Asus hd4670 1GB card for $9.89

Not a hot deal if they dont honor this but it might be worth a try for bored people with nothing better to do. 🙂

Seems dead now.


Pricing mistakes are not Hot Deals. Do Not Post them.

This is from the rules here:

What about ETHICS?

If you question whether a deal is real or a mistake, call or write the company, and ask. If it is a valid deal, post it. If it isn't, DO NOT post it, and DO NOT complain about it.

Firefox comes up right, but comes up with an SSL error when it goes secure. IE and Chrome both come back with "Item is not available."

Edit: now FF is showing not available too. It's dead.

Another 4670 price mistake? There's another (suspected) one here:

$12.96 + shipping

I like real-time availability on that site and how it is either back ordered or just out of stock at all of their locations. Yet their system still lets you order. 😕
 
Right after I ordered 100 of these I called and asked about the price and they said it was a mistake so don't waste your time ordering but if I don't get them you can bet I'll sue the pants off that company for fraud and false advertising. 😉

LOL. Nice!
 
OH NOS!!!!!11!

The Asus ATI Radeon HD 4670,1G GDDR3 Video Card you ordered will not be filled. Due to recent changes
Provantage is no longer authorized to sell this item.

Please contact the manufacturer for a list of authorized resellers.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Oh well, was worth a try 🙂
 
As noted in this thread, several other resellers were subjected to the same data feed error that resulted in this pricing error, including ProVantage, who pulled the item in much the same way.

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.
