: Best Buy Screw Up... Sony Viao For $300
WoodyCam 09-03-2003, 01:56 PM Ok, I have ordered a total of 6 and our office has ordered perhaps 20 already. Best buy had an error on their page, selling a $2,400 laptop for $300. We've already received order confirmations and tracking #'s.
Take a look:

WoodyCam 09-03-2003, 02:13 PM Maybe do a search for the model #. The page still comes up for me....
go to http://www.bestbuy.com then click on the computers tab, scroll down to laptops, then click on notebook pc's.

SD_Sledhead 09-03-2003, 04:04 PM You gotta let us know how this turns out! If it works you are very lucky!!! :D
dpaige 09-03-2003, 04:10 PM Woody!!
I'll buy 3 of the ones you have for $1000 Each!!!
jacqui583 09-03-2003, 04:36 PM The page comes up for me, but I think the disclaimer says it all... :(
I wonder if they've already shipped it and charged you the $300 before they find the error, if they can retroactively charged your credit card for the balance? Hmmm... :sarcasm:
Snow-Drift 09-03-2003, 07:01 PM $300 would be a good deal, but I must say, you may not find out that they might of actually made a mistake on their website until you get your credit card statement or your reciept with your box of computers :0: That is when you will find out if you actually got them for the "advertised" $300. When they catch their mistake, you'll know it.
XCR583 09-04-2003, 01:01 AM Man, i wish that I could have gotten a hold of one of those!!
If they change the price back, I would return them and get your money back. They screwed up!! You should be able to get your money back.
PowderBoy 09-04-2003, 05:31 AM watch you'll end up with 5 $2400 charges on your card. I heard they have done that before
SD_Sledhead 09-04-2003, 01:03 PM My roommate ended up getting a few 100 gig hard drives from Dell on a situation just like this and it worked out fine. It wasn't quite the price difference that this is, but he got lucky and got it.
WoodyCam 09-05-2003, 11:24 AM Here's what I got from Best Buy...
