Lot of interesting perspectives. Don't agree with the "bait and switch" analogy as someone would have to be actually planing on this and replacing the product in question which from what I can tell based on the limited information is not the case. No where in the original post did I see a substituted item being offered.
As to mark up. Sure if you scrape your prop on a rock in the middle of nowhere on July 3rd and go to a dealer for a new one you're going to pay at least list. That being said most parts being offered on discount site are indeed discounted and there fore the margin is not there anymore like it was at list. Trying to blackball a company because they had one miss-marked item is certainly the new way of the world it seems. From bakers to car dealers everyone seems quick to want to destroy a business no matter how small the offense. I'm personally done with this vigilante mob mentality. Count me out if you're pushing for boycotting someone over one simple pricing error. Think of it this way.... You go to list something on Craig's list for say, $150 but you screw up and it gets posted for $15. Someone shows up to buy it and hands you the $15. So do you let it go for $15 to prove your integrity and maintain your reputation or do you apologize and inform the potential "customer" of your error? Right, that's what I thought. |

Pricing errors happen. I've worked in catalog/ecommerce for years, and unless there is intent to fraud, there's no law being broken by this company. I'd echo what @bturner2 just wrote.

Compare it to somewhere like Cat and they plan on people replacing roller pins and bushings and the like all through out the life of the equipment and you either buy it from them or you hire a machinist. |

I am curious as to which site it was actually?

My opinion is this: post your objective experience and let the cards fall wherever they may. Let the people that read your post decide whether or not they want to deal with this company. Often, things like this are indicators of the company's customer service support.
I would agree with others that there is really nothing you can do to force them to honor the price mistake. However, posting your experience might make them more inclined to work with you, and make them realize working with their customers is an important part of business. |
