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.

Welcome to the Lounge!

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 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.
Sell the code on eBay and then have the buyer file a dispute and win since there's no proof of delivery/tracking # and the bastards side with buyers often.

Quote from amc1870 :
Has anybody that ordered with overnight shipping after the daily cutoff get a tracking number yet? This whole thing has inspired paranoia.
I order last night the $199 LED 23" at about midnight and it's due to me tomorrow with free overnight delivery lol.

That $120 HP computer thread that's been shut down is a total mess. What bunch of idiots and trolls.

I'm debating on 23in non ips monitor or laptop battery $120 - 50coupon=$70 and 20in monitor for $130. hmm.

Yes, it was a mess, and deserved to die.
I haven't heard of anyone being able to use a $50 coupon along with the $200 code,
but maybe you will be the first... Smilie

Did the $200 coupon take the money off regular price or the sale price?
