Wow

Price is still there at 2:30 CST. I just "bought" 2 pr.

These types of things come up from time to time on the SlickDeals forum, and the vendor usually sends a "we goofed" e-mail a day or two later, so I'm not holding my breath. Occasionally, a few shipments slip through the cracks, though.
 
D'oh! You aren't supposed to tell them about it!

nope! i didnt tell them about it..im not that dumb...i called to place an order and gave the rep the order number and then he put me on hold for a while and told me theres seems to be an eror in there part and is being corrected .. if i proceed with my order i can be charge for the regular price and they will not honor a typographical error..so i told him to cancel my order then
 
I don't know if they have to honor the price they charged me, but I don't think they can hit my credit card with whatever price they decide to charge without my consent. Can they?
Nope, but -- speaking from experience here -- that won't always stop a confused seasonal employee from doing it.

I had an absolute imbecile at MF phone bank named "Bob" -- who was so clueless he pronounced "bass" like the fish -- charge my account $1300 for a Jazz bass I didn't order and they didn't send when they didn't have the sale one I unsuccessfully tried to order. It took a week to get the charge off my card after I started having my card mysteriously declined for stuff. MF's customer service management was understandably mortified at this gaffe and gave me a pile of credits and discounts for my trouble, though.

Ordered three anyway just for a laugh, but I'm not expecting anything more than some apologetic future discount for their screwups, though AMS being pretty dirtbaggy about that sort of thing, I'm not holding my breath.
