HP $120 desktop fiasco......

1,121 1,039 August 9, 2012 at 10:04 AM in Tech & Electronics
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!

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...
You aren't new here! Don't EVER skip it!

I think the coupon expires on 8/18 or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, be careful!!!

Quote from cupcake42 :
OP send my your $200 coupon so I can make sure its good.
Sorry, spent it already.

Did you catch the user on like page 350 that got 3 cancellation emails and 3 coupon codes and she posted one in the SD thread? She gave away a $200 code to those vultures...

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'm guessing the thread was closed due to multiple reasons, at least 2 being: people repeatedly selling/ trading $200 codes for more than the $5 limit rule despite mods warnings against such; the troll getting trolled about his supposed code generating and twitter. That was extreme LMAO that some of it is still there after the mods did some deleting and changing said troll's user id.

What I'm curious is if there really were any free Xbox sent. As I found it suspect as many did that the first and only but questionable claim was from tabsit. I also question the 60% off purchase of the cancelled loaded PC. Wink

I bought a cupcake for our daughter yesterday, just for a treat (just a single, 88 cent cupcake from Walmart). Close enough?

She probably already ate it though.

I ordered the 2 TB external USD drive last night.
Tracking number issued should be here tomorrow Fedex.

Lots of people selling their codes on ebay for $150-180,
although one auction starting at $75.

Has anybody that ordered with overnight shipping after the daily cutoff get a tracking number yet? This whole thing has inspired paranoia.
