SioPao Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 yep, and if it is a scam, they can easily get away with just crediting your credit card back, so just like a publicity stunt of sorts.

dougkinzinger Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 @ SioPao, Yeah, but business hate to do that, 1) cause it costs money to do the credit card transactions, and 2) there's always tons of people who then complain to the BBB (Better Business Bureau). So I doubt it's a stunt. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/133346-steal-on-hard-drives/page/3/#findComment-1620053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SioPao Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 oh and posting this on hardforums.com hot deals section is a sure way to ensure that the deal is killed, haha. it's nice to share everwhere, but I just noticed it posted there, so you can bet this won't be up too much longer.

blackice912 Veteran Posted January 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 19, 2004 If we do get these, I'm glad I forgot to go to bed about five hours ago. :D Edit: I just remembered that I used my Discover card's anti-fraud system to order these. It generates a one time use number. If this turns out to be a mistake and they catch on, I wonder if they can credit my card. Hmm...interesting.

aGeMo Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Just ordered 5 160 gigger. Gonna add em to my raid array which I use to store movies/tv eps to stream to the xbox. Maybe might add one to my tivo. Could always use some space there. Here's to hoping the order goes through!

dougkinzinger Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Well, that, and if you paid by any credit card, be it Discover, MC, Visa, etc...you can always dispute the charges -- should uBid.com decide to raise how much the payment was, but they likely won't. Doing so is a sure-fire way to kill your customers. They hate it.

So then i gotta pay these dudes at https://www.myus.com/ for their service, and i might not even get the disks at that low price. Cant someone in the US order for me and send them to me afterwards?! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/133346-steal-on-hard-drives/page/3/#findComment-1620084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host my large collection of ScottyMacJubilee music. LAHRD!! No, I really only need one -- i've outgrown my 80GB's I have now. Yeah, pretty much the same here. If I get these drives, my 80GB goes to my TiVo. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/133346-steal-on-hard-drives/page/3/#findComment-1620091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SioPao Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 haha, well that makes the price mistake even more obvious. so we know it's a mistake, it's just a matter of how ubid handles it now, whether they honor it or not. but everyone ordering so many and in such quantities, it's doubtful they would honor it.

dougkinzinger Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Let's hope so!! If not, all we can do is just complain to the BBB and others -- even though we're assuming it's an error, it's good PR to honor stuff like that.

SioPao Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 yep, it would be great PR to honor it. but in all honesty, i don't know if they would even be able to physically do it. Just because so many people just from neowin ordered so many, and now it's over on hardforums. It's going to be 100's of drives for 20$, going to be tough.
