Canceled. Was hoping it was a blowout... I've snagged a few great deals from GC/MF, but this one seemed a little too good to be true. Alas, it was.

I ordered one pretty soon after it was posted, finally got an e mail saying it has shipped!
I'm hoping this works.

Yeah no right to be mad if you don't get the deal...if one slips through the cracks, touche but if it doesn't you can't be mad about it. Wonder if we had sent that advertised price to GC if they'd match it?
I thought about doing this when it was already too late. Next time.
Did anyone else get this cancellation notice....

No reason why. No special offer. Nada.
Honestly, on their front page they had a sale and it said items were up to 88% off...so it's not unreasonable to think this could have been possible.
@jcoutu1
I received the same e-mail but that was after I got the letter explaining how the wrong price was listed.

I'm betting pretty much nobody will be taking them up on their "special offer". Sure, this thing is probably worth $50...$375???? No way!
Once again - I didn't even have that little bit of cash to put out for something .....
I would have snagged one if it went through, and not been more than a little disappointed if it didn't.
it would have been cool to have - but not worth someones job - for sure.

They canceled mine and didn't even offer me a special offer. If the ones with tracking numbers actually show up at your doors I think the rest of us will have a valid argument for getting our canceled back-ordered ones, or maybe you guys wont beat us up too bad on selling your extras.
You would think that they would have a system in place to prevent this in the first place. Flag price changes greater than XX% or below actual cost and that requires signoff by someone in the chain?
Doubtful as the fine print surely gives them the upper hand in a case like this, but one can hope!
