Best Buy...LIARS!!!

This might be old, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew:

Yesterday, Best Buy had an online add for an HDTV for $10

Some peope here were able to place the order, some people (myself included) ran into a dellivery failure notice on the site

Some people here posted a link to Best Buy's policy that they can correct any errors in sale price

WELL THEY DID...so if you bought it at that price, it WILL NOT BE HONORED

Here is what I saw on MSN this morning

Some customers were likely breathless as they pushed the "add to cart" button at Best Buy's Web site. The big draw? A Samsung 52-inch HDTV that appeared on the chain's Web site for the unbelievably low sale price of $9.99.

Best Buy corrected the error hours later andannounced thatany orders processedat that price would not be honored. But what's truly amazing about all this is that so many people areticked off.

Like I said, may be old news by now

But just wanted to make sure all those that got the order in successfully saw this

I think they should've seen that error?..I hate Best Buy anyway..never go there as it is...

To good to be true, usually means it is.

Most sites have a disclaimer for this type of thing - if Best Buy doesn't then you may have legal grounds

Bestbuy have the right to refuse any sale on any item if they chose too. Well thats what its like in the UK.

[QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"]They're not liars, it was just an error. Any kind of shop selling anything isn't an offer that you accept, it's called an "invitation to treat". It's actually you who's making the offer and Best Buy reserve the right to reject it.bangell99

Correct. People need to understand the law before they get annoyed.

I'm not shooting you, it's just that your OP said people were ticked off.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] Don't shoot the messanger. I am not annoyed. Like I said in the original post, people here already posted the best buy policy about correcting online pricing. I just wanted to make sure those THAT DID get their order through knew, that is all rawsavon

Nah, i assumed we were on friendly grounds again after that smile :|...i was kiddin anyway..or was i :lol:..

lol! What happen to common sense? Seriously, $10? Did people honestly fail to see anything wrong with that price for an HDTV?. Im reading these comments on yahoo, and I can't believe how many people feel they should honor this price for the people who took advantage of it.

I'm pretty sure everyone that made an order online will be emailed with the correction.

It is kind of funny though. :P I was in a Best Buy yesterday buying my new monitor, and they are super nice. :)

people these days are the suing type..... sooo, meh also, i would be ticked off too, but get over it REALLY fast...accidents happen

They didn't lie. Whoever typed the information made a typo, nothing more. They've already covered this with their Terms of Service:

"Errors will be corrected where discovered, and Best Buy reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged."

If it were on a price tag, then and only then would they be forced to honor the price, as to not do that would be construed as false or misleading advertisement.

The same thing happened a few weeks ago in Australia with a company called JB HiFi, maybe this is some sort of smart advertising. gets alot of peoples attention.

Stores have never had to honour the price on mistakes. I dont know why people get so worked up and angry over it. They didnt become the big company they are by selling $10 HDTVs.Big_Bad_Sad

I was just letting everyone here that tried to order it know

earlier this year one of my friends attempted to buy a 2000GBP graphics card (an nVidia Quadro workstation one) from the Dell website for a mere 20GBP, needless to say it was never dispatched. I was tempted myself but i knew it wouldnt deliver.

[QUOTE="Broken_Noobs"] if you were selling your home for $800k but you wrote $8.00000 would you honor that?Broken_Noobs

Did you read the other posts that came before yours...Obviously not

Here is what else I wrote:

Don't shoot the messanger.
I am not annoyed.

I just wanted to make sure those THAT DID get their order through knew, that is all

My bad...I thought you were saying I was ticked off
I assumed this was going to happen, especially after everyone started getting "delivery failure" when trying to order
I know I put LIARS in the topic...but that was just to get the people that ordered to read this

So know what you are talking about before you type

Like I said...best way to get people to read a topic is make the title interesting...it is called a headline

they accidental made $999.99 - $9.99 it's an honest mistake. They can't honor, the number of order, and the actual price of the tv would make it impossible for Best buy to sell the tv for that price.ferrari2001

They don't have to honor an error, and folks should know that.duxup

So you don't actually think they are liars? But you called them liars just so people can read your post?

Not only that but the mistake didn't cost the consumer anything. They still have their money....how anyone could think a 52 inch HDTV would go for $10 is astounding actually.LJS9502_basic

I wonder if you "guys" realize that this was in the T.O.S/U...

makes me wonder did those who joined this site read the T.O.U in the first place...
