As much as it sucks to not get a sweet Leatherman for half price, this whole thing honestly seems like a pricing mistake and the vendor isn't liable for that.

Could they have handled this better? Yes.

Are they being malicious? Probably not.

A bait and switch tactic would be if they responded with "Oh, that's not available at that price, but we can sell it to you for $XX instead" or shipped a cheaper version of the item we thought we were purchasing. Traditionally, it would be a B&M retailer advertising a deal that's too good to be true to get people to spend the effort to get to their store and forcing them into a sunken cost situation, but in this case, with it being a website, you wasted the effort of a few clicks?

If you paid with a credit card, then the $100 that's "locked up" isn't actually your money, it's the bank's, and you have the power of initiating a chargeback if the retailer doesn't refund the transaction.

Damaging their own reputation is a cost they'll incur from this, but contacting your AG over something like this is laughable. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
The credit is in my name, that money is my money, as I am liable for it. They could have used this for a shirt term lending option, a two week loan with zero interest. No issues in contacting a state AG.

It did. For that moment when I thought everyone was going to get their order.

It honestly reminds me of the hp touchpad. Where everyone, including Newegg went out of stock and then back in stock for backorders that they couldn't fill.

What I wish is that TAG would have found a way to make it right, rather than so wrong. But maybe they'll łearn to stop charging before they ship and stop auto backordering on clearance items.

Credit is quite literally NOT your money, and you are not liable for fraud that occurs. It's the bank's responsibility to ensure that any retailer accepting THEIR money (your credit) provides the promised goods/services.

I placed my order on 9/18 and got a refund posted on 9/22 and email from them on 9/23 saying their inventory was depleted. Refund was posted from "LCI ONLINE DURHAM NC"

Haven't gotten any follow-up email from them yet for the 15% off coupon they said I would be getting for the inconvenience, not holding my breath!!!

I posted, earlier in this thread, a link from LCI.com (https://www.buylci.com/super-tool...-box.html) that was where TAG was sourcing their stuff, same as the credit card merchant. When I found that link, I noted the inventory at 1001 - the page is no longer present but the nylon sheath versions are still the $77.xx price.

There's no shady shit going on here - it's obvious the vendor, LCI, ran out of stock and TAG doesn't have a real-time inventory link to LCI I'm sure - and there were lots of refunds issued.

This wasn't a free adventure for TAG.

If this is deliberate fraud, then it is a completely different issue. What I buy with my credit line, is my money.

However, I don't understand the need to debate the terminology, which this is. If you are trying to defend TAG by saying this isn't our money, and they are just defrauding the credit agencies that isn't good for them either. Regardless, not good business practices, and I will be disputing the charge.

Lame. Do you read the "art of the deal" ? Aparently it's okay to steal from people? This has nothing to do with inventory, it's being billed for 10 days now, and still no refund, and no product. If they consider this a "loan" then pay it back with interest, however it is not a loan to begin with. How does this differ from theft? Refunds should have been issued instantly.

They charged my credit card the day after I placed the order. I got an email four days ago that my order was cancelled and refunded. There's been no refund made to my credit card, and I've gotten no reply to a couple of emails to TAG. I'm going to file a fraud dispute with my CC to get my money back.

+1. Order placed 9/18, canceled 9/23, it's 9/26 and no pending refund showing. Final check tomorrow AM, just in case a weekend delays anything from showing as pending on my online banking, and if not, chargeback. This is ridiculous.
