It was an error on their site. Now if you add it to the cart, It's $366.49. Looks like I ordered right in the nick of time. ;)

It does say on order, which means out of stock with no ETA on when they get more, though. I'm still tempted anyway. Mostly worried that by the time they ship it, prices will have dropped below $220 for whatever reason. :\

On Order = Add 1 or 2 days to processing. And the price has to be a mistake. There's no way they can sell them for that cheap!

Repeated personal experience with Buy.com: when they run out of stock you're talking anywhere from two weeks to two months to get the item. Go look at the deals forum threads from every other time Buy.com's thrown a video card on some kind of insane sale - they tended to honor the prices, but it took weeks or months to actually receive the card. Or better yet, try to call the customer service. You will get a call center in India where they will tell you they have no way of checking the stock in the warehouse when you're staring at your order status and it says it's out of stock while you're looking at the item page and it say it is in stock, except this is happening 3 weeks after you ordered your item. :D Still an insane deal though, and worth trying in case they do come through quickly.

It wasn't a pricing mistake. Buy.com even had a "n%" off sticker on the products.

I think they were just clearing way for the new GTX 285s.

They switched them back to normal pricing less than 20 minutes after I nabbed my BFG GTX 280 for $240 including tax and shipping. They were mistakes, and now they're back to normal pricing.

The prices were switched back to normal after less than 6 hours. The same products that were selling for 200-230 at 2-5:00pm were back to the 300-420 range by 6:00pm.

Ghey. I had to shell out $375 for mine a few weeks ago.

I doubt it will go through, you will probably get an email saying it was a mistake and your order cannot be completed.

They already sold me the card at the price they advertised. I saw it, I clicked buy, I submitted my payment and shipping info. Any attempt to not sell products at the prices they were clearly advertised at will become a legal issue.

hate to break it to you, but that isn't going to work ..they might honor it, but if they dont, theres nothing you can do.
