i went to CC to price match and they told me that BB removed the price so they cant PM it. i called up the BB that i bought the ram from and they said the price was 54.99. talked to another manager at CC who called my local BB and he said that BB had a price mistake and the stores are honoring the price but its off of the website, and since its a price mistake CC cant PM it.
is it really a price mistake? or is it that CC just didnt want to do the PM?

The price was too good so I'm willing to believe it was a price mistake.

i think they wanted to move their 2700 sticks
do not want to shoot myself in the foot (yet), but other retail chains are doing it as well (just not as hot a price)

[masterxfob]

i was just billed for 2 sticks, $99. i have not recieved a cancelation e-mail. i called BB two days ago for status and was told that my store was out of stock BUT my order would be open for 8 days and if more are recieved, my order will be placed. she also said i would not be billed unless stock came in.

I was canceled as well. No biggie, at least they didn't charge my card, ship it out to me, and recall my package the day it was in town to be delivered.

Yah, I guess those of us who bought it in store on sunday and early monday are the only ones that lucked out!

There was also a price mistake on the 256 Mb kingston PC2700. It was priced at $14.99, then a $5 rebate off of that!.. $10!, but yah, I work for geek squad. Bout 4 of us GS guys bought the gig sticks on sunday, but we honored some of the prices up till yesterday, now we took all the tags down.

Go figure

Then this I got this:
