god damnt i ordered one foor 110 yesterday

 

[ToyMachine228]

Holy cow! How long is that going to last?

 

[Rockman]

Damn, I wonder how long this deal will last.

 

[sly]

Welcome to last minute Wario http://new.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=51982 And its four cents cheaper too!

That is a really good deal!

 

[Wario64]

its obviously a typo

 

[Jason]

bitches won't ship this to Canada due to shipping restrictions. Anyone want to buy one for me...I can paypal ya.

 

[DarienA]

I don't need it(thanks to that photo place in NYC) but I just ordered one... if they actually ship it to me at that price I'll just sell the damn thing on Ebay.

 

[Matlock]

Guess I'll take the dive, see if they let it slide, and sell it on eBay (or GAF) for a reasonable price.

 

[Barnimal]

1 gig GET!

 

[blahness]

woop! thx just ordered

 

[Flo_Evans]

looks like its definatly a mistake - thier 512 is 69.96... oh well I ordered 2^^ I'll see if they send them out at that price.

 

[Deleted member 284]

its obviously a typo

Im on the phone right now ordering two cards.

93.47 will arrive on the 28th of june

 

[maynerd]

Golden rule on deals. NEVER call them! This deal is probably dead now.

 

[Deleted member 284]

Didn't realize. Well, I was the only person that called so far.

 

[Great King Bowser]

If anyone wants to order an extra and are willing to ship to the UK, I'll make it worth your while.

 

[Jim]

Sold Out already.. sheesh...

 

[vatstep]

Didn't realize. Well, I was the only person that called so far.

What, did you ask? Because that certainly won't tip them off.. (even though they're sold out now anyways).

My guess....

"Is this price right? This price is certainly wrong...why would you sell them for so cheap...I think you have a pricing error on your site...I'll take 2!"

It's no surprise to me that this deal died quickly.

 

[shuri]

Those professionnal deal hunters probably ordered 30 of them, expecting to make a killing on ebay. Bitches

No, I just put the order in, confirmed the price, evil laughed, realized I was still on phone, awkward silence, thanked rep, hung up phone and resumed my evil laugh.

 

[Wario64]

you guys sure make up theories quickly

this deal was posted long before it was on gaf, and was already posted on other forums. you guys got on the deal late, not my fault olubode had nothing to do with making it sell out

 

[Sp3eD]

I wish their was some way to see their little sales ticker like they have on the shows.

It would probably jump from 0 to several thousand in seconds :lol

 

[DarienA]

Geez it's not scheduled to arrive til the 28th... I should have ordered 2....

 

[Matlock]

LET'S BLAME THE BLACK MAN FOR THIS ONE

 

[aoi tsuki]

Ordered two, one for myself, one for someone else. Thanks for the heads up on the deal (also to the other OP). i'm surprised there were any left by time it got to GAF.

I was joking about what olubode said.... But it had to be said...

NEVER call a place directly about an internet price.

I got my order in...we will see if it ships.

 

[Matlock]

Looks like they took my money already for it, here's to hopin'.

 

[DarienA]

Yeah I see the hold on my card too.

Damn, I missed out. That is what sucks about actually doing work when you are at work.

This should teach you a valuable lesson then.

LET'S BLAME THE BLACK MAN FOR THIS ONE

Hahahah...
Can they cancel the order at anytime?

 

[DarienA]

Well just checked my status... and it now says:

Backorder: 6/17/2005

bah

 

[Matlock]

Same here, Darien. :-\

 

[blahness]

mine is on backorder as well... i called qvc to see how long it takes for backordered items to be restocked... they said around 2-3 weeks

 

[JPRaup]

I'm guessing all orders will be cancelled soon enough. I just saw this posted over at www.cheapassgamer.com -

Karen J: Just a few minutes please....
Eric Handshoe: no problem
Karen J: Mr. Handshoe, I'm very sorry, E139116, the Disk 1GB Gaming Memory Stick PRO Duo, is in backorder for up to 2 to 3 weeks,.
Karen J:
Karen J: We are trying to get the item in on an urgent basic.
Karen J: What else may I help you with?
Eric Handshoe: Why did they tell me they had it yesterday???
Karen J: We didn't know the item was going into backorder at the time the order was placed.
Eric Handshoe: and it will be 2 weeks?

Karen J: I regret the status of your order. All of the orders for this item are on backorder. There may have been a problem with the item and was shipped back to the mfg.
Eric Handshoe: So none of the items were shipped?
Karen J: That's correct.
Eric Handshoe: Ok. Well thank you for your time.

Fatwallet is reporting some order cancellations, both CAG and Fatwallet are reporting that customer service are disavowing knowledge of the 1GB to new customers, and both of 'em are saying this is probably a tactic to cancel the orders.

Even the people that ordered early are backordered.

Eric Handshoe: Hello Karen

Handshoe's a kinda weird last name.

My order of operations:

1) Whip out wallet
2) Click link
3) Take out credit card
4) See some "item is not available error"
5) Say, "Fuck you, home shopping network"
6) See all this shit about a 3 week backorder
7) Release a sigh of relief since I'm leaving for japan in 13 days.
