A spokesperson declined to specify whether an error was made, but said the tech goodies were unavailable in the retailer's brick-and-mortar stores and are "no longer available" online. She also couldn't immediately comment on whether people who swooped in on the pre-holiday snafu would be able to buy the monitors at the specified prices.

i swear i better get my shit...

Dammit! I was so close to getting the 40" version of that Samsung TV for $329. Not as good a deal as the 55" for that price, but still pretty good as it retails for ~$700. Got all the way to the choose shipment screen but then got an error and now it's saying the item is unavailable.

So close...

Palmer_v1 finds it 'reprehensible' how he never acts quickly enough to take advantage of a scam.

Palmer_v1 said:
Reprehensible, the way people act. The douchiest thing is leaving carts full of food in the aisles after the scam stopped working.

Could the people who knowingly went beyond their normal limit be charged with anything, even if Wal-mart wanted to? Fraud, etc.

I doubt they would pursue any action though due to the likely demographics and potential backlash.

You know it's very shameful that people did this. You know they knew what they had left. I can understand the need for food stamps but don't abuse the damn system. Have some damn self respect.

Those people should really be ashamed of themselves for trying to cheat the system like that. You can see it too from the videos or people pushing carts around with buddies etc hanging off them. You can see that they're blatantly just trying to cheat the system and they don't give a damn that they are. You can see that they have no remorse at all.

1) difference is walmart could legally say price is wrong, sale canceled.

2) I and others are buying with our money, not limited food stamp cards.

3) I am using my money, those EBT users are using my money to steal. :)

now if I was buying this stuff with welfare card, you may have a point and I regret nothing

Some stores (including Amazon if I'm not mistaken) have been known to honor some orders made with an unusually low price (due to their own mistake), even though they had no legal obligation to do so. Since both parties consented to the exchange and the goods weren't paid with welfare stamps/currency, I don't see how you could call that theft. It's a private matter. Food stamps, by definitions, are financed by theft, also known as taxation.

and as I pointed unlike bad PR for not allowing food stamp users to not steal their food. they can easily cancel orders on this mess.

when I go to a walmart and my credit card can't go thru because of government system went down and they allow me to buy whatever I want and leave with it, then everyone is on par with those users. trying to equate this to that is ridiculous.

The jig is up yall. Someone at Wal-Mart woke the fuck up and realized what was happening.

so all the prices were corrected. will they honor those that already purchased? stay tuned.
Click to expand...

Most of them will be refunded (due to price system error) I imagine. They legally can't charge you the actual price, if you purchased it at the fake lower one, but they have no legal obligation to honor those lower prices either.

anyone who picked up in store got lucky:

“Walmart cannot confirm the price of an item until after your order is placed. Pricing errors may occur on the Walmart Sites or through Walmart Marketplace retailers. Walmart reserves the right to cancel any orders containing pricing errors, with no further obligations to you, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice from Walmart. Walmart may, at its discretion, either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Pricing for products may be different on the Walmart Sites or from prices available in Walmart stores or on Walmart mobile applications (pricing and availability remain subject to confirmation at checkout for mobile users).”

What does that have to do with what he was responding to? You claimed those awful poor people were using your money to steal.
