It's annoying listening to the extent people will go to, to get something they didn't deserve in the first place.
Why the fuck should Tiger Direct/Amazon honor this? I'm sure the few hundred or so customers that will now "refuse" to buy from Amazon or Tiger Direct will have massive hits on their sales and reputation eh?
I stopped bothering with price-mistakes because it always happens... you a.) get a cancellation email or b.) get the wrong item shipped. whatever happens, it's a waste of time for everyone involved because some people want to take advantage of another person's mistake so they can get something a little cheaper to turn around and sell on ebay.
That's another thing that pisses the fuck out of me... see someone post a [H]ot deal thread, someone buys it and throws it back up on F/S/T for $100 more then they paid within minutes of them posting "THANKS FOR POSTING THIS DEAL OP!!11"... What the fuck? This forum gives you the deal and you shit all over them for a little cash? I sold a Rocketfish case at basically a loss (while a very small loss) it was still a loss so a guy in Canada could get a case that wasn't available there (I think after shipping it was ~$100... $52 for the case ~$50 for shipping) ... another instance there was free Oakley bags... the OP who posted the original deal never got one, I didn't need it so I mailed it to him for free. (cost... a postage stamp)
Whatever...
