Add another canceled order. Sure was fun though. Remember the Value America misprice on the unreleased Dreamcast system back in Sept. 1999? ($109 delivered.)

Mine got canceled too! never harmed anyone to try for it though, so I am NOT complaining
and definitely do no harbor any ill-feelings
towards Chapters.ca for canceling all the
orders. Be realistic guys, if this was your
business, you would NOT wanna be screwed so
many millions for an OBVIOUS mistake. So just
let it go and GO ON WITH YOUR LIVES!!!!

Huzefa,
Do your math!!!!
you figure chapters would only have lost
a couple of thousands???? Would hate to
have you doing MY books!!! If they sold
ONLY 10 PS2 at a loss of US$200 apiece,
that's already US$2000, that pretty much
covers your couple of thousand!
How about trying just under 6000 orders!!!
That is what I have been told by an insider
of how many orders they got at the OBVIOUS
screwed-up price!!!! And no, I DO NOT WORK
for chapters, just being reasonable, I would
say! I was one of the customers who did infact order and had my order canceled and
unlike yourself, I DO NOT harbor any ill-feelings towards Chapters.ca
They are only running a business, NOT A PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCY!!!

i have no issue with them cancelling my order. the only real problem i see is that they don't even tell us about it (via email). That is pretty shady, if you ask me. Have they responded to anyone's complaints?

No kidding, eh?
None of us with legal backgrounds even post on these matters because it might require some actual RESEARCH into ever-developing e-commerce laws rather than blind speculation.
