I may not agree with it, but I respect everyone's opinion on this thread, I really do. And unless someone actually steps forward and presents lawyer credentials, there are no lawyers here. So everything that people are posting are just opinions. Whether we've done research or not, our law interpretations are just opinion. BB is not guilty or innocent until judged. Is BB guilty of something? I think most retailers are guilty of shenanigans at one point or another. Is BB guilty in this one case? I don't think so, and yes, that is my opionion. I am not a lawyer.
There are some things in this thread that I don't respect however.
1. Anyone trying to convince me that there are actually people out there that thought this was a legitimate price for this card, and got snowed. Everyone, not most people, but EVERYONE who bought this card knew it was a mistake. I'm sorry, anyone in a position to have enough knowledge to buy this card to begin with, knew there was no way this was a legitimate price. Everyone was "hoping" that these would just slip through, and trying to put one over on BB.
2. Those that are critical of others because they are not lawyers, and declare that BB is innocent, while they themselves are decalring BB guilty.
3. Those that are declaring that this is a crusade to make cyber space safe for me. I would like to know what your crusading resume looks like, and I would like to know what your next target is.
4. Those that went out the next day and spent the $30 GC (or those that would have if there was something they really wanted at the time) and are now looking to get the vid card, too. While not a legal contract, it is a moral contract that you entered into when you cashed that GC. That contract states that you are accepting the GC for the price mistake.
As always, just my opinion.
