Monarch Computers

[Theslowone]

This is just a little dispute, and its not in the forums. How come anandtech doesn't filter their prices they put up. Monarch computers have the lowest prices on a lot of the products and its 30 bucks. We all know that is not what they are selling the product for.

Sorry about the mistake. It was a temporary bug on our behalf. We corrected the problem within an hour of detection. The official response was posted in the "price guide" feedback section.


I just wanted to mention real quick, if the merchants seem drastically wrong, its a problem on our end not the merchants. All of the merchants are browsed by AnandTech bots, rather than grabbed from some PriceWatch database (or something of the like). Sometimes, if a every price on a merchant is off, their webpage probably changed.

The problem we had was that the MonarchComputer webpage changed, and since one of our interns was logged into the system it never warned us. The resulting error was every Monarch link was posted at 30 bucks. For those of you who track the system closely, this happened to another merchant about 2 weeks ago before we put the warnings in.

In anycase, we have multiple levels of monitoring now, we should be in much better shape for these occurances.

Thanks for your patience!

Hope that helps!
