I just ordered a Canon All-In-One Printer from Microcenter

Mwahahahahahahaha!

They go for $250 elsewhere.

I foresee a "Sorry, we made a mistake" situation in my future. Wish me luck!

Update: Pwned by Microcenter.
 
I did it once a couple years ago with a mispriced Canon camcorder. I got it for $250 when the going price was ~$500 and they honored it. By the time I got home an hour later, the price had changed back to normal.
 
if you mask it within another purchase (like canon printer cartridges and the USB cable you will need) they might not notice.
 
I really want to put you down for being dishonest.

I also want to purchase a Canon All-In-One Printer for 87 cents though.

Meh...anyone have any cake?

It's not really dishonest to TRY and take advantage of a mistake, but if they deny him and he starts threatening to sue, then that's going a bit overboard.


Few years back (like 5 or so) Staples had a deal on a Samsung 21" CRT for like $140, in store only, but their website had it as well. I used a coupon to get it for like half off, and it was free shipping, so with taxes I ended up paying $80 for the thing. They put my order "on hold" for a week until I called in and asked, they said it was in-store only and shouldn't have ever been online since people could use coupons and get free shipping and whatnot. But they let me have it anyways since they're super nice. Dual 21" CRTs was sweet, although I didn't need a heater in my room that winter.

Holy moly, the free shipping alone on a 21" CRT was a huge savings, they're beasts.

I know 🙁....when I moved to Canada I pretty much did though. I pulled the video card, the harddrives, and sound card from my box, sold the rest to a friend, and then let the guy I was renting a room from have everything else. He got a queen sized bed, a dresser, 24" TV, two 21" CRT monitors, table, chair, all that good stuff. None of it was worth much, but he could sell some or give it to friends. I put the parts in my luggage and flew over here.
 
Haha I can't believe someone revived this.

I got a confirmation Email, so I headed over there. As I was getting out of my car I got an email saying my order was cancelled b/c the product was no longer available. I didn't even inquire about it in the store, I just looked at photo printers and went on my jolly way.

I'd take one if I thought my desk would hold it... I'm not entirely certain how much longer it'll hold the 19" on it. The 20 or so drywall screws definitely help 😛
 
I ordered a MB from microcenter for $40 that normally sold for $140. It was just a price mistake, and most people got rejection emails. I figured the deal was dead. I forget I had ordered it and about 4 months later UPS delivered it to me.
