Core i3-540 $0.99

who said it was happening for sure?

It's a $5 bet. nothing more, nothing less.

That's my take on it. I'm not giving the "shipping soon" much credit though, since it might just mean that the order was passed to MacMall's systems.
 
I got in on it on ebay (ordered 3), and they have already left me positive feedback as a buyer...

Same here.

Could be to get positive feedback from us so we don't do anything when they cancel!
 
At least he's not a Brainless Barbarian like people who think this is likely to come through :D!

Friend of mine once got a 19" Dell FP Monitor for $.07 on a price mistake when it was still a $5-600 model. Framed the packing list when it came in.

Oh I'm not saying it doesn't happen (I've gotten in on my fair share of nice little deals too ;) ) but as I said, it's not "likely to come through" :(. If it does, woot for you and more power to you on re-selling it for a nice profit (or using it) :D.
 
Almost 2 years ago I was looking on ebay for X3360-X3380's and came across a retailer selling server parts, his listing was 3 of them at 60.00 a piece, but the listing was only showing a server board HSF, I bit anyway figuring if they only sent the HSF's I would send them back.

The box came in and all I could see was the HSF's, I was thinking aw crap, but then noticed there were cpu's attached to them, pretty ecstatic that day.
 
somebody will fuck it up and order 100
Don't mean to be greedy, but the only way for something like this to work is to not share it. LOL

I mean yea there are good people out there who would buy 1 or at most 3, but then you have those looking to make a quick buck by reselling it and buying the whole stock.

Anyways if there ever was a price error on an Intel 6 core chip/EE chip, you bet your ass I wouldn't post it up because SOMEBODY will fuck it up and end up screwing YOU and obviously him/herself over.
 
I would have bought one in a heartbeat... or faster if i could manage. Awesome deal for whoever got it.
 
One guy bought 500, a few other guys bought a couple hundred each.

Price must have been a typo? Today is not going to be a fun day for that seller. :eek:
 
amazon took the money out of my bank account today...... am i really gonna get a i3? lol

500? couple hundred? That's the easiest way to get a price mistake flagged. Not that the chances were high to begin with, but when you get 2-3 people buying a combined 1000 units... :p
 
Do you think they have somebody that gives feedback on ebay separate from the shipping? Not sure why they would give us feedback/

I'm going to guess that their shipping department has nothing to do with their ebay seller section/worker
 
And so it begins... Forums meltdown of "I told you so," and/or "bait & switch, I'm suing" comments to follow. :rolleyes:
 
Anyone else get an email from MacMall? They're offering to send me a $30 check for my inconvenience.

I feel like a douche for accepting. :(
 
it is like lottery:d you bet and you know you might lose. It is 50/50 and you lost and you are mad at the lottery company? All I can say is:) Good game!
 
They just refunded my $1.98 without any explanation. :mad:

That sucks. The 100 that I ordered all went through...:confused::eek:

I am glad some of these people are getting refunded without explanation, because they are acting like complete pricks about it and complaining that they did not receive their item when it CLEARLY was mis-priced. Get over it...

Yup, getting mad about it is just amazing, everyone knew it was a price error... if you got it, cool, if it gets cancelled, cool, because you have no room to complain.
 
Math not needed, the IHS is all the clue you need. Looks like a Pentium 4 style to me.
 
Hmm I am still on the waiting line for amazon.

Shipping Soon
Delivery Estimate: July 8, 2011 - July 11, 2011

Maybe that 1 day shipping will pay off eh?

Heh, funny thing is, if you read his negative feedback, he does this with correct priced items too. And he seems to sell out of stock stuff. lol

Less of a douche than costing them the $80+ per cpu they could have accidentally shipped you.

When you put it in real dollar terms it seems more douchie but lets face it no one who ordered these cpus at the potential expense of a small company is really a stand up person.
