Sears Pricing Mistake

[sbouslog]

Sears screwed up on their website today and had 32 GB iPad 2's on sale for $179. These are typically $599. I took a shot at it and ordered 2. I bet they will notice the error and cancel the shipment, but it would be great if these showed up at my doorstep. Below is a screenshot I took when checking out.

Just tried their site and it still shows that price but won't let you add it to your cart.

About a month ago they had 64gb iPad 1 wifi for $300 so I ordered one, but they cancelled my order a few days later.

Damn right!!
Tell them youll cut up your Sears card if they dont!!
When I worked for Sears automotive back in the day a customer would say that and get like half off the price!!
The one that i'll never forget is there was one old guy who said ever since we put tires on his car his fridge stopped working!!! either he gets a free fridge or he's shredding his card!! Ya know he got the tires at cost and they went out and fixed his fridge!!!!

I had kinda the same thing happen to me a couple months ago. Big 5 Sporting Goods in Colorado Springs had a Mossberg 500 tactical shotgun marked for $289. I walked in and said I’ll take it. I started to fill out the FFL papers and the manager came out and said that the price was wrong and they cannot sell it to me at this price. They would not sell it to me and said there is no law holding them to the price.

I called their corporate HQ and they would not budge. They too said there was no law that says they have to sell to me. I called the BBB and they too said that I was SOL. They said it would be a good gesture if they did sell me the shotgun, but they are not required to.

Ya. I looked into it a bit and it seems that the seller can break the contract and return funds at any time before delivery in situations like this. I was hoping that the shipping arm of the company would get it in the mail before the website people figured out what was going on. Either way it was worth a shot.
