I called them and the CS rep told me it was a price mistake and all orders would be cancelled.

I didn't like that answer, so I called them again and spoke to someone else. She told me that discounts and rebates cannot be combined and someone is trying to cheat Dell. Then transferred me over to Kingston customer service.

I called a third time, and the rep processed my order for me and shipped it out personally!

That's sound about how Dell CS works. I ordered a monitor, it was OOS, so I called to cancel that order, took three calls.

Don't flame this poor guy, I'm sure he didn't really do this, before everyone gets uppity.

My card was hit, deal could still go bad though.

They probably cancel and keep the charges on our cards for a week.

 

[meederboy]

I was wrong about the hard drive
I ordered one of these on the off chance that the same thing will happen to this
I'm hoping that those who got in on it in the first hour or so will have theirs shipped
Fingers crossed, but breath not held

I just got in on one and put 2nd day shipping... so do they charge your card now and then refund it later if it doesnt go through? I got a debit/credit with only like 150 bucks on it so if they charge me the real price im screwed

The 2nd time I called to cancel my monitor order, they transfered me to someone that was trying to sign me up for something!! Was internal to Dell though.

They "authorize" your card for the purchase amount immediately.

Dell is pretty ethical, they will not charge you more without contacting you first.

Anyone else find it ironic that we're trying to buy karma?

I could use some extra karma, then maybe I'll win the lottery and I can quit my job! Of course, then when would I read ATHDs!!!

What does everyone guess the sales volume we did today? 10K? Odds of shipping?

I just called the MGM, vegas odds on us ever seeing these are about the same as Dell stopping their "pricing" errors

 

[iamshady]

This will be cancelled, but I gave it a shot... you'd think Dell would get straight with this pricing errors by now.

Maybe I have a large family?

Naah - 2 small orders, and then finally a bigger order to cover the cost of the smaller orders.....

Then again, maybe ebay will be flooded. Maybe the price really is only $80 next week, and dell got a jump on it.

You never know.

 

[Flair]

You would think Dell would have changed the page by now.

I did not even think of that

However is it good or bad karma we are trying to buy?

If the MP3 player sucks than $80 for bad karma is NOT a hot deal.

Fate; destiny.

I agree that no one should be buying more than one or two - not that it will go through anyhow (I still tried to order one though).
