From the AP:
"Some online bargain hunters were upset on Wednesday to find that Best Buy won?t be selling them a large plasma screen TV for the price of a movie ticket.
Through an apparent mistake, the retailer?s Web site had listed a 52-inch set at a price of $9.99 for several hours. That?s a great offer for a Samsung set that typically costs $1,699.99, but it?s not a price that the retailer decided to honor.
Lawyers have already been called. One disgruntled Best Buy shopper has even started a site, TenDollarHDTV.com, in an effort to rally his fellow shoppers to action."
If anybody has heard about this debacle, what do you think? Should Best Buy have honored their mistake even though they don't technically have to? Would you have handled it differently, like giving some sort of coupon or something rather than just refunding the money? Could it have been a conspiracy to get more hits on their site? There are a lot of different opinions, I would like to hear yours!
To me, it seems like a lot of greedy people trying to cash in.
