JTL light for 3.00?

[Mike G]

No backorder email for mine, still shows processing.

[Hogleg 44]

Well, I ordered two, so if they actually should ship at this price, I will probably have 2 more than I need! But who can pass up a deal like this!

[jbrem]

hell, you can sell em for 30.00 a piece, the person who buys it will be getting a great deal, and you'll be making a hell of a profit.

A backorder email doesn't necessarily mean that it's not $3.00 anymore does it? At least I'm not thinking it does.

Ordered a couple. We'll see.

[darktiger]

I bit and ordered one. Chances are it will be canceled.

[flx2000]

i ordered three and no backorder email yet. this was a great post and find, just what i may have needed.

[jbrem]

This is on the page now:
"This is a New Item, Not in stock yet, expecting delivery from Manufacturer.
Please note: You can order this now and as soon as it arrives we will ship it to you.
We do not charge you for any backorded items.
We only charge your card when we actually ship."

I don't think it was there originally, I don't know though, I can't remember, but I do know that they haven't changed the price though...

If they don't ship, I haven't lost anything, but if they do... woo hoo!

edit: actually I saved the screen from when I ordered originally and it didn't have that statement on it...

[Toad]

What it be the power adapter cord, or a piture of the light. LOL

I just received an e-mail from Adorama.

Hi Jeffrey,
We regret the error on our website for the items you attempted to purchase. The prices were wrong, and as a typographical error we would not be able to honor it.

I got all excited for nothing. Actually I expected this.

Jeff

[Toad]

Certainly took them long enough to figure it out.
Too bad it's not like the good ol' days, where if the store you were shopping at made a mistake on the price, they would of course fix it, but would at least honor it for you.

I have had other websites honor the listed price, but it was only a $5.00-$10.00 difference. They are probably going to have a busy day sending e-mails to all the people that ordered these lights.
