JTL light for 3.00?

[CaptainTom]

I will bet there are rants on other boards about "they should sell them to me at that price anyway", etc. etc.

I tried to order the lights at $3, but couldn't get my paypal to work. I expected them to correct the error, and had tried to order them "just in case". I didn't want to be the only one to not order the $3 lights.

SKU # JTVE800

Mfr. Part # 3218

Our Price: $524.95

Way More than $3!! Wonder where the $3 came from? This is at least the second time now that they were way off on a posted price, guess they need to replace whoever is loading the price data in!

It was nice while it lasted!

Got the same email.

Now this is weird. I've been checking my inbox for the same email, but I got a back order notice instead. And NOW, I got a pdf file from them, showing a printed copy of my order...

Dare i hope against hope?

[jbrem]

Dude! maybe...
well, I got the same e-mail. I did send them an e-mail saying that they should be more careful on proofing their listings before posting them on the web, but like everyone else, I figured this would happen... oh well, nothing lost.

Heck! Somebody probably noticed that whole passel of orders from Texas and figured there was a conspiricy... Then checked out the website!!!

I found this in my "spam" folder (guess the subject of "Your Adorama Order" triggered it).

If it's too good to be true, then... ahh, what the heck, at least we tried;)

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

I just received my backorder notice a few minutes ago but nothing about not honoring the listed price. Will keep you posted.

Here's the text with my PDF email. No mention of cancelling my order or typos.

[Daniel Bates]

I'm guessing this is like the "PW Transmitter for $30" deal... a few people will get it, but most of the orders will cancel.

Now THAT would be a great Christmas present.

[jbrem]

We are not responsible for typographical or pictorial errors.

That is also taken from their website, I'm just wondering, if they're not responsible, then who is?
