Some Corsair memory priced at $6.17.

That happens when, for some reason, my whole-sale cost field gets reset to "0" for a product. Then my pricing formula kicks out $6.17 based on a 0 input.

It happened once when I did an update of prices for all my OCZ products; every single one got set at that price. I had a guy order 50 of something, and when I cancelled his order, he got completely irate and said, "I did extensive research into this part to find the best price possible, and if I want to cancel this order, I WILL TELL YOU."

Ha, if he did that much research, wouldn't it strike him as odd that the price was $6.17?

Furthermore, I'm sure he intended to order 50 from the start, surely he wasn't trying to take advantage of an error :)

"extensive research" = he Froogled it ;)
btw - That was a fast correction :p. I had barely posted this for 15 min before you found out about it.

Well, I'm "Johnny on the spot" this weekend. My fiance is 3 states away, and I chose to stick around for the weekend due to gas prices... so I'm just "working" all weekend. No rest for the weary!
