Just ah well we tried and on to the next deal... why would anyone get angry over not having their order filled?
I put in an order for one, but I doubt they will honor it....and I won't be upset if they cancel the order, I will however if they decide to charge me full price for it. I figured it was worth a shot, but the deal went on too long and spread too far for them to be able to afford to honor it.

Maybe they'll give everybody coupons or something, if they gave me a decent coupon I might consider ordering something else from them even though I'm not a big fan of theirs.

As of October 1st, 09:30am GMT+1 the deal is still alive. I'm pretty sure someone within Express.com must know about it (especially since at least one person called cst support) so Express.com must willfully keep this low price alive (IMO).

Amazon has honored misprices in the last year. You have to call them. I called when they had the misprice on Chocolat with Johnny Depp and they gave it to me for the misprice of $12.99. I don't know if that would work with this company. I ordered one.

Why are you getting nervous? If you were already a customer they already had your info anyway. It's not like this is a new fly-by-night company. Although they are under new management I don't think this is some sort of fraud scam, although it could be a data mining scam There again though chances are they already had the info on most of us anyway...

For whatever it's worth, I'm in. Not going to hold my breath, though.

Still working though ...

Did anyone get an email confirmation/receipt? This same sort of thing happened back around 9/16 with Urbania, and I never got any sort of email regarding my order. During their recent clearance sale, I seem to recall getting several emails regarding my order status.

Anybody get one?

Their server had been hit hard with thousands of orders over the weekend. I can imagine they are having some executive meeting right now to decide whether to cancel or to honor the deal and file Chapter 11 again

I'm guessing that this was keyed in by somebody wanting to give a deal to his pals, and then he forgot to put the price back up. 0.75 is just too odd to be a fat-finger.

Yup, it's dead.

"Your Price: $14.96 (25% off)
Retail Price: $19.95 You Save: $4.99"


So it's got the original soundtrack now? Will it have the dub or do I have to own two copies of this movie?

Did anyone else who ordered through 0rderbox have their bid DISAPPEAR?? My $0.65 Mad Max offer is nowhere to be found. No bid, no offer, no invoice, just GONE!!

Moocher, OB also deleted the mispriced item from my cart without any notice.

Groucho, that sounds plausible if it were done at a brick and mortar where someone marks an item with the wrong pricetag but more and more stores have "item checkers" at the exits now to fight this.

Yep, my extra copy that I had placed through O/B is gone.

I've got so much waiting to go through O/B I missed it when I looked earlier.

Got in on this latest deal just in time. My acct history @ DVDExpress still shows the order - as backordered (pre-order). It'd be nice if they'd honor it.

No emails yet tho.
