No luck here. I tried a couple around Atlanta and they all checked with the website.

Gotta find yourself in a specific set of circumstances for it to go through.

similar experience here in Atlanta. They check the actual website.
 
Unless you have a pending order with Amazon, there's very little chance of success. Supervisors will check Amazon for pricing and availability.

Show them the Order Details through Amazon app on your phone and be polite but persistent. I was able to get a second one last night.
 
i really do wonder how that sale came about, if it was a mistake in the end or not.

we're still left with a cliff hanger,

and dang, getting 2x of them ! nice!

Man this thread makes me sad I didnt act quick when half asleep on this ,

I showed them the order details on my phone. Both the order confirmation page and the invoice page. It wasn't enough and they all had to cross-verify with Amazon's product page.

One employee actually searched for the Macbook model on Google for a list of prices and corresponding retailers.

Hopefully Amazon will ship it, but I'm starting to eye the touch bar model. Regardless, I find myself jealous of your luck. ;)

Is it not possible to make them accept it being that it is what was advertised?

Most of these retailers have policies in place for this sort of thing. Occasional mistakes are inevitable, and the potential losses are too high.

Are there any active links left? Or is the sale pretty much dead?

the link has been back up, it was off for a bit after the pricing glitch. They should be getting the non-touch in stock soon hopefully early this week.

Just got an email from Amazon stating that it was a pricing mistake but they are honoring the price for one item per customer. Sweet!

Hello,

We're contacting you about order #xxxxxxxx for Apple MacBook Pro MLL42LL/A 13-inch Laptop (2.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, 256GB Retina Display), Space Gray. We recently learned that an error caused this item to be displayed at an incorrect price.

This was our mistake, and we'll honor the incorrect price for one of the items you ordered. However, we're unable to honor the price for multiple quantities of this item. Therefore, we've adjusted the quantity of your order to 1.

We're sorry about this. At any given time, despite our best efforts, a small number of the millions of items on our site may be mispriced.

The correct price is listed on our website now, so if you'd like to place another order for more of this item, you can do so here:

Wooo hoo! I love Amazon!

I just got the same email! I only ordered 1 anyway but woohoo. $300 saved!
 
To the last three, had your ordered more than one and they cut you back to one. Or did you just order one and they said they were honoring one.

Edit: see someone only ordered one anyway.

I was really bored and just wanted to talk with the Amazon Customer representative. Please don't take the Lord's name in vein.

I hope I didn't ruin your day.

They have remarkable customer service. They also applied a $25.00 gift card to my account.

They also said they would make sure to cancel everyone else's orders for the MacBook Pro's promptly. (Kidding...)!

All joking aside, It will be interesting to see the successful orders.

Relentless power, had they cancelled yours after you called and they said it would be cancelled or did it survive? Or had you not ordered in the first place? Just curious.
 
Yeah just got the email too. Sweet! I thought they were going to cancel it. I only ordered one but wish I noticed the deal earlier and got the high end 15" for $2000.

Amazon never actually canceled my order. They said they would, but something must of changed. I only ordered one unit.
 
Did anyone from Canada attempt to buy it? What was the price you guys bought it for?
