Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii) for $4.51 shipped at Amazon.com. [DEAD.]

[DrAndonuts]

I'm sure it's a typo, but it's worth a shot:

http://www.amazon.com/Atlus-Software-TC700011-Trauma-Center/dp/B000GPW2QO/ref=sr_11_1/102-1799250-9489713?ie=UTF8

Came out to be 4.51 with standard shipping.

[TahoeMax]

heh, 2 cents? Nah. I'm gonna wait for the price drop

[icruise]

"You save 100%!" ;)

There is no chance of this going through. Not when there's so much time until it comes out.

[I AM WILLIAM H. MACY]

Free 3-day shipping with Amazon Prime!

Do I order?

[Admiral Ackbar]

Woot. Hopefully when they cancel we'll get a coupon.

[robbart914]

Is this a good deal? I need a second opinion.

[youbastards]

LOL, i am demo'ing the trial period of "Amazon Prime", so 2-day shipping is free!

Game + Two-Day Shipping = 2 cents!!! =)

Not that this deal will ever work... =(

[ChimpArmy]

No matter for two cents its worth a shot

[wampa8jedi]

We can dream...

[secretvampire]

Yep, worth a shot. That's MY TWO CENTS. Yes, that was bad.

[WhoKnowsWho]

I've never had a mistake happen and work for me. Maybe this time it will? Yeah right...

[Jimbo Slice]

Might as well try.

In for 1.

[hoofrog]

Somehow my order came out to $0.00. I credited me $4.51 in a "promotional certificate". Weird.

[Corvin]

Not a chance in hell.

<--- trying it anyway... lol

[SDC]

Hey, why the hell not? Here's hoping something good happens.

Edit: Somehow my order came out to $0.00. I credited me $4.51 in a "promotional certificate". Weird.

The same thing happened to me, and I realized that it was because I still hadn't used my $5 off promo coupon I got from the Platinum Evangelion Collection thing last year. I decided not to use my credit this time, though, 'cause I'm afraid they might not get it back to me after they inevitably kill my order.

[secretvampire]

Quick, somebody be a douche and order 99 to kill this. I'm sure it's already happened.

[djkunai]

This is "cutting" it close.

[Moses144]

In for one, hopefully something comes out of it.

[icecubedx5]

In! Thanks OP! I'm actually only hoping for a coupon or something for our troubles.

[superfuzz]

I'm in,should have ordered two!

[Michaellvortega]

in for 99, thanks OP you just got me a free Wii

[magikman]

Even if you order 999 of them , you still don't qualify for free shipping... LOL!

[Prepster]

Eh, why not. In for one, thanks OP :)

[MrX]

Hell of a deal if it works. A coupon would be nice though

[Ikohn4ever]

i am down for one

[Miranda]

heh, 2 cents? Nah. I'm gonna wait for the price drop

No need to do that...

Pre-Order Price Guarantee! Order now and if the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and release date, you'll receive the lowest price.

Hehe.

I doubt it'll ship, but I'm in for one anyway.

[magikman]

in for 99, thanks OP you just got me a free Wii How much are you going to pay for shipping?

[icecubedx5]

How much are you going to pay for shipping?

If you signed up for Amazon Prime free 3 month trial, that's 2-day shipping for FREE.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Please note: Pre-order Price Guarantee covers one or more item(s) in this order. If the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the release date, you'll receive the lowest price.

That's so good to know.

[Michaellvortega]

How much are you going to pay for shipping?

amazon prime

[gwaki]

Ordered

[shibbyshoo]

I bit the bullet. How do you get coupons out of this? Do I have to complain? haha

[DomLando]

In for one. WOrth a shot.

[SailorDaravon]

Placed an order. No way it'll ship at that price, but no harm in trying, might get a coupon or something.

[icecubedx5]

I think we should all order 100 (only $2.00) so we kill the deal before FW or SD does. Bound to happen anyway.

[Michaellvortega]

This isnt on fatwallet is it? Once they find it,it's dead.

[Technique]

I'm in for one. Might as well try!

[chronoboy]

Dont know if its going to work cause this is what it says on their website

Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

[Kerig]

In for one. 99.9% chance of them fixing this within 24 hours.

If this does manage to go through, I'll actually buy a DS Lite.

[kfkl]

used it as filling to reach 25 for free shipping. i wonder what will happen when they cancel? BEST FILLER EVER!

[neudog]

What are the typical coupons they email for this screw up?

[Scrubsy]

In for one. My guess is they will cancel and give us a certif. for $5 or something.

[Masterkyo]

Only Idiot & VERY STUPID People would post deal like this on FATWALLET.

[SDC]

In for one. 99.9% chance of them fixing this within 24 hours.

If this does manage to go through, I'll actually buy a DS Lite.

You are confused. TC: Second Opinion is a Wii game.

[Scorch]

Ordered.

[6669]

I gave it a shot.

[djkunai]

I just placed about 10 orders, some with other games, some without. Even if they cancel all, I'm hoping for 10 coupons. Woot!

[munch]

Ordered one. If it doesn't go through, I'm going to be super pissed. Expect at least 13 threads from me.

[PaulG]

What is this coupon people are talking about? Don't wanna even waste the effort to order, but if I could actually get something from it, I would.

In for one. 99.9% chance of them fixing this within 24 hours.

If this does manage to go through, I'll actually buy a DS Lite.

It's for the Wii.

[YoshiFan1]

No way this will be honored but in for one anyway. I hope they send us a gift certificate when they send out the apology that the order is cancelled e-mail

[Blade70]

This will not work.

[pinoy530]

No way this will be honored but in for one anyway. I hope they send us a gift certificate when they send out the apology that the order is cancelled e-mail

Amazon doesn't tend to give gift certificates out. Last time I just got a cancellation email.

[magikman]

In for one, and some other stuff I needed for the free shipping. W00t!

[SpazX]

In for 1,000!

Here's hoping I at least get a certificate, another $5 off my Wii preorder...

[Michaellvortega]

As long as they don't charge me full price and send me all 99 copies AFTER they send me price mistake email.

[Downhome]

Since the original price is so high and this is just about for free, then yeah, they more than likely wont honor the error.

However, with that said, it's not impossible. A while back Overstock.com had the ATL DVD listed at $0.00, and they actually shipped my order of ten.

I ordered one, yes just one, of these since it is a game that I'll be buying for my Wii anyway.

[gunm]

I'm in. Where's Shrike with the CAG State Secret banner?

[Supreme]

Placed an order, now to play the waiting game.

[Ugamer_X]

Don't expect a coupon when this is canceled. I had an order canceled because of a price mistake over a month ago and did not receive anything except for an apology.

[tholly]

Please note: Pre-order Price Guarantee covers one or more item(s) in this order. If the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the release date, you'll receive the lowest price.

That's so good to know.


At least that guarantees that I won't loose my $0.01 when it drops to $0.01.....

[trunks982]

i cant go to checkout

[Ecofreak]

Tried to order but wouldn't let me. Me thinks the deal is dead. =/

[Shmitty]

[icecubedx5]

LOL deal is dead. Pretty sure that dude Spaz above who ordered 1000 of them killed it.

[super d]

[silks]

It won't let me "Proceed to Checkout". Every time I click the button it returns me to the "In Your Cart" screen. I wonder if the jig is up...

[gunm]

yeah, they are already getting that out of the system so I'm guessing the cancelations will soon follow. Oh well, easy come, easy go...

[Dead of Knight]

It won't let me "Proceed to Checkout". Every time I click the button it returns me to the "In Your Cart" screen. I wonder if the jig is up...

Same for me. NOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[SpazX]

Mike

[Maxim726X]

Amazon is usually pretty good with honoring their pricing errors... right?

[KillerQueen87]

i got it through... hopefully no one was being an idiot and ordered 5 or 10 of them.

[Blade70]

Amazon is usually pretty good with honoring their pricing errors... right?

Not right.

[David85]

i got it through... hopefully no one was being an idiot and ordered 5 or 10 of them.


Yes because ordering 5-10 of these is whats really going to get Amazon's atension. :roll:

[djkunai]

Yuo are incorrect, sir.

[Bazz]

Son of A bitch I would have loved got this game that cheap. I can't believe I was on Cag all day didn't see this deal.

[gofishn]

Son of A bitch I would have loved got this game that cheap. I can't believe I was on Cag all day didn't see this deal.

Don't get too upset, Amazon never honors price mistakes.

[irishsoccermbw]

[pinoy530]

[Downhome]

I just got a cancellation email. Oh well.

[Ugamer_X]

Just got the same E-mail.

[shibbyshoo]

i got a cancellation email saying that they messed up on the price...no coupon, no nothin! looks like this deal is dead

[Blade70]

I just got cancellation e-mail :applause:

[gwaki]

I also just got my email. Damn

[Miranda]

Cancelled here too... was never expecting it to go through anyway.

[Corvin]

Just got the same E-mail.

Now see Fry's, that is how it's done. lol. Swift and quick, emails to everyone that bought it and all without promoting another deal.

[icecubedx5]

It was fun while it lasted.

[Apossum]

Just got my copy in the mail. Thanks OP!

[Downhome]

Ordered one. If it doesn't go through, I'm going to be super pissed. Expect at least 13 threads from me.

Alrighty then. :-P

[monstericreated]

Just got my copy in the mail. Thanks OP!

I giggled.

[KillerQueen87]

no e-mail for me....yet. i did however order it after it they took down the price, but I still had it in my cart from before. I added Castlevania:Portrait of Ruin (since I'll be getting anyway..) hit checkout... so far so good..

[6669]

I got the email :(

[super d]

thats false advertising if i'm correct

[Alandrafts]

Even if they don't offer a 'consolation' coupon in the email they're sending out, you might want to try sending a separate email to customer service, explaining that you bought the game it at the price advertised, it wasn't your error, this inconveniences you because now you have to find it elsewhere, and other stores do honor pricing mistakes. It won't hurt, either, to point out that you're a long-time customer (if that's the case). I find that Amazon usually won't offer any compensation off the bat, but will if you nudge them gently (and remind them of all the orders you've placed over the years) . . .

[KABUKISTAR]

Or, at least, bait and switch.

Currently, it's not showing any option for ordering.

[djkunai]

They bait and switched me- they're trying to charge me for a Phoenix Wright only.

On the phone right now.

Great, so they can't so anything because it's in the "shipping process".

They violated their own policy! If an item is supposed to be higher in price, they can (at their discretion) contact me to change shipping details or CANCEL THE ORDER (NOT THE ITEM- THE ORDER). Of course, they only cancel the item. Liars!

[MastaNinja]

I got the email. If anybody suceeds in keeping Amazon from cancelling, let us know.

[Scorch]

Got the email. Oh well.

[Weedy649]

officially canceled

[djkunai]

Just emailed this to Amazon after the bullshit "nothing we can do during the shipping phase" phone call.


In regards to my item:

Amazon.com violated its own policy.

In my mispriced item notice it says: "If we discover that
an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at
our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or
cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation."

I was not contacted about the item's status, NOR was my ordered cancelled. Instead the mispriced item was cancelled from the order, while the other item remained.

Since the item cancelled was a preordered item, the ship day was changed from 11/14/06 to 10/10/06. I am going to incur overdraft fees in my banking account, because Amazon.com illegally charged my account for an amount I DID NOT AGREE TO for only one item I DID NOT AGREE TO (there was supposed to be another item) on a date that I DID NOT AGREE TO.

This is bait-and-switch, and will be reported to the Better Business Bureau, and my attorney notified to take legal action against Amazon.com for violating the terms of original contract and its mispriced item policy.

Please reply immediately so we can reach a settlement about this issue that I am very, very upset with.

Seriously. They sent me the email "We'll either contact you about it or cancel the order" and then what do they do? Neither! They cancel one item (Trauma Center) and leave the other item (Phoenix Wright) on the order. So now, I'm being charged $35~ when I don't have the money ready in my account.

Of course, they said I can get a full refund after I get the item sent back to them, which is (of course) AFTER I get overdrafted.

Damnit Amazon.com you LIED.

stick it to the man, let me know if they reply, i wanan hear it

[DomLando]

Got the email to. Well it was worth a try.

[munch]

I got the e-mail. I'm pissed off. They should honor these mistakes even if they lose $49.97. I hate Amazon. I'm going to make a thread about it.

[pop311]

Just got the email, oh well.

[Corvin]

People are fighting this? Wow.

[David85]

thats false advertising if i'm correct

You're not.

[David85]

Please tell me you are kidding. You really think Amazon was going to sell a game for 2 cents? Are you that fucking dumb?

[trunks982]

man, i ordered devil summoner guide along with it. now its cancelled, i cant cancel my guide.

[moojuice]

How are some of you getting charged for Phoenix Wright?

[munch]

Please tell me you are kidding. You really think Amazon was going to sell a game for 2 cents? Are you that fucking dumb?

Maybe I should have use the sarcasm tags since a lot of things go way over people's heads these days, but yes, I was kidding. And I don't think I'm that fucking dumb. Maybe I am? Who knows?

[djkunai]

How are some of you getting charged for Phoenix Wright?


I bought Trauma Center 2nd Opinion and Phoenix Wright and put "ship together", so technically, if I don't get TC I shouldn't even be shipped Phoenix Wright. Either way, they're supposed to be sent out on Nov 14.

Instead of cancelling my whole order because of the price mistake (which is their policy) they cancel the one item with a price mistake, change the shipping date to today, and charge me over a month BEFORE the original agreed upon time.

[djkunai]

Replied with this:
Amazon.com violated it's own policy. After admitting a pricing error, Amazon.com deleted only ONE item (the mispriced item) from my order.

I then received the email regarding the policy on mispriced items on Amazon.com that said:
"If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation."

AMAZON.COM DID NOT FOLLOW ITS OWN POLICY.

Amazon.com neither "contact[ed]... for instructions before shipping" nor did they "cancel [my] order and notify of such cancellation."

This is bait-and-switch: Amazon.com had the item for presale, but then claimed a pricing error. Amazon.com then sold me the remaing item (which is much higher than the cost of the item Amazon.com cancelled).

Amazon.com has committed an act of bait-and-switch, and failure to follow its own policies that are viewed by its customers.

Now, my bank account is going to incur overdraft fees because of Amazon.com's use of bait-and-switch and failure to comply with its policies.

Simply claiming "we can't do anything because your order is in the shipping phase" is a terrible business practice, and coupled with the illegal act of bait-and-switch, I sincerely hope Amazon.com goes through EVERY order involving the presale of "Trauma Center: 2nd Opinion" at $.02 to make sure that its customers are aware that they are being charged without their knowledge over a month in advance.

This matter is STILL UNRESOLVED, and it will remain that way unless my bank account is not charged, my entire order, not just one "mispriced" item, is canceled, and every person who preordered the "mispriced" item and was deceived by Amazon.com purposely ignoring its own policies is notified and their arguments settled accordingly.

Please respond.

[munch]

I really think you're blowing this out of proportion. Amazon.com made a mistake, you knew they were and tried to take advantage of it like a bunch of other people did. You went once step further by ordering an extra item, which I'm assuming you really didn't want since you are raising such a huge fuss about it, and now you're mad because Amazon actually sent you an item you ordered.

I can completely understand you throwing a temper tantrum if Amazon.com didn't refund your money. The fact is that they are going to refund your money, shipping costs and all. Save your whining until something actually happens.

[Brian9824]

I really don't see that as being illegal. Just unclear. When they say If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation."


They are referring to an order placed that involves 1 item. They just don't explain how it works if you have multiple items in an order. In this case they followed their policy and cancelled the item that was mistakenly priced and didnt modify your order.

I mean on the flip side what if you had a rare item in your order and a price mistake item and because of the price mistake your entire order got deleted and you werent able to get the other item you ordered?


This is bait-and-switch: Amazon.com had the item for presale, but then claimed a pricing error. Amazon.com then sold me the remaing item (which is much higher than the cost of the item Amazon.com cancelled).



FYI That is NOT bait and switch since you chose to add it yourself. Amazon didnt substitute any items. They are simply mailing out the other item you ordered.

[secretvampire]

Agreed, it should just be assumed that deals like these will be canceled.

[Brian9824]

Oh FYI just send customer support an email saying how upset you are over the way you were treated, bla bla bla. Most of the time you will get a $5 credit to account. I just got one today over the FFXII CE Guide.
