No Honor.

Man, it says on the screen shot that availability is subject to change prior to shipping. Quit crying about it. They sold out of a discontinued item that they wanted to get rid of - happens all the time. My friend and I got 2 of them (out of the 4 we originally ordered) but you don't see us complaining.

Noted. Thanks for your valuable input, enjoy your light.

The fact that you live a few miles from Marine Depot wouldn't have anything to do with your good fortune, would it?

This deal was posted on another forum I frequent. Everyone knew it was probably too good to be true but were placing orders anyway. Some people were ordering 100 of them to resell. I think it's a lot of complaining about nothing.

Even if it's a pricing mistake, the law says they have to honor the price. Same thing with a brick and mortar. Failing to honor an advertised price can cost a company LOTS of money in fines.

A lot of people are commenting that "maybe they ran out." The problem with that scenario is that they'd have had to run out of an item, on Saturday, that they started a new ad for on Sunday. In that event, they'd still have to honor the Saturday sales. Advertising an item that they know they're out of, and NOT offering rain checks, falls under the same laws as not honoring a published advertised price. Big No No.

NO THEY DON'T! Did everyone get their $6 flat screen from Best Buy? NO! Did BB pay Anything? Nope!

No sorry they don't have to honor it. It would be an honorable thing to do, but they dont have to. Obligatory disclamers are on all advertisements, basically a if we dont want to we dont have to, if we choose to go that route. That appears to be the route they are choosing.

And what makes all of you think that they actually didn't go out of stock and it was a computer updated ad?
