My Fishing Reel Deals- Compilation of what I found

[fishinfanatic03]

I bought four initially and got the email that it was a mistake and that they'll honor one. One is better than none!

[CR Yaker]

Yup, they honoured only one per order. I put in two orders, I get two. Thanks for the the tip Fiskadora, let us know when it happens again.

Here is the email from Amazon.

Hello,

Amazon doesn't charge u till they ship the item.

[StinkyMatt]

Why would you be upset and give them some unkind words. Everyone knows that it was a mistake. If you got one, a very lucky break.



What's the "right" thing here?

What's the "right" thing here?

When I say unkind words, I may have exaggerated, I only let them know my displeasure in getting my hopes up with the first email and then dashing them. There is really nothing we can do or say here except that which I mentioned.
I would disagree with you kindly that everyone knew it was a mistake. I didn't, when placing the order. Only after the fact when Amazon notified us and said they would honor one reel per order and that they had made a pricing mistake. Only to later change their decision again to none.
This isn't some Bible camp decision here about "what is right". It's strictly about business and how a business conducts itself with it's customer.

[FishNinjaY]

I've overheard people talking about this Amazon price error deal at Sav-on Tackle, and again at Turner's another time. They must have lost TONS of money over this error. I say bravo Amazon for even honoring 1 of the reels. They could have just said "NO", and cancelled all of them. Seems like a fair response on their part, to me. Wish I caught it. Oh well..

Respectfully, have you ever read the fine print in most retail ads? Business have the right to limit quantities (and amount per household which is what sounds like what happened to many people here). They have the right to end a sale @ any time and usually there is a contingency caveat for mistakes like this .
Maybe it's because I know (a little) about the fishing industry, ...but with all due respect do you "seriously" think the cost of a Curado 300EJ IS $80? I knew it was a mistake as soon as it was posted! I ordered 3 but still feel fortunate to still have been allowed to buy one(I almost placed an order for 100 just to sell on ebay & make extra $ . With twitter, IMs and everything I'd hate to be the employee that was responsible for posting that ad, and the $ that Amazon lost. I'm sure SHIMANO didn't offer them a discount for the mistake that was made. SHIMANO will be busy trying to fulfill the extra quantity that Amazon sold and I'm sure SHIMANO had a say in the matter!.
Since I already have 2, If I wanted I could turn around and post on eBay and make a quick $125-150 easy.
Glass half full...I bought a Curado 300EJ FOR $80
JUST MY $.02

or i can i still get in .

[DanaPT]

Had two orders made on different days. They cancelled the first order... no explanation- just gone.

The 2nd order is still in the system.. no email about a mistake or whether that order will be filled.

not feeling so sure about this anymore.

[CR Yaker]

At least they, Amazon, are being consistent other than the email notifications. Also cancelled my first order, but the strange part was that I had another totally different item with the Curado ordered. Just wiped it away.
Let's hope they make good on one reel each, not holding my breath though. They will hear about my displeasure. Especially after the first email saying they would make good on one.
