So lets say you walked into the bose store because you needed to buy a pair of headphones and you pass by a pair thats in the box and labeled refurbished on sale for $39 and you say hell with it, I will take a chance and buy these because it seemed like a reasonable deal to you considering a brand new pair was $200. You go to the cash register and you pay for them you get in your car go home and you start using them for a couple days. Then three days later someone at the store realizes the wrong price was on them. Do you think they will come to your house and ask for them back and tell you that they made a mistake? This is what's happening right now. And they need to own up to it. Price mistakes happen in stores all the time and people buy stuff at a drastically discounted rate. No one goes knocking door-to-door asking for the product back. Online retailers should be held accountable. The mistake equals their problem. It shouldn't be the consumers problem. If you as an individual listed something for sale on eBay and you made a mistake on the listing price and sold that item too cheap the buyer would chastise you and eBay would probably kick you off the platform for not shipping out the item or honoring the sales price.
The fact that Bose did not address the issue and offer some sort of compensation to its customers says a lot about the company. This might've been a marketing gimmick right before the holidays. I personally always fight for the little guy. I don't feel bad for the big companies.
Nah I despise the "flippers" who are always ready to leech on this site. This one will probably get called back since it's almost certainly a price mistake (Probably meant $139 and $169). But they've ruined many great legit deals in the past when someone orders 5-10 of an item and quickly depletes the stock.
Getting 2-3 of these to give as gifts is cool. Buying 5 to try to flip is the very definition of rent-seeking. They contribute nothing to society.
On the positive side, the refurb QC Ultra deal ($210) is still very good for what is likely a "legit" price. IMO it's my favorite ANC headphone set currently
oh my gosh, my order was changed as return to sender at this morning I was so much desperated because it was in out for delivery status.
but.. my friend UPS deliver finally knocked door and gave it to me just now!! it feels like a special gift I got.

I received the same email. But order status still in PAID
I ordered when this thread was still on its first page, order confirmation email came in at 10:32 PST.
Just got the cancellation email this morning, shipping label created but no activity.
Been on SD and FW going back to the urlhasbeenblockeds and anandtech days. Never seen a return to sender before, that is some next level bs. The blatant relisting of the item at a higher price and audacity to say they're out of stock vs admitting a price mistake is also lame

I got email confirmation at 10.28PST but no cancellation email yet.
I had initially guessed the stock was pretty small but if it's true that flippers got word and emptied out a significant stock, the seller might've taken a significant loss. Especially if people are ordering 10-20 at a time. From the history of Slickdeals, when price mistakes get pulled back its either if someone contacts the seller (which is quite possible with flippers eager to get their stuff shipped) or if people order a big quantity of products.
Why do people on here assume these companies will only notice if someone reaches out to them? Companies live or die by their sales analytics and if a bunch of people start ordering a product and sales spike for one particular product, they're going to notice that when they come into work in the morning and see they got hundreds to thousands of more orders overnight from eBay than they normally do. What it seems to me is the fulfillment team began fulfilling the orders as normal until the business decided to pause fulfillment and correct the issue.
