He's in Cali, I'm sure thats another "green" fee they've tacked on.

[BustedS13]

He's in Cali, I'm sure thats another "green" fee they've tacked on.

wow, that'd suck if it's the case. i know la and shit is close to the beach, but what about guys in fresno? wonder how they feel about getting fucked all day.

[JeremyR]

[GSXRJJordan]

Good ops, we'll see what happens tomorrow. I ordered one.

[Z33dori]

tomorrow will be interesting

[yusk8ing]

haha. i wanna see how this turns out! kinda wanna try it but dont wanna have them end up "correcting" the charge to the card. LOl

[jamg]

you should delete the thread lol

[!Zar!]

I can't buy it because they say there isn't anywhere to ship it or pick it up.

Edit.

After all the Cali bs pricing.

My $10 tv turned into a $100 tv.

[importdude]

join the discussion on sd
its pretty funny

[ronmcdon]

He's in Cali, I'm sure thats another "green" fee they've tacked on.

Yeah it certainly is.
I paid that 'Green Fee' $25 via Newegg recently for purchasing a computer monitor.
State is broke and probably desperate to swindle it's citizens any way they can.
Also had to pay close to $400 for 5 units at city college here.
The costs of living here aren't getting any cheaper.

Even Texas is beginning to look like paradise.

[BustedS13]

what is the fee FOR?

[silly_13]

lmao...i wanna see how this thing turns out... imagine all the ppl that ordered actually gets its...we'll find out tomorrow..

[!Zar!]

Best Buy offers you to drop your old tv and electronics off for free or something.

But in return, they charge you for it when you buy a new tv.

Or something like that.

The fee goes to recycling.

[ronmcdon]

Just looked at the invoice from my Newegg monitor purchase:

Electronic Waste Recycling Act15-34 $16.00



From Wiki;

The Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (2003 Cal ALS 526) (EWRA) is a California law to reduce the use of certain hazardous substances in certain electronic products sold in the state. The act was signed into law September 2003.

All CRT, LCD, and plasma display devices contained in televisions, computers, and other electronic equipment with a screen size over 4 inches (10 cm) measured diagonally are covered by the act. After January 1, 2007 these devices may not contain greater than the allowed concentrations of any of these four materials (by weight):

* cadmium : 0.01%
* hexavalent chromium : 0.1%
* lead : 0.1%
* mercury : 0.1%

The Act also requires retailers to collect an Electronic Waste Recycling Fee (effective January 1, 2005) from consumers who purchase covered devices.

Kinda presumptuous of the CA gov't to presume you must throw your old monitor away.
I still use my old monitor, and plan to do so until it's broken.

[Vision Garage]

okay got in an order for 5 tvs. one for each room!

[shmiddy]

[SimpleS14]

Doesn't work anymore. =/

As for that Cali fee....ridiculous, but that state needs money somehow.

[enkei2k]

you guys all fucked it up. if you just ordered 1 at a time, maybe they won't catch on. but obviously if someone orders 5-10 of them, they're going to think something's wrong and investigate it. GG

[shmiddy]

dude.... no ones getting a $10 tv......... sorry to burst you bubble

[aziankingz]

guys who ordered.. any updates?

[piranhamatt]

LOL. It says "Sold out online!"

[Z33dori]

[DALAZ_68]

LOL. It says "Sold out online!"


LOL OMFG that is hilarious...i saw that too...updates tomorrow everyone

edit, shit has hit the fan people
http://brainz.org/news/999-tv-best-buy/498/

Apparently a few people thought it was the real deal and went off and started buying them. Best Buy has corrected the problem and apparently in the process of refunding the buyers.

[rastaman]

now 1699.99 sold out

[cxlo8331]

hahaha. would have been cool tho.

[FRpilot]

Interestingly to safeguard itself Best Buy has a clear policy when such errors occur and the guys in charge can “revoke” offers and to “correct” any errors. But when they will payback your money that you have already deposited through credit card , that nobody knows."

sounds like more headache than it is worth.

[singlecamslam]

Freaking california. EVERYTHING in price is going up EXCEPT my paycheck. last year my tuition was 1800, this year 2200, DMV fees are up, i'm depressed.

[!Zar!]

Best buy charged me for it.

Lets see how long it is until I get my cashola back.

[HyperTek]

bestbuy had $10 video games a while back.. and a few sold out.. i took the stock number and a cached website and placed a order on it *the website wont let you order if its sold out*... a few weeks later i get an email that they will no longer stock it and refunded me. hahaha

[tricky_ab]

I wish you guys all the best, but there is no way they are going to ship out these sets...

[GSXRJJordan]

Just got the order cancellation email from Best Buy, saying there was a pricing error, and they're sorry lol.

I demand satisfaction.

[tricky_ab]

Yeah, figures....

[rob_g]

This reminds me of the time a gas station was only charging something like .36 cents instead of the $3.60 per gallon if you paid with a credit card. My sister works at a bank where a few, even the branch manager filled up after being told of the glitch. They were all fired a few days later.

[GSXRJJordan]

"When you gonna let me tap that" Best Buy customer service rep?

Haha, if I do it, I'll have to have another phone to record it with. That would be toooooo funny.

"I'm calling to complain about my TV order - you cancelled it"

- "Oh, the 52" Samsung, right?"

"Yeah, but serious question..."

[zenki.life]

[I LUV MY S13]

i used to work selling tv's and that was one of the best models of that time...like a year and a half ago...recycling fee back then was 10 bucks

[!Zar!]

Busted didn't find this.

It's up on SlickDeals and all over the web.

[Mita Orange]

Haha its even on the front page of yahoo!

[Howard92884]

Yeah I got an e-mail saying they cancelled my order and my card wouldn't be charged.

Here is the yahoo link.

Best Buy $9.99 TV offer was too good to be true - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090812/ap_on_bi_ge/us_best_buy_pricing_error)

[zenki.life]

if it is to good to be true......it probably is. lol

[enkei2k]

now people are going to file a class action lawsuit and sue best buy because they won't honor their 10 dollar price tag. WTF people?? get a clue! smarten up for god's sake. no way in hell is a 52" tv going to cost you 10 bucks. never. ever. not even in 10000 years when a 1000" tv is standard.

"I'm going to call and be very angry," one commenter at Gizmodo said. "Is it really worth it to lose a customer? Maybe they will give it to me."

"I'll go to my lawyer and see what he has to say about it."

They can't file anything because Bestbuy is protected by their policies. These people must have no lives if they think they can win a case like this.
