Almost like falling off a truck...

An ad briefly on dell's website this morning:



Folks I hang with on IRC managed to put in 7 or 8 orders (complete with having their cards charged) before it reverted to $240.

Odds are Dell will reverse the charges and cancel the orders, but it would be quite the deal if they honoured the orders.

Wow. I wonder what made that happen...

Bet someone was in a rush this morning. :)

That would have so rocked.

I'll be very amused if my friend R. gets his 4.

I do believe they have to honour it. I'm not sure the legalities involved, but given it was an advertised price and they charged the credit card (thus completing the transaction) I doubt they can do anything about it

Sweet find if it works out :)

That superscript (1) next to the price? ...it links to a set of terms that say if a price is posted in error, they can retract the offer, even after it's been charged to the card...

They can't retroactively charge the $239, of course. But I think with this legalese, they're able to refund the money and not honour the sale.

Still, I'm hopeful for mah friends. :)
