Poor Michael at Compass Coffee going to get back in the office to cancel 25,000 orders of a Burr Coffee Grinder. Sweating profusely having to hear from 2,000 Karens who believe he should honor a price error even though it would put his small business bankrupt.
I'll devote my next cup of coffee to him for the hard work he is about to do on a simple website mistake.
These are the times that make me want to leave Slickdeals.
This code was obviously not supposed to get out. It was probably intended for a few people who were instructed to use it on an item or two as some sort of a gift, possibly as a charitable type thing.
A small business can't just front a loss like this, especially to a group who isn't going to want to pay full price for anything they have, much less for an extended period of time where they could actually (eventually) break even.
This isn't Target or Amazon. I would really encourage you to not get upset when your order is cancelled and instead to have some compassion for this owner who now has to spend hours and hours trying to remedy an honest mis-take while having people berating him via email and otherwise (as I see some of you are ALREADY ready to do).
This is a great sign. It shows us that the server operators at least know these orders are being placed. I've seen many a slickdeals over the years from websites that allowed orders nonstop for an entire weekend.
Maybe there's hope that they fulfill these orders. I've got pounds of whole coffee beans just waiting to be ground up! Lets Goooooooooo!
Eh... dunno about that. The fact the the actual price jumped to 2x the previous price seems pretty bad IMO. Means to me that they somehow gave the 1/2 off twice, and probably only meant to do it once. Even if $135 isn't the best price for one, $67.50 is pretty extreme.

$135 is still a good price for this grinder new if you really need one soon and don't want a refurb. Who knows if they even have stock anymore, though.

Please be better, people.
