http://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=1715303

Can a complete set really be that cheap?

well, it says the regular price is $9.98 so it's probably a misprice. and since overstock has horrible customer service, sorry to say it, but it's highly unlikely that they will honor the price when they catch the mistake. overstock.com won't even have this available until nov. 22nd, so they have lots of time to find this error, especially once everyone jumps on the bandwagon. it's says they will charge your credit card once you place the order and speaking from experience, if you will end up needing a refund, it can be a frusturating challenge.

but it's only a $9 risk...if you're lucky and you can get them to honor the price, it will indeed be a great bargain!

I was just going to ask about their track record. Never ordered from Overstock, but at that price, I had to jump on it.

Yes, I have a horrible experience with them regarding a refund. So I am wary of the whole deal.

Ordered 1 for a gift. If they honor it, great. If not, no worries. Don't really care. Just as long as they don't charge me for something more than the misprice (yeah, definitely a misprice).

I just ordered one. Worst case scenario, they won't honor it and try to have me buy it at regular price. I've never seen it, so if I don't like it, I'll probably just flip it at Blockbuster or sell/trade it online.

As long as the either 1) honor the order or 2) cancel it, it's OK by me. Just as long as they don't try to charge the "regular price" after the fact...

So tempted to place an order, but I don't like the fact that they charge your card as soon as your order is placed. Yeah, it's only like US$8. Still, I get a funny feeling about this deal. Good luck to those ordering. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what happens.

Well I did my order through PayPal, as I think they will be easier to deal with than my CC company, if this all falls apart.

I'm in for a couple of sets, and I used my $10.00 coupon. Overstock has never canceled a pre-order price mistake for me...hopefully they'll honor this one as well.

Horrible customer service. Not worth the try for me.
