Scalper, huh? Thanks for being a pain in everyone's side.
What a weird comment to make! It's a Full HD 3:2 laptop with an Intel i5, 8GB RAM, SSD, USB C, and a premium build quality. You will absolutely not find this kind of value anywhere else.
I don't think a 5th grader needs a high end unit like this.
They should be thankful to get a nice unit like this

I am glad I did too. Figuring TD has a pretty bad reputation about actual inventory. I did just call them and they told me they had 64 of the laptops at that price and the stock tracker shows -3,000 currently. I told her I had to be one of the first to order, and she told me I was obviously mistaken..........Such a scam site anymore with Tigerdirect. How hard is it for the site to update based on the inventory available.......Such a shame.

Glad you got BB to PM at least, OP! Wish I had gone that route but by the time I saw the tip it was already sold out. Oh well, them's the breaks.
TigerDirect told me that qty: 64 were available, inventory now shows -3,000...................I was the one that posted this deal and still didn't get one.........what a crock

Thanks OP for trying. I was early in this thread after you posted and thought for sure the first page of folks that purchased would have been fine. I guess not. The person in this thread that called it was correct on TD. I'll know for the future to pricematch going forward. Good thing I didn't actually need a laptop lol
They must realise that this just hurts their brand when they do a deal with low inventory and keep allowing people to place orders where there are none to be had.
Funny thing was that shortly after I placed the order I got welcome email to TigerDirect Business promoting this very laptop deal. How can they be so incompetent/shaddy?
Ha...there will be another deal soon, I thought if I really want it, I would do the same, but I have a back ordered from tigerdirect, still not sure if they are going to ship it.
Went back and TU your comment. You were right! lol
Thanks. Yah TG probably is the worst retailer out there fulfilling a slick deal. If you think the price is even marginally close to be a SD, well, TG won't ship anything. They do this often to collect user info to send spam.
Not really. He got lucky. Everyone tried BB price match and 90% got denied because the BB unit and this unit are not EXACTLY the same, which mean BB can deny the PM.

Tigerdirect has a reputation similar to a shady used car dealer. It's more likely they had 6 units available, I highly doubt people were trolling TigerDirect at 6am waiting for this item to go on sale.....Amazon yes TigerDirect not likely.
Also got an email saying my order was canceled hours later, and they said sorry but hey we want to make it up to you, contact us for a 10% discount code.
