(Dead) Full Auto 2.42 + shipping

[bobbyblane]

Did a search on Pricegrabber and came up with Full Auto being 2.42 at Atomic Park. Looks like you have to go through Price Grabber to get it for this price. Try going through this link:

http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__Sega_Full_Auto,__16964848/search=full+auto

Put my order through $5.37 total. Hope it works for others

[dsullo]

wow what a deal!!!

[happyorangeman]

I have never heard of Atomic Park? They seem to have a bit of good feedback though. Might be worth the shot. Thanks OP.

[Rags]

Great find OP.

[outunderstars]

Nice deal! Just snagged one!

[Sporadic]

Well, I bit the bullet.

It will probably be canceled but I can always hope.

[Santurio]

wow, that is a damn good price.

[gregthomas77]

In for one, thanks. Hopefully they don't cancel.

[Masterkyo]

Deal is DEAD. It went up $40 + $3 shipping = $43 :(

Are there any codes for free shipping :-)

[fraggedbylaggers]

I am doing it.

[Brian9824]

Still seems to be $2.42 for me

[Ender]

They also have Dead Rising for $53.xx, which is pretty good for brand new. If you add it to your cart, you'll get free shipping, so the total for DR and Full Auto was like $56 shipped. I totally bit on that!

[danked]

nice

[jm2u]

Down for one, thanks OP.

[evo t rex]

Worth a try.

[Technique]

Thanks OP! Finally, my first great deal in a while, lets hope it goes through.

[fieldkillah]

Thanks OP. I've been wanting this game, hopefully it goes through.

[Brian9824]

I ordered 2 for me and friend. Most likely it will be cancelled.

[horrido]

I'm in. Thanks OP

[Mr Unoriginal]

I went for one, what the hell.

[javeryh]

Thanks OP - Just snagged one.

[Brak]

I'm gonna order one... here's to hoping they don't fold.

[javeryh]

I just got the confirmation email from them and a $5.37 total order price. Let's hope it ships! This would be right up there with the $0.99 Street Fighter Alpha 3 for PSP I shagged a while back.

[Sporadic]

I'm gonna order one... here's to hoping they don't fold.

I'm really really hoping they don't "fix" the price and charge us anyways.

Last thing I need to do is overdraft my bank account.

[maccabee72]

Thanks OP....keeping my fingers crossed for it to go through!

[bearcatjosh]

Awesome deal, ordered. Thanks OP!

JOSH

[locutus411]

Thanks OP. Ordered one for me and one for a friend. I don't think we will get it, but it is worth a shot.

[javeryh]

I'm really really hoping they don't "fix" the price and charge us anyways.

Last thing I need to do is overdraft my bank account.

I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed and they could get into serious trouble for charging you an amount you didn't agree to. I'm thinking they will just cancel the orders if they aren't going to ship them.

[Scorch]

I was going to order one but didn't feel like going through the process of making a new account and whatnot, only to have the order more than likely get cancelled. Full Auto isn't worth the trouble.

[ncibob]

Thanks op, i picked one up and I don't even have a 360 yet. to sweet of a deal to pass up.

[Bazz]

I order 3 lol will see what happens.

[pimpinc333]

it hasnt been posted on fatwallet yet so you have a good chance of getting a copy...if they honor it

[Sporadic]

As if hundreds of CAGs and Fat Wallets suddenly ordering a game at once within the course of a few hours won't?

Well, what's more suspicious to a person filling the orders, a sudden rush of 100 orders or a sudden rush of 100 orders requesting 5+ of the same thing?



We are hoping to stay as far under the radar as we can and people who go into with that mentality (it won't work, better order 10 so I have presents to give away at Christmas) just fuck it up for everybody who actually want in on the deal.

[MadFlava]

wow, I bought one and I don't own an xbox 360 yet. I figure to build my collection when good deals show up like this so when I do buy it I will have a library of games to enjoy right off the bat.

[MadFlava]

I wouldn't be too worried, look at their seller rating, that have more reviews that J&R who are a very reputable dealer.

[javeryh]

QFT. Well Said.

I'll second that. I just want to play the game. $5 is about all it's worth to me since I hated the demo but the chances of getting one go down with every order made...

[WAJedi]

Bah...had it in my cart, got to confirm, and its 36 bucks

[BigMatt63052]

Down for 5! EB/Gamestop any 360 game $10 after trading 2 here I come!

He's a newbie. 1 post and he brags how he hoarded on this deal. What a douche.

[mykevermin]

:bomb: It's times like these I wish I could reach through my monitor and slap the shit out of people.

Mebbe he was in such a rush to buy 5 that he ended up paying $38 a piece. :lol:

Nice deal, OP.

my order is still at $5...but the order file is displayed in a PDF? lol

Yeah that is weird.

Mine's currently listed as "Currently Processing".

[Collectordragon]

It changed to $36 for me. Not until I made an account of course. :-( I'm sure the people ordering multiple copies made the deal end sooner.

[aoLat]

Yep, dead for me, too. $36, and my deal on Kameo got cancelled last night. :cry:

[neudog]

Price raised to $38.

Same thing happened for me. Good luck to you all, but I expect to see posts here in a few weeks about some apologetic email from the company.

[Rig]

$36 here too. Damn I wish I would've seen this this morning. :(

[okill]

I missed it also. I have a feeling the orders may be cancelled.

[Brian9824]

For all those who are sad that its now dead, don't be. 99.9% positive that all orders will be cancelled

[xrickyb86x]

:bomb: It's times like these I wish I could reach through my monitor and slap the shit out of people.

hate to burst that kids bubble but im pretty sure full auto is excluded from the deal.

[cavalier]

Sounds great but don't be surprised to never see your order, no matter how "official" this e-mail sounds.

I saw another game I wanted recently, Rogue Trooper for Xbox, advertised at the SAME EXACT PRICE POINT by Atomic Park and was skeptical of that price.

Even more so, after I check the company on resellerratings.com and learned they're rating is in the toilet (5.1 out of 10) with TONS of feedback from people expressing "completely dissatisfied.

Think about it, how could they possibly offer an Xbox 360 game at this price, let alone the Xbox game I wanted which was at least $20 below what it was selling for everywhere else.

Atomic Park is a SCAM, so don't anyone be fooled.

Just check the ratings for yourself.

And always remember the old adage that "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"

[icruise]

Is it a scam? Although I have no experience with this site, one would think that if it was a "scam" they would have more realistic prices, and on games that more people would actually want. It may be a badly run site, but I don't think that qualifies it as a scam. The fact that they raised the price after everybody ordered means that this was a simple price mistake. Whether they will honor people's orders is anybody's guess.

[Brian9824]

its a price mistake, not a scam. With the mistakes most of the time they won't ship it. There have been a few cases of stores honoring the mistake but those are far and few between. For the most part the most you get out of something like this is a $5 coupon for most sites like amazon and overstock.

Thats why I can say with relative confidence that the odds of them actually shipping are very low. I did order 2 myself just in case, i mean it doesnt cost anything to try but i'm not expecting to get anything out of this deal.

[6669]

Atomic Park is a SCAM, so don't anyone be fooled.

Just check the ratings for yourself.
Do you have a link, or any proof of this? I'd really like to see it.

BTW OP, you should probably put "Dead" in the title of this thread now.

[fraggedbylaggers]

It probably isnt a scam seeing as most stuff is priced normally. Overstock has honored stuff like this before...

[MadFlava]

hmm, my status shows, scheduling for shipment. And it still shows $5 shipped.

[bearcatjosh]

Everyone keep each other updated on this; I'm interested to see how it turns out.

[fieldkillah]

Mine went to Order Received and Scheduling Shipment too.

[Wario64]

crap, mine shows processing still. come on, get through!

Did you click the track button? Mine says processing, but when i click the track button it gives me the Order Received and Scheduling Shipment

[TechGrunt]

Mine shows order received, scheduling shipment as well. I hope they don't increase the price and charge me anyway.

I found this on their terms/conditions page...
If an order ships with a significant pricing error because of a typographical error, AtomicPark.com may charge the customer the difference between the correct amount and the incorrect amount, or the customer may return the order

[Wario64]

I just saw this:



If you need to return or exchange your order, we'll be happy to consider your request within 30 days of your original order date. Please call one of our friendly customer service specialists to obtain a preliminary Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). (Don't forget to do this, as returns without an RMA number may be refused.)

Items for return or exchange must be unopened, and in the same condition in which they were sent. If your return is accepted, you'll receive a refund back to the credit card used on the original order. If you received free shipping on your order, we'll need to charge a $5.00 return fee.

However, video games and video game systems may not be returned, even if unopened.


crap, I'm getting worried now

[TechGrunt]

My order was just cancelled. Oh well, it seemed too good to be true.

[Brian9824]

Mine also says Order Received and Scheduling Shipment

[Brian9824]

If they try to charge me i'll simply have my credit card company do a charge back on em. I'm next to positive thats illegal. They can't charge you for more then they bill you.

They might as well say
If an order ships with a significant pricing error because of a typographical error, AtomicPark.com may go to your house and cry like a little baby because we screwed up

Did you even read my post?

They advertised the EXACT SAME PRICE for another game, this one for the original Xbox, on a game that should have cost at least $29.99

They are doing this so that their name and Web site gets free advertising, since when you go to pricegrabber.com or, as in my case, gamerankings.com, their Web site pops up as having the lowest price and gets you to travel there.

It's the best form of free advertising a Web site can get.

And did you even bother to read the comments on atomic at resellerratings.coms?

Most are complaining about how they bought something "cheap", never got it and cannot get a response via phone or email out of the company.

The fact that the advertised two games recently for less than $3 is no MISTAKE, as you like to refer to it.

It IS a scam and its gulliblal people, like yourself, that keep these kinds of businesses going and giving them incentive to pull off the kind of tactics they do.

Believe me, in two weeks or less, these guys who got the email confirming the sale will be right back here complaining about how it never shipped and they can't reach the company, just like the rest of those who got ripped off and posted about it at resllerratings.com

It's the old bait-and-switch tactic being employed by Atomic, except instead of selling you another game/item they simply switch the price on you.

[MadFlava]

well if they charge you and send it, just write return to sender on the package and have it sent back. Then put a hold payment on your Credit card.

[bearcatjosh]

I just called Atomic Park, and they claimed that they are trying to work it out with their distributor to honor that price (as it is the distributor's fault). If not, I am supposed to have the option to cancel the order.

I will pursue legal action with them if they pull any shit on me.

JOSH

[icruise]

Did you even read my post?
Do you even know what a "scam" is? Your little conspiracy theory makes no sense. Feel free to think that I'm "gulliblal" if you like.

[gregthomas77]

I told them to cancel (as opposed to charging me 37.99). I just got an email confirmation that my order was cancelled.

[Collectordragon]

It seems like it was a good thing that the price increased and I didn't go through with my order after all.

I originally spotted this last week, but the price changed before I was able to post it on the forum. My order shipped this morning and my card has only been charged 5.37. So it looks like this deal will actually go through for a few of us... and also doesn't appear to have been a scam. I'll let everyone know when the game arrives

Under order tracking did it ever say "shipped"?

[Wario64]

mine still being processed, no cancellation yet and still at $5

[Technique]

Mine still says processing and scheduling shipment. I'm going to call them.

EDIT: Looks like they might have charged me, because I have a mysterious charge on my card, I don't know what it is because my bank hasn't updated yet, but we'll see.

[bobbyblane]

Quote: "Under order tracking did it ever say "shipped"?"

Yes, my status was updated to shipped today

[Bazz]

Congratualtions on people who got order through wish mine did guess I was wrong for ordering 3.

[Ender]

Still "processing" here.

Edit: Correction. Status is "shipment sent to warehouse". So it looks like a done deal to me.

$56 shipped for Dead Rising and Full Auto is not too shabby indeed!

Lame.

Mine still say's "Order Received and Scheduling Shipment", so maybe we have a chance. I hope there is no cc scam going on here. I can understand not getting the game quickly. I can live with that. I guess we'll see tomorrow?

My order (2 copies) was just canceled. Nice that they canceled it without emailing to let me know.

i got the same but i sent back a email stating my displeasure and what not;)

i love how they say a special price of $36.00 when BB has it for $29.99

[javeryh]

Hmmm... no email for me yet... I'm still holding out hope but being realistic I doubt I'll get it. The demo sucked though and I would probably only play the game to unlock easy achievements and then trade it away for something else anyway.

[Ender]

I got the same email. Here's my reply:

Bud -

I received your email, and am very disappointed with your company's actions. The error is on your part, whether directly or via your "distributor", and you should honor the prices you list. Additionally, I completed the purchase, and my credit card was charged. This is further grounds for honoring your own mistake.

I know that I will never do business with your company again. I would assume that most of the other people who placed the orders for this game (and I know there were quite a few) feel the same way. You may have saved yourself a bit of money right now, but you've lost many customers in the long run.

Anyway, I do wish for you to cancel my order, as I will be taking my business elsewhere. Thank you for your time.

It sucks that they charged our cards and THEN decided they couldn't fulfill the order, but let's be realistic. Were you going to be giving Atomic Park a lot of business in the future even if they had come through on the deal? Your sense of outrage is misplaced. They have no obligation to come through on price mistakes.

Got the same email, I'll guess I'll call them tomorrow to make sure they cancel my order. Not having any luck in the past two days with CAG deals.

[Sporadic]

Alright they can't fulfill my order but they can charge my debit card.

What bullshit. Looks like I'll be calling them tommorrow.

[BigDirty]

Everyone that got charged, and then have the order cancelled, make sure to rate them at reseller ratings and price grabber (especially PG, since they are a "featured" merchant). Also if you have the time, file a complaint with your state Division of Consumer Affairs (or similar department).

No email yet...

[Jedi1979]

just a bump to say i filed a complaint to the better business bureau...I did not like how they charged cards and then canceled and offered the game for a $2.00 discount:roll: ...they should not be doing that (charging cards first)...Maybe other people should also file complaints just to cause a headache, i dont know if anything will come of it but i felt good doing it;)

[Brian9824]

I just filed a report on them thru the BBB. I suggest everyone who got charged do the same.

Its been a while since i've looked at the law but I believe once your card has been charged its a legally binding contract and they will HAVE to ship your games out. Thats why most places like amazon won't charge until the item ships.

[Brian9824]

Oh and FYI the BBB can actually get stuff accomplished. I had them make paypal reverse a decision and issue me a full refund. Plus its free and takes 5 minutes so its not too hard to do.

[Jedi1979]

this is what i received in response to an email i sent them after their first one

Thanks for your e-mail!
We do apologize for the typographical error, but it was out of our control.
However, we do explain the error policy on our site:
In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error, AtomicPark.com shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for product listed at the incorrect price. AtomicPark.com shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, AtomicPark.com shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price. (You may also see this on http://www.atomicpark.com/faq.aspx (http://www.atomicpark.com/faq.aspx).)
The price of $36.00 is our cost for the game, which is indeed under the MSRP. (MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price; not the price that retail outlets necessarily charge.)
Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I can assure you it was not intentional, nor an example of "bait and switch."

They actually charged my card after they sent me the e-mail saying they were not going to honor the price but I could buy it for $36.

[Brian9824]

FYI ignore whatever they say. Just because its on their site doesnt make it legal. Just look at my policy at the bottom. The simple fact is once you are charged its legally binding. That is why every major corporation won't charge you until the item has shipped.

Oh and ncibob they probably charged you before the e-mail. It takes several days for the credit card charge to be posted.

Lame. Even though 2 days ago I canceled the charge on my card still went from a hold to going through. They really shouldn't charge unless the item shipped.

[javeryh]

They shouldn't charge you until the item ships but we all knew from the start that this "deal" was too good to be true...

[pimpinc333]

Here is my chat log with a Atomicpark rep.

[Steph] Thanks for visiting AtomicPark.com! How may I help you?
[Visitor] Hello. I recently placed an order with you guys.
[Visitor] Now there was a price mistake int he system and unfortunatly I could not get the product at the price you guys had originally on your website
[Steph] is it for full auto?
[Visitor] You sent me an email stating this and I replied back that I would like to cancel the Order
[Visitor] yes
[Steph] how can I help you?
[Visitor] I checked my Credit Card today and I see that the Charge has gone through
[Visitor] May I ask why you guys charged me for something I am not getting?
[Steph] Our system automatically will charge the day of the order.
[Steph] We can reimburse your card, or increase the amount if you wish to stay on order,
[Visitor] I was very nice and 2 days ago when atomic park emailed me stating the price increase I gladly replied I would like to have my order Canceled
[Steph] let me check on that for you. Do you have your order number?
[Chris] Yes
[Chris] AP962508
[Chris] I really don't see it as a good idea to charge customers without shipping the item(s). Atomicpark.com should take a page from Amazon and only charge when the product has shipped.
[Chris] I know a lot of other people are upset about this. Mainly the fact that this company charged people without shipping. Majority filed a complaint with the BBB.
[Chris] hello????!??!?!?
[Steph] I am still here, I am on more than just your chat.
[Steph] I understand your frusteration with this. I wouldnt be happy about it either.
[Steph] we charge the same day, becaue 99% of our items ship the same day.
[Steph] Our system is only equipped to handle it like that.
[Chris] Time for an upgrade :)
[Steph] we realize this.
[Steph] As far as the 2.32 price, we were under the impression that most would be upset, however understand that we cannot sell this for 2.32
[Steph] I just checked and your card was refunded on 9/27
[Chris] Sure, I lrealize this was a price mistake but all I want is a refund that will show up soon.
[Chris] Ok how long til it shows?
[Steph] it went through on our end, however it takes about 2-6 business for your card company to process and apply towards your statment.
[Chris] What a pain. Remind me never to place an order from you guys again :)
[Chris] Thanks
[Chris] Have a Nice Day

[Brian9824]

Just to say I told you so but.......

For all those who are sad that its now dead, don't be. 99.9% positive that all orders will be cancelled

For those who argued and asked me how i knew, told ya.

[bobbyblane]

Got mine last night, and only had the 5.37 charge. Sorry to hear the rest of you had so much trouble with this.

[Sporadic]

Well, they said they are going to refund me but I really doubt it at this point.

I'm just going to go through all of the proper channels to report them.

Well, that's good to hear.

Hopefully they will actually refund me in the next few days.

[Brian9824]

The BBB has notified them of the complaint I have filed against them and they have until 10-9 to respond. Lets see what happens.

[Sporadic]

Got my refund yesterday.

[Brian9824]

Got my refund as well.

[BigDirty]

Finally got it as well... did anyone else get the "I'm ending this chat/call" when speaking with thier customer circus?

[Ender]

Did anyone else get Full Auto for free? They recredited my account the $2.42 because I cancelled the order, but then sent it anyway!
