November 6, 201312 yr Walmarts online store had massive price mistakes this morning. They had 1600 tvs going for 200, 30 dollar treadmills, 8 dollar computer monitors etc. Tons of crazy prices all over the place due to an error on their part. They will likely end up cancelling a lot of the orders unfortunately, but lots of people were able to take advantage due to the in store pick method. I got a 200 dollar video card for 40 dollars and 400 speakers for 30. Now I'm just hoping they ship.

November 6, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) They better honor it If it was a good-faith mistake, why should they honor it? What if TVs were priced for 1 dollar? I think it's weird that as a society we think we should get away with something.
November 6, 201312 yr The only item I see now that may still be listed wrong is this 39" Vizio 1080p LED Smart TV for only $398. On the main page it shows this TV for $1700, but when you click it it's now $398. That's a great deal if I was in the market. http://www.walmart.com/ip/VIZIO-E390I-A1-3...62-TJR-23565842 Edited November 6, 201312 yr by Chilihead90

November 6, 201312 yr It's their mistake/fault. Big company like that. I've worked in retail around a decade and we always had to honor typos, etc. it's basic customer service. Not the customers fault.

The Vizio 42" Smart TV was listed on Yugster this morning at 498 bucks

The consumer pays for it one way or another be it a lower dividend of stock or higher prices next time around. I hate Wallmart I think it is a flea market.
November 6, 201312 yr If their website doesnt have a clause that all sales arent final until shipped, they need a better attorney.

In addition, we will send these customers a $10 e-gift card that can be used toward future purchases at Walmart stores and Walmart.com"
