The Mystery Deal is Now Dead!
 
I just checked the website in question and it appears they found the mistake. The price is now corrected. Also I checked my order status and it no longer exists. Anyone else lose their order?

Dah-Dee 09-28-04 03:18 PM

Bwahahahaaaaaa! :banana:

Er, I mean, sorry for your loss.

Deal shmeal! Traveshamockery! Now that it's dead, will *somebody* please tell me what we missed out on?

Groucho 09-28-04 03:19 PM

If it's dead, can you just tell everybody what the hell it was? The curiousity has just about killed this forum today.

WTF...
You guys messed with the whole DVD Bargins community over that .....
You guys suxor.

Groucho 09-28-04 03:24 PM

What's funny is that if he'd just posted the title and price, only a handful of people would have jumped on it anyway...and the results would have been pretty much the same. :lol:

It was only $20 at the time... and i've seen the Statue of Liberty doc, very well done.

What was it? nothing comes up on the link...

Ken Burns America Set .....

PopcornTreeCt 09-28-04 03:26 PM

That was it? How lame.

illennium 09-28-04 03:26 PM

They may or may not have found the mistake. They just rolled out a new website, and they probably synced their prices with the coconuts.com site. A lot of their prices are different than they were yesterday, not just that one. That still doesn't explain why the orders were cancelled. Oh well, it could have worked.

RobCA 09-28-04 03:27 PM

Well, that's a relief. I was afraid it would be something I wanted. :D

Good grief, is that really the item and seller? I ordered that same thing from fye.com last week for $18!

Why post a deal you're not willing to share?
If I found a killer deal, I would:
* buy it first
then either
* post it to places I enjoy and where I have found deals;
or
*not talk about it at all

I guess you missed the recent misprice thread on the Bretts at Amazon. There would have been a swarm of bargain hunters trying to get a hundred dollar boxset for around $20 if the original poster didn't restrict the deal.

I caught that on the tele... very funny, unintentionally, of course..

Myster X 09-28-04 03:32 PM

I will email FYE regarding this and any potential order in their queue.

I agree w/ LASERMOVIES. Illennium had a noble goal. If there was any chance for this deal to go through, this was our best shot. Nice try, Illennium, better luck to us all next time.

BS.
Did you or not or your clique jump on the CC price error, Farscape error, & CC $10 off $50?
