Oh well it was fun while it lasted. HAD to give it a try.
 
I gotta say, if MF is honoring the orders--even though they seriously goofed on the pricing--it scores a lot of points with me. (It just doesn't seem too likely it was intentionally blowing out inventory; the discount was too much. At a minimum, if it was blowing out some inventory, it worked way better than planned...)

Somebody pointed out early in the thread that their TOS allows them to refuse, in case of a typo in a price. By my lights, if they eat it and fill the orders anyway, that's manning up, big time.

+3... $249.95 would have cleared their stock, probabloy at "cost" in a few days.
They may have some sort of automated process though, that will allow some to slip through the cracks. If you have a tracking number, then keep your fingers croxxed because yoiu jsut might be in luck, even after reading Jimmy's email from MF...
 
Lies!! All Lies!!

Got my cancellation email as well. :scowl:

I think I'll cheer myself up by using my refunded $46.95 on drugs and hookers.

Wait... How much drugs and hookers can $46.95 get you these days?
I think a couple of baby aspirin taped to the cover of a Vickie's Secret catalogue. . ;)
This was fun while it lasted, eh? My backorder was canceled as well. Good luck to those with tracking info!
