They are not going to honor the price as it was clearly an error and they have a clause in their site saying that they reserve the right to cancel sales that were made based on errors.

And since when, my good friend, does using a credit card (or any form of payment that allows you to purchase things online) count as "selling it to you" or "you buy it for 9.99"?

 

You don't spend a damned dime until the charge clears the bank. And if they never actually charge you, guess what, you never bought it.

 

Not always true. If I had used a BestBuy gift card, it would have cleared it right away (used them plenty of times before).

 

Uhm, no, they're not.

 

Yes, they are. Otherwise, it's false advertising. Same thing happened with my mom, but they were selling iPod videos for $19.99

Sales got canceled and who ever bought them is getting a refund.

 

NEW YORK – Few if any of the deals retailers have offered online during the recession have been as good as Best Buy Inc.'s sale price of $9.99 on a 52-inch TV Wednesday. But it quickly turned out the offer was too good to be true.

 

The electronics retailer said it will not honor the $9.99 price posted Wednesday morning on its Web site for a 52-inch Samsung flat-screen TV. By early afternoon, the TV was listed at $1,799.99, almost half off the original $3,399.99 price.

 

Bloggers and Twitterers lit up the Internet with posts about the offer, some insisting Best Buy must honor it, others making jokes.

 

Best Buy, based in Richfield, Minn., said it has corrected an online pricing error and will not honor the incorrect price. Orders made Wednesday morning at the incorrect price will be canceled and customers will receive refunds, the company said.

 

Best Buy did not immediately return a call for additional comment.

 

Shares fell 27 cents to close at $36.50 Wednesday.
