T500 steal

#1 Post by miketoro » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:52 pm

I don't follow T500 prices, but nevertheless this seems like a steal:

$362.99 ... Almost $300 less than the outlet price ... Crazy ...

Deleted it, because it is not a great deal any longer, IMHO. When I first clicked on the link the Outlet price was @ $300. As soon as I added it to my cart it changed to $769. I have no idea if they actually sold any at the $300 price.

Yep, listed at $298 but as soon as you add it to the cart it goes to $769

Wonder if they would cave if you called Lenovo and raised a fuss about 'bait & switch' tactics :)

they should give it to you at that price. That is a horrendous error.

I've seen a lot of this this season. NewEgg has advertised 16gb flash drives for absurd prices: $5, $10, etc. If you don't get them the minute they go hot they're sold out. It must be a way to drive traffic to the site.
