Hahaha! I wonder how many $10 gift cards they had to issue! Sounds like it's in the hundreds. Unbelievable. Me thinks that some careless employee got the pink slip after this debacle.

They told me it was a computer glitch. They said if an employe made the mistake then they would have honered it...Bull****

I never knew that a business has to honor something just because of an error. That makes no sense. Surely you guys didnt really think they would be willing to give up a ton of money for free? Why in their right minds would they do that...The $10 gift is more than enough for your ordering troubles.

I do know that in a store they have to give you the price marked on the shelf. But I figured it was different on line.

Yep in a store the marked price must be honored. It is a LAW. Aparently online is different.

Re: Best Price Ever--test Ordered

i dont think i could ever do something kile that just because i would hate it if i lost a very sucessful business just because someone or a computer made an error and i lost hundreds of thousand of dollars because of it. i bet marine depot sold hundreds or those lights. if they would honor them then they would be no longer a business.

Re: Best Price Ever--test Ordered

I agree James wishful thinking on the price but the result would have been disastrous. Wonder if they have a type of insurance to cover such things...

If they dont have insurance to cover it then out of buisness they go. Check and check again.
