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?

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.

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.

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

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