Is that what they mean by 'cancelled and credited', a credit back to the store? Not good enough, I want it credited back to my credit card.

Last time this happened with Overstock, it was credited back to my credit card - it took about 3 business days for it to appear on line with my credit card company - so I fully expect it will be the same this time.

I had paid with paypal and used a previous credit of 5.13. Mine was cancelled and credited as store credit. However they also gave me a "free" coupon. they are telling me I cant use my "credit" in conjunction with a coupon. I now have 27.82 in credits with them over three different orders being messed up and they are telling me I can only use 1 at a time unless they expire. That is crap, I sent them money , got NO product and now they are stipulating how I can spend my money. I have been on a chat line with a customer service person for 30 minutes and am awaiting a reply as I type this.
So as others have said earlier in th thread...BEWARE having to do a return or get a refund from Overstock.

Personally, I'm happy we got the $5 GC. They certainly did not need to.

Cloudspear has a point. I don't think it's legal for them to advertise a price, accept orders and charge cards and then not ship. Once they took payment and charged the card it became a legal contract. But I don't care about this set so I will not bother with it.

I emailed about the credit, and here's what I got:
" I have verified your account and the status shows that your credit card account was issued credit of $ 16.06 on 11/09/2005 on invoice. The credit was issued to the credit card ending in the last four digits of xxxx."
It'll take a couple days to populate where I can check it, but that sounds good.
They also suggested:
I have reviewed the website and I found a similar product 'Neon Genesis Evangelion (Paperback)' which might suit your expectations. You can view the same by following the convenient link to our site:
http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....prod_id=890253
which isn't quite the same thing, but they're trying.

At least like others have said they did say it was a price mix up and not try to give me some flimsy excuse. Though I do like how they said it was a the manufacture error and not theirs though. If that were the case wouldn't the miss price be across the board?
I do have to say my only gripe with this whole matter was if they were going to cancel all the orders, why not do it immediately after they changed the price on the site and not a week or so afterwards. Sure just dangle that carrot in front of us dam it

Glad I noticed this was getting bumped... I get multiple instances of every email that overstock sends out (because I have several accounts with them) and these days I tend to just delete most of them without ever reading them so I never noticed a message about the credit.

Do you think if there were just a few of those mispriced order, Overstock might just honor those orders? I could understand the lost of money in a big number of orders... Anyway, it's a selfish question, after all, this is a bargain forum, people suppose to pass the "bargain" deals.
Now a day, bargains are hard to come by... The best bargains are usually the mispriced items, but *sigh*, even that not being honored.

I got The Cooler and Open Range (2d SE) for a total of 4.80 after shipping. Not too shabby.

Sorry this didn't go through, but I thank Overstock for handling it properly - full credit card refund has been processed, and I'm sure I'll find something to use the $5 credit for - perhaps another misprice?

I received my refund and used my 5 dollars towards Mask (Director's Cut).
