I've noticed that their web page doesn't update in real time. I guess if you're going to get in on this deal that you need to do it before they catch it...

According to my receipt, I got charged $30 for the CPU and about $6 for shipping. Hope this isn't going to be backordered... [:0]

I ordered two as well, and I just got a cancellation notice.

we canceled your order

because amd cpu price was wrong. original price is $110

we are sorry about that.

Interesting... I actually got a phone call
telling me that they were mis-priced
and that the order was cancelled

I used to use a slide rule to crunch WU,
but then I learned how to use an abacus...

Got a voice mail message saying the same thing...

Guess someone had to pay either the $0.25 phone call or the $80 price difference... Shocking Smile

Well that pissed me off somewhat, to an extent that I sent an email back saying "You advertise at that price, you sell at that price, regardless if its a mistake"

Otherwise to me it would seem like false advertising. But then again in this modern world people don't pay for their mistakes, they cover them up.

Well, I will NEVER order from them again. That's the last time I'll visit their site, too. Done deal. Dude sends the exact email that is quoted above. I sent a response asking "Cemal" who the hell he is and what the hell he's talking about. I don't care if they are an LWD advertiser or not. When you pull some bullshit like that, expect to be ripped.

JERK-OFFS.

Oh, and just for reference, the MPCParts price is $110.00 + $6.10 shipping = $116.10.

NEWEGG's price is $86.00 w/ free shipping.

GEE, WHO DO YOU THINK I WOULD BUY FROM??? DUH.

I'm going to have to get in touch with my contact over there and see what I can do about this. I'll try to get him on the phone tomorrow during the day.

Every site has that same disclaimer. Doesn't make it right when they do it, now does it???

In addition to calling him tomorrow, I just sent him an e-mail. Haven't heard from him in a while, so I hope he's still working there.

I did manage to send him an email....I tried my hardest, probably sounds like shizot.

Cemal,

You had advertised on MPCParts.com an AMD XP 1900+ CPU
for $30.00 this morning. I promptly ordered one, to
recieve a notice that you have cancelled my order as
to a price change. This would be false advertising,
my friend.

You're website terms and conditions of sale agreement
clearly state that once a product is ordered, any
change in prices will not effect a placed order. As
for a more direct quotation:

"Any such price changes or changes in configuration,
however, will not apply to the sale described in the
Order."

Sir, you have changed my order, cancelled it, for the
sole reason of a change in price. You have failed to
adhere to your own sale agreement.

Please follow through with this sale, my payment will
still go through, and I expect to hear from you noting
my order has been shipped.

If my order is not completed, this will be the last
time I attempt business with you.

I hope that can change a mind. I doubt it, this guy has recieved hundreds of these emails, undoubtedly.

Ahhhhh, I see what you are getting, cheezer. I was a bit slow on that one. You are 100% percent right on that my friend. BTW, don't forget to stop by www.resellerratings.com to post a review. I did.
