Cancellation text message received.

Obligatory it's against the law and they have to honour the price post... :pac:

Nada here (yet).
Money has been taken off the credit card (as opposed to reserved).
I sincerely doubt I'll get it- but nothing ventured, nothing gained........
Perhaps they're starting with the most recent orders and working their way backwards.

Wonder how many of these were ordered before they copped?

Money was taken from my bank account and I got cancellation message....

Can we sue? Take a class action suit?. Do they not have to honour that price? They took the money and sent an email. Me, as the consumer, should not be out of pocket because of their mistake blah...blah...blah... :rolleyes:

lol. No. No you can't. And so continues the classic Bargain Alerts play by play of a mispriced item. Hope, sadness, anger, despair, and the legal route.

No, you have no right to sue. The money will be refunded to your account in the next day or so. That's just how online transactions work. We all took a chance on an item selling for 10% of retail. The chances of success were always slim.

Just got my call now.

I got the cancellation text earlier and now I just got an automated phone call as well from some american dude to confirm the cancellation!
