Damn I guess I missed out. Probably for the best, I really do not need to add anything to my inevitable move in a May.

Can they change it once they accept your money?

Or do they just put a 'hold' on your account until it is shipped?

They can cancel it up until the shipment date.

This happened one other time with a Bose surround sound system with reciever.

I think the legit price was 1500.00 for the system.

The price went up as 15.00.

I bought 10 of those bad boys. They cancelled my order 3 days later due to an "error" out of their control.

BS, but what can I do...

yep, bcause they don't actually charge your card until it ships. At least they do it like that though. Earlier this year someone posted on cougarboard a promo code to use on ticketmaster to buy Jazz tickets for $1/each for certain games. I decided to grab a bunch of them and have the game be our YM/YW combined activity for the month. I chose the print at h ome tickets and got a pdf with all the tickets, then a week before the game, the email me to let me know that the deal I used was only valid for up to 4 tickets and that they had now charged my credit card the full price for each of the 16 other tickets. When I emailed them about it, they claimed that because of their policy on no cancelations after a purchase, that they did not have to cancel my order and there was nothing I could do about it. It took 6 emails and multiple threats of disputing the charge with VISA before they finally canceled the order.

Not sure just decided it is time to leave Portland once I finish school. I am going to be looking mainly in the SLC, Seattle, Vegas, and LA job markets. Maybe looking a little in DC as well.

I just noticed something that could be good news for those of us hoping to still get the dutch ovens at the originally posted price. When it was showing the $8.03 price, the item was listed as being sold by Amazon.com and said that the item was not available immediately and would ship when it became available. It also had the wrong picture showing on it (it showed a picture of a 10 inch dutch oven). Now, when you go to that link and it has the $60.98 price, it no longer shows it is being sold by Amazon.com, but by a company called Uncle Joe's with a 4-5 day processing delay on the order. While the price could still be a mistake, the change in price is not anything that indicates that they found a mistake in price and changed it, it means that they sold all of their stock at the previous price and removed the Amazon.com sold item and replaced it with one from one of their sellers.

nevermind, they just canceled my order
