Actually looks like there are a few LCDs in the 17" cat, 1 in 18" and 1 in 19"... plus the crts....

Maybe not by Dell, but Radio Shack does. Last year they had something on their website for $0. So I ordered 200 of them. They shipped them and didn't even charge me shipping since the total was $0.

And yeah WTF did you get 200 of from there....

Prices appear to have been corrected already, let's see if our orders go through (of course they won't).

I wonder what kind of coupon we'll get as compensation?

They seem to have pulled it as I ordered: it wouldn't go to the checkout page; then I couldn't refresh the product page. Another dead fantasy....

DEAL DEAD! They just changed the prices! Not that this was going to go through anyway.

By the way, I like the new look RossMAN! Nice. And Grand Nagus... Movin' up I see.

DEAD. Products all yanked.
Not that they are going to be shipping out $0.08 LCDs anytime soon, but some of these online vendors are getting really sloppy in controlling their pricing database. I imagine it would be different if there was any legal requirement for them to actually ship orders.

Don't order more than 1. Ordering 100 or 1000 will immediately red flag it. Maybe they might accidentally ship out a few of these at this price.

I guess now we know what Steve's new job is / was.... "Dude, I'll update the website right after this hit... I promise!"

not to mention calls attention to the problem, which makes other orders less likely to ship. ordering 1 or 2 won't do that.

"Dude, you're gettin' a DELL!"

But, seriously, it's only fair to try ordering one of these. I successfully ordered one of each of the cheapies, including those that were 17", 18", and 19". I got a notice each time, "Hey! You just ordered something else! Are you sure you want to order something this soon???" And I had to say, "Yes!" This kind of deal is rare, that it would go through and ship is more rare, and to be able to make a killing with 100 of such a deal is nigh impossible. So, as long as we agree not to kill the deal for our Bros....

Is this a deals forum or "how to rip off stores" forum.

I encountered the same problem. I also signed up for "Verified by VISA" and forgot my password so I had to call BOFA to get it reset. It kept saying "you recently ordered within the past 30 minutes" so I had to close that and continue with my orders.

The latter, if you were looking for the former may I point you to the For Sale/Trade forum.
