Canceled. Doh...

Although they did give a $20 coupon so no bad reseller ratings for them. Kudos.

There have been alot of these price-mistakes going on, and I've had my fair share of cancellations. I must say that mwave handled it the best. I received an immediate credit to my AMEX, got a cancellation email on the next business day and the $20 credit which is good for a whole year. Bravo, mwave.com, I'll continue to be a customer.

My theory on the price mistake stuff.

I think some companies set their real time pricing engine to a competitors same product only a few dollars more or less. The other company notices this takes their product out of stock then drops the price leaving the first company with a nonprofitable sale price.
