Your right. Your rage was so high you clearly glossed over my first post without reading it properly.

Third party I referred to is not Bestbuy. How can it be. Is a third party not a third party? My post was about assholes who in that instance knew Wal-Mart made a price error and issued an erratum on the pricing error yet still went to another store (aka the innocent third party) to get a price match. If you condone that, then you suck. One thing to be mad at the company who make an error, but to screw another who had nothing to do with it and offers price matching in good faith is deplorable.

I agree. Making another business pay for Best Buy's mistake is truly fucked up, disgusting and despicable. And I consider these people, the ones who went to another business and tried to rip them off to be at the same level as BB. But early in your post, you put "When you know it's an error, to expect a company to honor it is laughable." I thought you were saying to expect BB to honor their deals is laughable. If I misread your post. Then I am extremely sorry and take back all the negative things I said toward you.

I did not fall for it.

Yep.

It's a sunny day, the weather is good. Everything seems so peacefully. A sunday morning. Where people is off from works, taking a rest with their family, etc. It's a good day for citizen to lay low, enjoy the joy of this universe.

Somewhere around this planet,
Mr. A and his family are taking a walk along the park, while eating a kebab and enjoying some music with earphone plugged in his ears. He is 47 years old. Have wife, Kelly, and 2 twin daughters, Molla and Molly.
"Dad, I want that candy", says Molly, pointing a gum (Not gun) store.
Her dad smiling, reaching his pocket, grabs his wallet.
"Here, buy some. Share it with your sister", he giving out some money to Molly.
Both of them are so happy, they quickly run to the gun (Sorry, gum) store with joyful faces.

"What a happy life, it couldn't get any better", but, suddenly, while he trying to put back his wallet, it falls from his back pocket without him noticing.
Mr. B see it, and then his brain popping out a multiple choice :
A. Who cares? I don't give a fuck. It's not my responsibility. Live your own life.
B. Wallet! I have to take it. Might be a lot of money inside there. I'm not stealing, I'm just taking thing from the ground just like taking garbage to trash can. There's no telling that he dropped it on purpose or not. So it's not my fault. The taker the owner. Nyehehehehehe.....
C. I have to tell him and give him back the wallet! Taking it is not the proper thing to do. There might be something very important to him inside the wallet.

A. Who cares? I don't give a fuck. It's not my responsibility. Do your own business.
B. Metro Last Light! I must received it. Might be no other chance later. I'm not raging, I'm just asking my rights from the deal that happen just like buyer and seller. There's no telling that they putting false price on purpose or not. So it's not my fault. The buyer the owner. Nyehehehehehe.....
C. I have to tell them that they are putting the wrong price. Buying it is just abusing human-error. There might be something very important to them at the sale.

Your life your choice.



EDIT : Oh shit, didn't mean to bump this thread.

Coming from an idiot who can barely read, who has no understanding of personal responsibility or honor or anything that makes a person, a decent person and not a sack of shit, I should take this as a compliment. How many times, must I tell you. It's not about the game. It's about people keeping their word. It's about living in a world, where people don't just unleash diarrhea out of their mouths but words that are backed up with steel VS a world where people just say whatever the fuck they want and everything they say doesn't mean anything. Best Buy didn't keep their word. Through their website, they told people this game is for sale for 1 cent, people purchased the game. Best Buy later told those people, they cant have the game they already purchased. Best Buy didn't keep their word and that is a crime far worse than taking advantage of a mistake. Now do you finally get it? What I've been saying since the beginning of the thread? OR do I need to draw pictures or make a short educational movie? I wonder if these words will go in and out of your head just like my previous words...the next post from you will tell us. Most likely another butthurt post followed by asking your friends to continue downreping me. :)

PS
I already wrote this several times in this thread but somehow, the people against me keep failing to absorb this information. I already own Metro Last Light. I purchased it from Steam when it came out for $60 dollars. I have no interest in a 2nd copy for myself.

Was the 1cent taking BB at their word or a simple mistake, ie misclick on the website by whomever was doing it?

In post 107 langurmonkey apologized to Kabuto. I'm sorry but that apology is not good enough. I took it at his word when he ranted and raged at Kabuto for no reason whatsoever. To me, that is who langurmonkey is and the attempt at apology is no good here. Please take personal responsibility for your raging at an innocent bystander and unleashing diarrhea of the mouth at him. Through this website, you told people how awful Kabuto is and later you apologized. You didn't keep your word and that is a crime far worse than anything I can think of.
You apparently don't feel as strongly about personal responsibility and honor as I do and the least you can do is stand behind your words and not tuck tail and hide behind an apology. I don't want a world where people just say whatever they want and not stand behind the steel of the words they convey. Such a horrible crime when you don't stand behind your words when you first unleash them. No honor in that, none at all.

No, they're not fine to do that. Especially not after an order confirmation has been provided to the customer. I know some friends of my mother that went around buying 1 cent hamburgers because they were on the sign for 0.99 cents.

The retailer is in the position to know the difference between a pricing mistake and a doorbuster, not the customer. There's no obligation that BestBuy keep that price indefinitely, however, they do have a responsibility to honor the price for anybody that's received an order confirmation.
That's not even remotely the same thing. Taking money out of a found wallet is stealing. It's specifically illegal to do so, you're required to turn over such items so that they can be returned to the owner.

Whereas in the second case, if the pricing error was in the store's favor, do you seriously think that the customers would be entitled to a refund? Because stores don't usually offer that service. If there's a mistake in their favor, they're more than happy to take advantage of the situation.

Also, the customer has no ability to identify the difference between a pricing error and a deliberate door buster to generate traffic in most cases.
What does honor have to do with this? Corporations take advantage of consumers all the time, they set up their stores and websites to fleece the unsuspecting customer.

So, I'm not really sure why taking an offer that seems to be too good to be true is somehow wrong.

My post didn't even personally intended to you.
You might take the wrong point of view from what I said,

There's no telling that he dropped it on purpose or not.
There's no telling that they putting false price on purpose or not.

Taking it is not the proper thing to do.
Buying it is just abusing human-error.

Look at those sentences, make any sense to you?




Generate traffic? I find more haters here and there than those who glad that it was a price-mistake and continue using their service. They're not (or might be yes if that's the case) stupid enough to do that. It's like "Come come we are selling unlimited power resource just for 0.0001 cent living 7 generations" and then "Sorry it's just an alkaline battery pack sized AAA 1200mAh"
EDIT : ^Don't comment this one, I see that people comment everything on others post they doesn't like. I'm just stating the truth that my eyes see.

Read above.

Because it's not an offer, it's a mistake. If you tried to buy it at 1 cent, fine, even though i'm not morally ok with it. The problem here is to seriously expect a store to honor this "deal" and get pissed about it.

Haha, it's funny to see he mention honor while defending taking advantage of an obvious mistake. Hypocrysy, really.

By apologizing to him, I am paying for my mistakes. I raged at him because I misread his post. I never made a deal with him. I didn't offer him a game, take his money and then not give him the game. Nice try though, for a moron.. An apology is not good enough. LOL What should I do to make good? Buy him a new car?

Not defending Best Buy as a company really, but expecting them to honor such a glitch is pretty silly. Ranting about it like some great crime happened is dramatic and kind of shitty.

Just my opinion.

LOL. This, exactly.
