Thanks guys, for putting a big grey cloud on my day today!
Sounds like your day would have been pretty grey with all the venom you're spitting. BTW, I hope your genitals fall off, a bird poops in your eye, and all manner of awful things happen to you! And then I randomly get something I want because of it! Woo! Grow up. Buy your damned mouse on eBay from a "hoarder" for $3 after shipping. The nature of deals is that they never last forever, otherwise people wouldn't be checking this page all the time. I really feel for you that your order didn't go through, but you're being ridiculous.
I'm not being at all ridiculous. If you have the right to hoard them, then I have the right to be angry and the right to hope that I get the last laugh. Hell, I have those rights anyway. I am acting grown up. If I wasn't, I'd be arguing over something stupid like whether it was morally acceptable to order more than one. I really don't give a crap. I really, really don't. But the hot deal for me is that I get to laugh my ass off at the fact that because you ordered a bunch, I didn't get any and you got charged for them!
The funny thing here is that there was probably some stipulation on the rebate that it's one per customer. Somehow, they managed not only to charge you for the mouses, but charge you for something more. The list price of them are 22.18, 10 of them would obviously amount to 221.80, even if they charged you 6% tax, the total is 235.11, and the $253 you mention doesn't include shipping costs. Perhaps no one noticed that the instant rebate comes when you purchased another item and they automatically added that item to your cost 10 times and either they failed to mention this, or you failed to notice it. Either way, I'm sure their disclaimer says something along the lines of "Rules and Conditions of Rebates apply". Maybe, rather than cancelling your order for not getting the other item, they added those on as their way of showing you not to hoard items! I would LOVE for that to happen. Sorry about your luck if it did, but it does serve you right for not letting other people get in on this deal.
Even if you were going to give them to friends, let them do the footwork on their own. I was willing to do the work, and I got shut out. They probably didn't even KNOW about the freaking mouse, and they get one? Yes, I am bitching because I didn't get one. Again, I have that right, and if you have the right to tell me "tough sh!t" then I have the privlege of hoping it bites you in the ass.
Thanks!
