someone please take out the garbage :disgust:




I recall in 1999 when I ordered 1000 leather attache bags from staples for a penny a piece and got them DELIVERED via two UPS trucks. The people here were very good about it...demanding that I sell them cheap or give them away. I did. After the first 100 people bought them for the cost of shipping, I got more hate e-mail.

Reminded me of the old Lincoln quote...you can please some of the people...

BUT, I would not have trashed staples had they failed to deliver...

you wouold have been better off not saying anything about this. There is no way in hell you will see anything after announcing it here. They will have 5000 orders by Monday. A big kick in the nuts goes out to all the jerkoffs ordering 10+

Edit: Anyone find any $.50 lenses to go with this?? :D


I have AMEX Blue and according to AMEX's website, they no longer offer one-time payment credit card numbers. Is this not true?

Ah, you're right, guess blue's goin downhill...lovin my citi dividends card though.

Monday morning...

Dear Customer:



Please be advised that the price on our website over the weekend for the Kodak
DCS PRO SLR C camera, was a typographical error. The correct price on the camera
is $4,299.00 less $1,000.00 instant consumer rebate. This is equal to $3,299.00.



Your order was cancelled and there were no charges applied to your credit card..


At least they were prompt/up front about it, may do real business with them in the future, anyone get the deal/better offer?

I never got the cancelation email and my order still shows up as procesing. Just got a survey from shopping.com.

Wonder if it will come?

Sweet dreams Baby, and so forth. Surely no one actually thought any of these orders would be honored, did they? If they were dumb enough to drop the price, they could go to ebay and sell all for over a grand each ... what would possess anyone to believe they would instead sell for $3 to individuals?
