    I was in the market for a keyboard (musical) a few years ago and I was looking at a $1600 keyboard, it was mistakingly listed on a site for $1000, and I knew it couldn''t be real so I ordered it from a different site, and I asked them if they would match prices and they said they would and saw the $1000 price tag and were shocked, but they wanted my business and gave it to me for $1000. Two days later, the site that listed the price wrong corrected it and I got my super deal still.

    I think you got robbed Zig. Now, I'm no lawyer but I /believe/ they have a legal obligation to sell it to you at the price listed. The reason I say this is when I shopped for my wife's engagement ring I found a really hot deal for a half carat ring with another 1/4 carats in baggets around it going for 999 bucks at a local mall. I went and plopped down the 20% required for deposit to hold it. When I went back to pick it up, I discovered that they had put the wrong tag on it, it was actually 1999 dollars. But they had to sell it to me as I had already entered into an agreement to buy it with them. Maybe that doesnt apply to your case, I dunno. WTH its only 9 bucks of course. I'd hot link Johnny Cochran's email here but he's dead.

    They probably have a clause in their policies that no one ever reads about something like this to cover their asses.

    i was shopping for a cell phone on verizon.com, and when i called them to order it and a plan, they said the price on the website was wrong and that it was like 100-150 higher. i quickly went to the website and took a printscreen of it, and then bitched them out. they gave me the phone at the lower price.

    That blows.

    A few years ago, there was an online-casino called Intercasino. My buddies and I used to place bets on college football on there. One day while cruising the site for possible bets..we came across a huge error. In a pre-conference game, Iowa, a Big 10 team and always somewhat decent, was playing a patsy...basically an easy win. The real odds had Iowa favoved by 35, but Intercasino had it reversed, and the patsy was favored by 35. My buddy dumped every dime he had on that game. He borrowed $7000 from his dad just to be on the game. In total, he bet about $12000 dollars on that game. Sadly, I only had $500.

    The next day, Intercasino fixed the error, and with 2 days until the game, we were worried that they might cancel the our bids and give us our money back. Never happened.

    Iowa stomped the patsy, even covering the 35pt spread. They won by 42. Of course, they won by 77 by our bet sheets...considering they were spotted 35 pts. Intercasino honored our bets as if there was no error. To this day, we scour all sport betting sites to find errors....none have ever turned up.
