I hope I did not make a mistake... I ordered 2 harddrives I saw on PriceGrabber for $125 a piece. The link was to Newegg. I read the reviews and asked a friend and the response was positive about Newegg. But, just in case I called to verify that my, " MAXTOR Quiet Drive 80GB 7200RPM Model # 6L080L4 - OEM, DRIVE ONLY DiamondMax PS D740X Plus Series Ultra ATA133/100, 2MB Cache Buffer, 3 Year Manufacturer Warranty QUIET DRIVE - "L" denotes Fluid Dynamic Bearing Motors Model#: MX6L080L4 " was in stock.
"OOOHHHHH YES, We have plenty of them." So I order... About an hour later I see that the Maxtor is gone from Pricegrabber.com. I check my e-mail for conformation of the order. We have had a problem verifying your billing address, please fill out this form............
Did I make a mistake with this purchase? Are they going to fk me? That's what I am thinking.
So, I fill out the form, and I get a confirnmation almost immediately that my card has been charged for "X" amount of dollars. So, fine, I think. I hope I get the right stuff... But what makes me most afraid is the disclaimer at the bottom of the charge confirmation. Here is a copy....

Or, perhaps they just need to cover their ass? any comentary?
