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.

 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! |

Thank the Slick Deals deities I placed my order last night, because, lo and behold, the drive is $249.99 this morning! I was ready to name HP Company of the year for giving out the $200 certificates, but raising the prices to compensate for this really reminds me of how shady they can be.
They may not be taking as much of a bath on this as they would have had they sent $3500 computers out for $70, but it still must be walloping them good.
Lesson learned: If something like this ever happens again, use the coupon right away.
And thanks to all of you for spooking me and getting me to place my order last night!

Resale combined on eBay would be about $150 for a quick sale, shipping costs would be minimal.
