MacConnection makes mistake on new iBook's price!

[ITASOR]

I just called MacConnection to order an iBook. As seen here:

http://www.macconnection.com/Brands/Apple/iBook.htm

They are selling the new model for $899. It's pretty clear that something is wrong so I called and they claim it's a mistake.

Everyone start calling and try getting it for that price!

It appears deliberate...

 

[emw]

... and misleading. Try finding an $899 iBook anywhere on the site. The lowest priced new one is $999, just like at Apple. I say call them and get it for $899.

Maybe MacConnection means the old cd-rom drive 12"? But I agree w/ emw, I still can't find it on the site...

Don't they always do that? I have seen them list prices that I'll be damned if they exist anywhere on their site.

From their "terms and conditions" page:

If an error is made and a product is listed at an incorrect price, we shall maintain the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed at the incorrect price. If the order has been confirmed and charged to your credit card, we shall immediately issue a credit in the amount of the incorrect price. Note: We also do not guarantee that our prices listed on other Web sites or price engines are accurate or up-to-date.

So they can suck you end with false pricing, then just "correct it" when you buy the product. I had problems with them when I ordered my iPod - I don't think I'd go through them again.
