[SFGuy]

Looks like you guys missed the deal on this one:

If only it had been posted, I was looking forward to a trip from SF to Paris...

It looks like you, SFGuy, missed the deal on reading the forum rules. This isn't a Hot Deal. It belongs in the Brag & Moan thread, if anywhere.

 

[Spuffin]

It is a HOT deal for those people that DID get this deal and now find out that it is actually going to be honored. and it's a bit more than HOT

 

[mccall]

It was never posted here, and now the mistake has been fixed, so it's not a Hot Deal.

 

[Gizmology]

Hey mccall. Why don't you let the mod's do there job. You bitchin' about it isn't going to do anything.

[mccall]

Gee, and I guess your bitchin' about my bitchin' is going to do something?

 

[FiDo14DiDo]

Lotsa a bitchin' in these forums lately

 

[Gizmology]

I love it -- "computer error", not as if the computer wasn't following a human's instructions

 

[BobaBoy]

wow crazy deal...

 

[Jovack2]

Hoy posting these kind of deals just makes me jealous and unhappy!!!!! RRRRRRRRrrrrr

 

[MarkI]

not a hot deal

 

[odog]

both of you are bitches....

if anything this is a worthy read.. on par with the "pudding miles" story.

 

[Gizmology]

You have enlightened all of us e-phex.

this doesnt help, but replying to threads like these and acting like your mod regulating doesnt help, if people didnt reply then it wouldnt be bumped up... if it doesnt fit, the mods will lock it and explain why so others can read. if you wanna regulate, be a little nicer about it especially to the junior members who are obviously if u havent noticed... NEW... k i'll stop ranting and bumping this up..

 

[StealthX32]

hehe, someone change the topic to....*DEAD DEAL!* Save us all a skip-of-a-heartbeat.

 

[PattySmear]

it was posted on underground dealz

 

[RobK]

Pat - please email me at robk@hotbot.com !

 

[yodayoda]

underground deals?! where the hell is that? sign me up for that board =)

 

[Phunktion]

This is not a hot deal because it doesn't exist anymore.. and for that matter I wish that the mod could do more than lock threads like this.. they should be able to whack these jerks upside their heads for posting brags in the hot deal forum.. :|

 

[Owned]

hey, at least this is more relevant than that "Let's find Online retailers that accept paypal" thread.

What is "underground dealz", btw?

I think you guys are wrong about this being lockable or off-topic. It is a good example of what can happen when a big company makes a pricing mistake. Often on this board there is an attitude of "it's too good to come true." Most of the time this is correct, but as this Yahoo story proves, not always. Sometimes companies do honor their mistakes, and that is very relevant to the Hot Deals Forum because so many of the deals are based on pricing errors. For instance, the Staples .01 bag deal that is currently posted.

Bon Voyage, your milage may vary...
