$3 Hard Drive

Bet someone gets fired on Monday! and I doubt they follow through with the posted price.

ordered 50, put up ebay auctions, called to verify the price, and set up class action lawsuit in case it doesn't go through.

Heh - Reminds me of the initial Buy.com 19" Hitachi Monitor price mistake back during the early roots of AT. I think I either ordered 2 or 3 of those monitors during that weekend.

Dead before posted. Cancellations already arriving even though it's still on site. Strange though, that the cancellations mention refunding your credit card...so it would indicate that they charge your card....cancel the order...then refund your money on their time chart...hmmmmmm!

Ah crap, we just ordered four of them. If we get that response first thing I do is tell them I don't care, I want either that product I ordered or any other hard drive for the same price. I mean, whats the worst they can offer? a 5400rpm 10GB drive? just slap a Raid 1+0 card and you're set with four of them....

Dear
( Customer No: )

AxionTech.com - Order Cancelled due to pricing error

At approximately 1:30am Central Time our SQL server has
suffered a hard drive failure. Eventhough there was a hot spare,
the failover was not 100% successful. This incident has caused
several data inconsistencies throughout our database.

At approximately 5:30am our servers stopped working because of
too many requests and immediately notified our system administrators.
We were able to restore data inconsistencies and our servers was
back online 30 minutes later with the correct data.

Because of this unfortunate incident, all orders placed between
1:30am - 6:00am CST have been received with numerous errors and
inaccuracies.
We have cancelled and refunded all orders between 1:30 - 6:00am. If
you have received this email, your order has been cancelled.
Sorry, All pricing errors will not be honored.
