HOT! VisiontTek Xtasy 9800 PRO 256 MB = $218, shipped. AWESOME PRICE!

[Hav0k99]

isn't there anything we can do like call Amazon and have someone investigate what is going on with this? If it's bogus I want to know now so I can look at maybe just a 9800 Pro 128.

just to think, if theres no cancellation....were impatient, if we get a notice were relieved to hear something....what a sucky position :/

 

[webley]

Looks like Amazon is as puzzled as we are about what to do with this situation.

 

[BKR]

No cancellation here yet.

 

[warriorfan23]

no cancellation here but i dont really care what happens. if i get the card, yay...and if i dont, o well..

 

[BKR]

I hear that...got in on the gateway deal as well so I'm good to go either way.

 

[smaurer32]

Uh oh. Just checked the Amazon page today. "This item is not stocked or has been discontinued." Not a good sign.

No notification here yet. Order still sits at "Shipping estimate: Apr 7, 2004 - Apr 22, 2004". Dun-dun-dun.

And for all those grunting about "you won't get anything!", I don't really care. Placing this order took me all of 30 seconds, and I lose nothing if it doesn't go through. For any questionable hot deals, I always look at risk of investment vs. return. This was a no-brainer.

Read on, hope this is true, came from a friend on another forum.

This from the Slickdeal thread for this deal:

OK.

I just talked to a CSR at Amazon.com and here is what he told me: He told me that there had been a pricing error, however they were going to uphold the bulk majority of the order that were ordered - the cutoff being the number of stock requested to the manufacturer Visiontek. As long as the originally ordered stock from Visiontek arrives to the Amazon warehouse, then first number of orders placed within the Amazon stock WILL BE SHIPPED. The only possibility of cancellation, at least on MY order (i placed my order early enough and made it within the Amazon stock limit) would be if Visiontek is unable to fullfill the original stock request from Amazon.

Soooo.... for the most part, it looks like there is fair chance that I might get my card. Looks like Amazon is going to honor the pricing - though that whole tidbit about not getting requested stock from Visiontek sounded like a loophole in case they change their mind.

I was told that my order was being processed normally with no flags on the account and that I should expect my card in early to mid April (if not sooner).

So...maybe?

 

[SpideyCU]

I'm still not convinced it's true or that my order will go through, but if it does happen to, I'll laugh at the people who told me not to bother and that no one will get anything.

We'll see how it goes.

 

[sphincter]

cool, hope that it does go through. my shipping date est is 8 april, so for sure i'm not the earliest, but then again, i'm not the latest either...

 

[smaurer32]

Interitus, can you check you Amazon page to see if the VisionTek is still in your order?

 

[CaliLuv]

Checked online status of my order today by clicking the email order confirmation link and the status was "order has been cancelled" ...I didn't get a cancellation email or any other notification. My order was originally placed 3/5 around noon...

 

[Link]

Well... mine still says "delivery estimate: Apr 9, 2004 - Apr 26, 2004"
I placed my order around 11am on 3/5.
Just crossing my fingers. :beer:

 

[sphincter]

mine says delivery estimate: Apr 10, 2004 - Apr 24, 2004
also made the order on march 5, about 1pm

 

[Revantou]

mine's still marked to be shipped Apr 7, 2004 - Apr 21, 2004. bought on the 5th also. Hopefully it arrives.

 

[HocusFocus]

mine:

Delivery estimate: Apr 10, 2004 - Apr 27, 2004

 

[Justus]

Ordered before 10:00 a.m. on 3/5. Amazon now lists my order as cancelled. No email sent.

For this I passed up the Gateway 9800Pro?? Bwaaaah!

 

[Trikat]

This was not supposed to be a price mistake, since the CSRs said it wasn't. I guess they changed their minds... I mean the price was up like that for days!
THOSE BASTARDS. I ordered 1. That order is still there. Then on a separate order (I wanted 2 more) that order is cancelled. No email or anything. I did not see a limit one per customer fine print at ALL. Ridiculous... Wasn't a pricemistake in the first place and now it is. Like that stupid Circuit city fiasco where they said the $40 rebate dates has changed.
I saved the pages to my computer and reread it. It says first come first serve and yea I was there probably near the start of the line. Nothing about limits per customer.

 

[BKR]

Hmmm I ordered on March 6th and my account still shows the item as shipping.
