Pricing feed errors are beyond any reseller's control, especially when they occur during automated site maintenance on a weekend. We acted promptly, and removed the item on Monday morning, and emailed all forum administrators to please pull the links pointing to the item and site. Unfortunately, we have no other method of removing a posting pointing to an item suffering from a pricing error.

We don't enjoy when things like this happen. The traffic we experienced took down the site negating business from correctly priced items; we've apologized on all forums we can find; we emailed every person who placed an order; and this has pretty much consumed our entire Monday.

We felt we should explain the issue as much as possible on any forums that sent traffic our way. However, we won't be posting any follow up responses on this topic. We corrected the mistake and pulled the item as quickly as possible, and we apologize to all for any inconvenience.

Sounds like a good way to get unethical traffic hits and id's and credit of customers that wouldnt have shopped at provantage if not for this. I should sell 10 dollar videocards on my blog and inject it automated shopping sites for ad revenue :disgust:

I dont get your cookie. Are you implying that what I said is akin to complaining and threatening legal action because I didnt get a 10 dollar videocard? My complaint is that the pricing was up for so long and included in googles product search engine not to mention the numerous identities of possible people betting their luck on getting a cheap card. I see these pricing mistakes as related to a bait and switch tactics.

I waited over 24 hours before posting this on anandtech to see if the listing would be corrected. It wasnt so I posted it. You're not comprehending 'deepinyas' quote correctly.

Okay, just this one follow up, and that will be it.

We are not ProVantage. Please do not quote us if you are dissatisfied with them.

We removed the item from our site by 10:00 AM Monday morning, 5/18/09. We have no advertisements from which to derive revenue. Per the notice sent to all prospective customers, and that which appears on our site, all orders were immediately cancelled and all customer information discarded.

If you asked us now who ordered, we wouldn't be able to tell you. It's all been discarded.

Thank you for your consideration.
