Is this legal?
Isn't this bait and switch, fraud, misrepresentation, or something like that.
I have a purchase confrimation email saying I just purchased a compaq presario. Aren't they now bound by legal contract to come up with the product?
A few years back a pricing mistake in a store here in Alaska listed a TV as $50. They legaly had to sell it to my friend for that. Isn't there rules governing the web the same way?

Read their terms of service. They reserve the right to cancel things at their discretion when their is a pricing mistake, but will ask you to approve any changes or problems that were found with their order.

It's only bait and switch if you offer something at a certain price, don't tell the consumer about limited quantities or something, then tell them you are offerring a similar product for more money. Nothing of that sort is happening here.

It's legal for them to cancel the order. Read their policy. If they have it in writing there really isnt any way for you to argue it.

You don't exactly have Nostradamus quaking in his boots with that prediction.

I guess we can add another name to list of Target employee that have less knowledge of the company that employees them than the average customer. I get so tired of showing Target employees how to do their job. Once I was followed out to my car by 8 Target employees for purchasing a bike they had on clearance for "too cheap" and escorted back into the store with threats of calling the police, demanding that I return the bike. One call to corporate left a manager without a job and 4 other employees doing bike carryouts for me at the store where they had 4 bikes waiting for me the next day.

Just to let you guys know, the target retail chain does not sell laptops. The online store carries many items that the retail stores don't. Just to clearify a few things here. I'm only a part time worker at target. It's more like pocket change to buy my books at school.
