I've been doing quite well with internet shopping price errors this year, back in April I purchased a Sony KD32NX200 Freeview TV that was bundled with a DVP-NS405 DVD player and a SE 820 VHS Vid player for £864.98 + £27.50 Del from www.unbeatable.com. A few days after my order they changed the price back to £1749.99 but still delivered the goods!!!
Then a few weeks ago I was looking for a Tennis bracelet as part of a birthday present and picked up an 18ct white gold (14.28gr) bracelet with .098cts of diamonds on it from www.gioie.it for a Fedex deliveried price of £68.00, 10days later it was back in stock at £385.00 + 20% Vat +Del!

I just recieved a 200GB hard drive from dell for $248 - $200 rebate. If I lived outside Texas, it would have been $220-$200 rebate
It was a bit of a mistake, but Dell owned up to it because there were two valid rebates that overlapped by a day that were posted on their website.

Whenever I read such posts, I kick myself that I live in Germany. Over here, price tags are nothing more than "an invitation to make an offer to the vendor, who may accept or refuse". In other words, if a PIV 2.8Ghz is labelled "€30", I could well insist that they have to sell it to me at that price, but they don't have to. The law is on their side.
Well, it does prevent a little wear on the nerves, probably, or else I'd be spending much of my leisure time looking for such offers. *Grin*
