Price error? What the hell, I'm in for one. I can always cancel/dispute it if they try to change it. Good find.

(this should be in the Marketplace btw)

He bought a 1.2GHz T-bird from a company called Yuzoo thinking it was legit a few years ago. It was a fly by night scam, and he got screwed.

Yep, and they cancelled our orders. I ordered 4 of them and they sent me an email saying that my order was cancelled. Well, you can't always win free money.

BOOOOO!!!
We received your order for the AMD Athlon 64FX-57 BN Retail Box CPU(s). Due to an error on our pricing matrix we inadvertently advertised the CPU for $119 as opposed to the actual price of $1119. At this time we have cancelled your order due to the error. If you wish to reorder the CPU at the corrected price of $1119 please respond to this e-mail or call us toll free 1-888-393-0340 during normal business hours 8AM-6PM CST. If you listed a credit card as payment, the card has not been charged. If you paid via Paypal a refund will be made on Tuesday October 25. We regret this inconvenience.

Thanks

Jim
