HP $120 desktop fiasco......

1,121 1,039 August 9, 2012 at 10:04 AM
So who got in on the $3000 PC for $120 pricing mistake that happened this past weekend? The orders were cancelled and people rec'd a refund of their $$ on top of a $200 coupon off of the HP store (no minimum purchase)

Love to hear what you all are getting with your free $200 from HP.

If you'll queue to the left we have a small form we'll need each of you to fill out, you can keep the pen but we'll want the clipboard back. Please check the appropriate box to let us know if you'd prefer a hamster or a lizard. Tea will be served promptly at dusk, don't be late or there won't be any biscuits left and you can't say you weren't warned. Mind you don't track mud across the carpet, I've just mopped. Don't tease the animals, they bite and it'll be your fault and there aren't any more band-aids until Schooby does the shopping on Sunday.

Have a nice visit and please tell all your friends!

Why was the other thread closed? I want to see if anyone actually gets the system or actually gets multiple orders using the same coupon.

I don't think I've ever been involved in a fiasco. Maybe someday. Sadwalk

They closed the 500k views, 400 page thread and then someone else opened one to ask who he should call about him not getting a coupon, then they merged it with the original thread and it's still closed.

I tried my coupon twice but only one order was accepted and it shipped out with tracking overnight and is due tomorrow. Chose the 23" that costed nothing out of pocket. bounce

Still doesn't explain why it was closed. I also chose the 23" and hopefully I can unload it.

I was going to skip it, but decided to play for fun. So glad I did. This was a very nice gesture on HP's part. Still possibly a candidate for DOTY.

I'm gonna wait a few days before buying anything, as a whole lot of stuff seems to be gobbled up right now. The monitors are too low-end for me, so I'm thinking of grabbing an external hard drive or maybe a set of toner for my color laser. Decisons, decisons...
