Talk about stupid... They should fire whomever does the wording for their sales, but worse the people who thought this was the real price are total morons! :crazy: At least Best Buy is refunding their money!!!:lol:

I have to admit I have never been a big fan of Best Buy. Maybe they should change their name to Not So Best Buy.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lawsuit in the future because they wouldn't honor that price. They shouldn't have to, IMHO. It was an honest mistake and they refunded the money.

I agree. Some people are too quick to capitalize on an honest mistake. I can't stand greedy people.

Of course they should not honor it. $9.99 for a huge TV. Cmon get real - those people should have known it was a big mistake. But in the interest of public relations, and because they did goof, it would be nice for BB to give them a discount of some sort as a courtesy. Not that they're obligated to of course, but it might smooth things. And yes, I am sure the "printer" who screwed up will HEAR ABOUT it.

I think they should email all those people who tried to order the TV and send them a coupon for $9.99 off or something like that. I was surprised they refunded the money, to be honest. I hate Best Buy. Like my husband said when I told him this story; Best Buy is only good to go in there and look at what they have and then go somewhere else and buy it!!!:lol:
