kak Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 If this would have happened in a walk in store, one person would have got away with it until the cashier called the manager about the price mistake. You guys that are getting ****y over this .. you're just damn lame. Did you really expect the drive? You're basically asking for them to shell out a $150+ coupon for THOUSANDS of orders. Get some common sense over this. And for you complete morons that are taking this to heart [legally], you're going to waste more time and money than you did by orgasming when you saw the price mistake. Get a clue, tools.

altus Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Mine also says "In Process" for the regular 160GB ATA100 drive. Wonder if they just missed it or they're actually shipping it? ;) Either way, it's nice to dream for a little bit, but I don't think it's happening.

dougkinzinger Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 wow, this thread took a turn for the worse since i was last here. I think this post needs to take a trip to the cemetary. ;( Holy crap, I guess so. Both my orders were cancelled, but I still have the original confirmations. People, let me know if anyone actually receives the drives!

LittleMe Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 bad news, emails are going out this afternoon, all orders are going to be canceled as well. If your card has been charged, like me, it's be or is in the process of being refunded. so far, they aren't going to do anything like give us a discount coupon or anything but they might since i spent forever yelling at this lady's boss.

Spyder Veteran Posted January 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2004 OK people? let?s talk basic business. Anyone who's been billed will likely end up with a credit or a refund. If not, you're sure to have a legal standing for litigation. uBid knows this, so stop acting like they did this on purpose. This is a headache for them, and no doubt they are waiting for the countless threats of lawsuits, ect. They made a mistake, and considering their long history of foul-ups, so did every last moron who tried to buy these harddrives at these clearly insane prices. Granted, I think uBid should go out of business, but not just for this. They should drop dead for their long history of errors just like this. Their customer service is non-existent. It?s clear the company has no idea of how to conduct itself, so it should do the world a favor and go away.However, I am seriously amazed all the same. No really, you'd have to be a bonafide idiot to think that these were legitimate prices in the first place. This isn?t like it happened with Newegg. If that were the case, I would almost be able to understand the anger, but I would still take up for Newegg as errors are not common to them. Instead, this happened with a repeat offender. Please.. attempt to recognize the distinction. That?s like going to a sleazy used car dealer, buying a rust-bucket pile of garbage masquerading as a car, and then bitching when you have problems with it. What a stunning display of intelligence that must be. Now, some of Neowin?s members can always be counted on to pull some brainless posts devoid of any intelligence. While I wouldn?t call this thread a new low, it?s clearly gunning for that honor. Really now, how many of you actually thought you?d get away with this?? Perhaps it would be best if some of you take the advice of that word perfect support tech we?ve Box up your PC and get rid of it, ?cuz you?re too stupid to even own one.pid to even own one. Interestingly, most of the people bitching seem to be too young to be out on their own, and as such wouldn?t know the first thing about the real world, much less how business runs in it. Most of you who frequent Neowin claim to know more than your parents about computers. If that?s true, then you knew upfront this was a screw-up on uBid?s end. To claim otherwise not only invalidates whatever expertise you think you have in the area of computers, but also reveals glaring na?vet? on your part. Now a bunch of you are complaining over something you knew wasn't true from the start. What sense does that make? Don?t we have enough whining on Neowin? What a bunch of sore losers and retards. But there is an entertaining angle to all of this: some of you clowns have this asinine uBid should honor it's price ?alliance" or whatever that hell that?s supposed to be. Yea, uBid is so freaked out now that a massive alliance with a staggering grand total of roughly 15 kids or so thinks they should just give away expensive PC equipment just because they say so. Yeah. Right. To all the people complaining over this: don't worry. You really are victims. That is, victims of your own exaggerated sense of entitlement. Next time you see an error like this on a web store, do yourself (and not coincidentally, the rest of Neowin) a favor: check your reality deficit disorder at the door and try employing some b:hmmm:ogic for a change. :hmmm: lmfao leave it to delta to say it like it is.

mr_daemon Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 showing Shipped doesn't mean that it actually was sent to them. Actually that's very much what the term "shipped" is supposed to mean. Means it left the warehouse or at very worst is sitting in the outgoing bay waiting for a truck, packed and everything. (I worked in a warehouse packing stupid crap like gloves for one year in my first teenage years before becoming an evil network admin.)
