The 2405 costs $1199 MSRP and you REALLY thought it was 428 for a refurb? This after the fact that you KNOW the cheapest this monitor has ever been was ~850 after some discounts?

el oh el you are quite ignorant.

How bout you shut the fvck up and go somewhere else with your righteous bullshit. This is the hot deals forum, not the 'get a good deal as long as its ethical' forum. People come here because they hope for a screw up like this to take advantage of.

Take it as far as you can without it being illegal, and to hell with morality. you think dell is moral?

What about ETHICS?

If you question whether a deal is real or a mistake, call or write the company, and ask. If it is a valid deal, post it. If it isn't, DO NOT post it, and DO NOT complain about it.

If there are limitations on a deal, DO NOT discuss ways to get around them.

If you think your post may be unethical, it probably is. DON'T POST IT. If you don't care about ethics, FIND ANOTHER FORUM. There are plenty of sites devoted to these kinds of activities. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM! If that is what you want to do, PLEASE GO THERE. If you insist on doing it, here, you may become an involuntary lurker.

Feel free to take your punk drivel somewhere else.

Why do I find myself knee deep in a pile of snobby republicans who purchase their music instead of dling it from p2p because its 'wrong'?

Write the company.....that's funny. Reminds me of how it's illegal to have oral sex in georgia.

Trust me, if you download music over p2p or have oral sex in georgia, you won't find many enemies around here.

Dell overall has been a quality vendor for people around here and most of us have taken advantage of some fantastic deals they've had, and its these good companies that we've generally profited from that for me personally I find more offensive when people try and screw them.

That's my main motivation against people's effort to hold them to this obvious pricing error. And afterwards some people would then predictably and dishonestly rip them in resellerratings if it didn't come thru, claiming "deceptive business practices" :roll:. However if this were tigerdirect we were talking about, I'm certain this thread wouldn't have gotten this long or this hostile.

Wow I might just have to get one of these (whatever the normal price is even)

I've been put off by widescreen LCD's in the past because:

1) usually some fvcked up useless res like 1650 x 1050 that nothing supports which means everything gets scaled and looks like sht

2) widescreen of a particular size is usually not as tall as a 4:3 of the same size. This has the same pixel pitch and size as the 213T which means the screens are identical in height, so I can get width without sacrificing height

3) 1600x1200 native on the 2405FPW !!!! (run 1920x1200 native in windows and 1600x1200 native with black vertical bars for gaming)

4) 12-16 ms vs 213T 25 ms

5) component video and PBP, I can hook up the PS2 right next to my PC and run split screen when doing PS2 dev and running Pukklink!

6) the nvidia display drivers have all the scaling and proportion options I could ever want (run native pixel count no scaling at all, run with scaling but stay proportional, etc) This means that 640x480 scaled would occupy the same screen area as 1600x1200 native on this 1920x1200 screen!

Guess it's finally time to switch...

And if gaming is as vibrant and clear (or acceptably close) to my F500-R CRT, it may be time to replace both my F500-R CRT and 213T LCD with a single display...

What's with all of the self-rightous, flaming trolls around here? Actually, YES I did think it was possible. I once got a pretty heavily loaded p4 system through the dell outlet for $300 shipped - no coupons, just good timing on a limited stock. The MSRP on it was closer to $1000. I, like some others on here, knew it was a long shot but it had some possibility of being legitimate based on past experience. It wasn't, and Dell didn't handle the situation well, in my opinion. That's it and move on already.

Why you and a handful of others feel so invested in all of this that they personally attack people for trying to get in on this is truly sad.

[sarcasm]Oh really? My gosh i didnt know...[/sarcasm].

I'll explain it nice and slow since you didn't understand the first time. The georgia anti-sodomy statute makes it illegal to have anal or oral sex. I don't know if it is still in effect, but as of 2003, in 13 US states it is illegal for adults to engage in sexual activity of oral and anal sex (This applies to both to the unmarried and married couples-whether they are heterosexual, bisexual, or gay).

Think about how many people break this law on a daily basis (weekly or monthly if you are married ). My analogy was that some rules/laws are made so that the enforcing agent has the ability to exercise extreme control at will.

The fact of the matter is the rule that was posted in this thread is rarely followed or upheld. If that was the case, this thread should have been locked a long time ago.

The fact that dell didnt cancel the orders is a HUGE reason to complain. I fvcking hate all these losers, each on their high-horse, 'do you expect something for half the price?', 'quit bitching and moaning cause you couldnt take advantage'......

YES, i do expect something for half the price, and i do want to take advantage. Who are you to judge? If you are reading this, you are just like me. Maybe not as extreme, but the goals are the same.

You're not very bright are you?

IMO there is nothing worse than stupid people who think they're smart, and have the arrogance to try and act on their 'artificial intelligence'.

Jeebus, you should really calm down.

im trying to get as much as help as possible. i posted on ST as well.

check this out guys, so basically after calling so many times i decided to email them to see if i can get better results. first email i just told them that i ordered a 2405 and got a 2005.

Their response was "I have thoroughly checked the database and show that 2005 FPW Monitor is listed on your order number xxxxxxxxx. That is why; it has been shipped to you. If you wish, you can return your Monitor that you received and I will initiate a return request in order to refund you for that Monitor and you can purchase a new 2405 FPW Monitor."

i responded back to their email with the help of dahviao's post about terms and services and sale policies and got this response from them - "I can very well understand your concern, as you placed the order with the promotions ?Get a refurbished Dell 2405FPW Wide Angle Flat Panel for only $428.00 while supplies last?.Hence, you received the order acknowledgement for the same 2405FPW monitor. However, as you would notice that this offer was only valid while supplies last. Meanwhile, when your order reached at processing stage we were short of 2405FPW monitors to process the remaining orders and this is the reason your order was processed for next available 2005FPW monitor. Please be assured that we do not have any 2405FPW monitor left in our inventory.

so the first email says i ordered a 2005 and he THOROUGHLY checked, second email says i ordered a 2405 while there werent any supplies left...........

sounds fishy eh... any ideas on wat i should do? thanks

 

[mchammer187]

if you got in and dell caved great

but if you read this thread at all you had to know there was some chance you wouldn't get it and likely a pretty good chance

if you happened to stumble across it yourself than you might have a case (no one here though)

but if you ordered knowing that there is a good chance it was a mistake with the intention of fighting them so you get your monitor than imo that is just ridiculous

there is no bait and switch here since the wrong specs should be fishy at least as it was pointed out several times

if they listed a 2405fp with the correct specs with it than I would be all for you fighting till every single one of you got one

i understand what your saying; if no one had success i would have given up on pursuing. but if u go to ST forums, there are actually some people who are getting their 2405's after telling dell their situation! so why is dell giving to some and not others?

Meanwhile, when your order reached at processing stage we were short of 2405FPW monitors to process the remaining orders and this is the reason your order was processed for next available 2005FPW monitor. Please be assured that we do not have any 2405FPW monitor left in our inventory.

Wow this makes No sense to me.. whatsoever! They basically are stating that hey.. the first time i looked into this.. we see that "2005 FPW Monitor is listed on your order number xxxxxxxxx. That is why; it has been shipped to you" This was a LIE! because then they go and say well.... we see that you did infact order a 2405 monitor but.... well we ran out of those and sent you another monitor instead... ......

Meanwhile, when your order reached at processing stage we were short of 2405FPW monitors to process the remaining orders and this is the reason your order was processed for next available 2005FPW monitor


how CAN DELL DO THAT!!! MAKES NO SENSE!!!! THEY SHIP YOU THE WRONG STUFF for the simple fact that they ran out of the model they were supposed to send you..

i dont know maybe these people have spent alot of money at dell before maybe they are negotiators than you

who knows but all I know is if you ordered it knowing there was a reasonable chance you wouldn't end up with one you are not ENTITLED to one

ok ok let me break it down for you. fine, ur right i ordered it knowing there was a slim chance. i agree with you there. if dell would have canceled before shipping out, i would have let that go. its the fact that they knew their error, sent out confirmations with that error, took the money and shipped out a different monitor in our confirmation. if u look at the acceptannce email, it states "Lastly, the Order Confirmation e-mail will cofirm your final purchase amount, pending any changes stemming from the verification of the online pricing of your order." Therefore any changes to the order should have been sent out with the confirmation but it wasn't. dell responded to me by saying their 2405fpw were out of stock and therefore a 2005fpw was sent instead.

this next part goes to credit dahvaio from ST
"Now onto the kicker, if Dell had not shipped anything, then it would be hard to make Dell abide by their emails. Amazon uses the policy that the order (contract) is null and void until the item has shipped. Once the item has shipped, Amazon has agreed that the item is correct, the price is accurate and the the buyer will receive what they order. Dell has a pretty much similar policy. If you peruse their Terms and Conditions, it states that buyers are afforded the right to recieve the correct product order. Dell can make any changes to item and price but must let the buyer know about the changes. This way the buyer has the option to cancel or buy at the new price."

dell knew about their error and didnt contact, email, call, fax etc anybody about their mistake.

This is funny.. Dell CSRs either have a good sense of humor or are badly coordinated to deal with their own mistakes. I first used Dell's "wrong merchandise" online form and was quickly told that they would send out the correct monitor and for me to send them the serials of the wrong ones. Whoohoo! I sent them the serials of the 2005s and the next email I got said "It seems that you bought a USB blue tooth adapter an now you want a PCMCIA adapter." HA! I replied telling them the real problem AGAIN and then they sent out another email telling me to send back those and order the 2405fpws. Then I went on Dell chat and the first guy had no idea what I was trying to say so he said "go to Product Support chat, they can help you." I went there and you need a Dell service tag to get on, so a dead end - fvcker. I spoke to more numerous Indian chatters who told me over and over I bought the 2005. After about 2 hours of this (takes them 5 mins to form a reply after thoroughly checking the Indian-English dictionary) the supervisor looked up my confirmation email and lo-and-behold he says "seems* to be an error" but he wouldn't do anything about it. I asked him to type - for the record- that he refused to send me the correct monitors and he refused to do so and he also refused to directly ackowledge that Dell made an error. By the way, the chat screen would go blank when I knew I had them cornered, if this happens to you, hit your BACk button and you are back on the chat... they can do that from their end - fvckers. Saturday morning I faxed a complaint form with my order #,customer # and case #, Dell's own policy concerning shipments, and my emails. I have not heard from Dell yet and it's Sunday afternoon. Not sure if this is because of the Holiday weekend or if they have conveniently not replied. I will fax again either tonight or Tuesday. These CSRs are fiesty when cornered.
