FW is another Hot Deals site called F4tW4llet (substitute a for 4) since that word is not allowed here. 
FW had this deal posted last night.
FW had this deal posted last night.
Adding it to my shopping cart was easy enough. However, it kept stopping me on a page for me to select where to deliver it to because it said that this item is not available for delivery. The funny thing is that I had selected In-Store pickup. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I didn't care since I didn't want it anyway. This was for a Tampa, FL address.
I had them check stock in my whole district. None available. He said it was a closeout model and that I probably would not find them anywhere.

and FW ripped it from techbargins, it's been there for days. i talked with the originator of the deal, this tv has been on clearance...for months. he said the odds of you finding one are almost 0. they should be long gone by now
Funny thing is, I called BB out of curiosity to see if he could tell me where they may have some and the first couple sentences went like this:
Cus Service: "May I help you?"
Me: "Yes, I am calling about a television which is advertised on your website."
Cus Service: "Would that be model 43A10?"
Me: "Yeah, that's the one..."
I'll spare you the rest of the details but, if their reps know right off the bat which one it is without me even saying something, it means this TV ends up costing BB mega money in the end. Paying for all the questions and irate consumers, not to mention the reduced price.
no reason to be pissed at them, they're getting theirs...believe me.
Anybody try to get a "pissed of customer certificate" (POCC)?

It wouldn't surprise me if there was someone sitting around over there thinking up these pricing "errors" just to generate publicity. Ever heard of "loss leader" or "bait & switch?"

with the recent Best Buy GF4 fiasco, I think everyone's heard of it
I ordered one.
Yes, I originally had the problem that it was not available in my area. But, I decided to use my $30 coupon on some CD-R's. If you add something other than the TV to your cart BEFORE the TV, and then add the 43" Toshiba to your cart, the order goes through just fine for both things. First, I tried the same thing with the TV in the cart first, but I could not get all the way through the checkout.
I ordered one, I even called Best Buy and confirmed the order, they claimed the TV was on order and should ship in 5 to 7 days. Anybody else able to do the same?

Ok I just tried it....added American Pie DVD then added the TV and the deliver option was available. Interestingly, the shipping charge only changed based on the price of the DVD not the TV. But let's see if I get the TV.
Did same...added some Memorex 10x CD-RWs and then the TV at just Ground with in-store pickup for both items.
Total Credit Card Charge: $567.62
Now...we'll see....

Even after adding a DVD it's not working for me. After I confirm the shipping address it doesn't advance to the next screen, instead I see the following at the top in RED:
One or more errors were encountered.
The Special Home Delivery Item(s) is not Available for delivery in your area. Please select a different address.
Any ideas on how to get around this and complete my order?

Did you add the DVD before the TV? I went right to the home page from a new browser window, added the CD-RW media then pasted in the link from above and added the TV to the cart.

Nope, first I clicked the link that azdollars provided then added the DVD. I'll clear my cart, go to www.bestbuy.com add a DVD then add the TV.
i got some jewel case then the tv. it went thru. total + tax: $575.32. hopefully it'll go through.
