[citation][nom]dannyaa[/nom]Hey genius, notice what happen with Dell? This is because it is ILLEGAL not to follow through on an advertised price - EVEN if it was a typo. I, and others, have gotten many things on these errors for cheap. I've gotten a $120 item for $12 at Best Buy. They tell you it is an error, and you tell them too bad, it is law. And they have to honor it.Where it is tricky here is since it was online and the discount was HUGE. But legally they have to honor the price. I am sure there will be legal intervention with this and perhaps even a court case.I'm sure none of these people thought "wow what a great deal" but rather "wow let's take advantage of this error because they have to honor it by law!"[/citation]
The Dell thing was not here in the US so I can't say for them. Best Buy however does seem to cover this in their fine print and this being online makes things fuzzy. Laws don't cover the internet very well yet and Best By can afford good lawyers, I doubt they will have to honor the price.

it wasn't a bait and switch, it wasn't an add to get you into the store for one thing. And as far as offering you the 1400 price tag, you can walk into any electronics store and talk them down at least 10% on most items. In my experience tvs more than 10%. Last year I went to best buy for my tv, list was $2400. Amazon had it for 1700 with free shipping. Best Buy was going to give it to me for $1850 which was good for me, didn't expect a price match, then they didn't have it in stock. Circuit City, American, and Ultimate wouldn't come close to that price so I wound up using Amazon. My point is, I like BB, they have always been good to me. Geek Squad is a joke, but if you are on this site do yo really need them?
