"Early Wednesday morning, BestBuy.com listed a 52-inch Samsung HDTV for $9.99 -- a savings of more than $1600. As customers jumped on the Web site trying to take advantage of the offer, Best Buy announced it was a "pricing error" and was no longer available. A recorded message on Best Buy's customer service line told customers "we will not be placing any more orders for this unit," and messages were sent on Twitter apologizing "for any disappointment." Customers who placed orders early Wednesday were left wondering if they got away with the bargain. Eric VanBergen of Grand Rapids, Michigan, told CNN he snapped one up for $84.79 -- including $70 shipping and taxes -- at 5:30 a.m. Then, he ordered a second (CNN)."
Whoever made that error is now sitting in the unemployment line that is for sure. Good moves by this guy to gran a couple of these TVs and there is nothing that Best Buy can do about it. To be honest, Best Buy deserves this, they overprice TVs, so bad. My advice...if you are going to buy a TV get it through Amazon.com.
