

I'm up for a good 'ol fashioned hell raising if you are.

[poopaskoopa]

Got my order cancelled. Oh well.

 

[Justus]

Just got the same email from Zones. Now I'm really angry! So where's my broken mini-calculator they should give me. Cheep cheep.....

do you think we need to monitor Zones' site and if these drives do show contrary to product will not be fulfilled to us statement....

Make sure everyone visits reseller ratings. And we drop them lower than GAMESTOP like the ATI 9700 deal.


Trash them good!!!!! They were @ 7 when i bought now they are down to 5. I would like to see them below 1!!!!

[wuman82]

[tedinde1]

you guys ordered something that OBVIOUSLY was a price mistake and now you want to ruin their reputation

and now their is talk of a class action lawsuit

im sorry but a small company like this would probably go bankrupt fullfilling all these orders
what do you guys expect?

though i do think shipping out broken calculators is an assenine thing to do

if I know its a price mistake i order and if it gets cancelled no biggie

its not like i lost anything

i doubt the CSR's there know anything and i would never take their word unless it was in writing

god forbid it should happened to your web store?

this is a lot different than a B&M doing this because

they can change the price right after they realize the mistake they can change it

and its not like 2000 people can order it before they realize it is a mistake


also wouldnt the same price from computers4sure also mean that it was infact a pricing error by the manufacturer?
