Actually most places HAVE to honor their mistake, just like if you go in a retail store and see something in the wrong place, remember, "The cusomter, though maybe a snoody asshole, is always right"
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

Most websites have terms of use that specifically say they reserve the right to cancel orders for items where glitches cause items to be mispriced.

Yep, they will most likely cancel. But I have heard they give coupons to people who order errors like this, so I had nothing to lose.

Also, just got Mushroom Men The Spore Wars for wii, new 9.99.

OK, so I'm minding my business and just on the register at work when a lady comes in trying to trade in a few systems and games. It's normal enough so I pay her no extra attention as I'm processing her trade/testing her PS2 until she puts two Original Xboxes onto the counter with a stack of games 2 official controllers, 1 pelican wireless controller, 3 memory cards, DVD remote, Monster Cable S-Video cables and an official Xbox Live Chat Mic.

Well earlier in the morning I had bought one of those Uncharted Drake's fortune+DualShock 3 bundles for $60 - my employee discount and an extra $29 for trading in my Uncharted from the bundle with the $20 trade special. Anyhow, I ended up paying $17 for a new Controller with my employee discount and trade-in. (As many of you may know my PS3 is currently broken, so the controller was more a a purchase for the future as I've actually never owned a DualShock 3. GO SIXAXIS!)

So anyhow, as I saw all of the Xbox stuff piling up on the counter I started to make small talk after telling her that we couldn't take the Original Xbox stuff in, asking if she was upgrading to a new system an whatnot given that she was trading her PS2 in as well. Well it turns out that she had just received a PS3 for X-Mas and simply wanted to get rid of all her last gen stuff. Long story shortened to not as long as it already is: I traded her my new DualShock 3 for a bundle consisting of:

Hardware:
Two Original Xbox systems (One used but well maintained, and one in like new condition with what looks like only a few hours of use.)
One DVD remote.
2 Official Microsoft Xbox Controller S controllers. (One black, one clear blue.)
Three Memory Cards. (Two Official Microsoft Brand, one generic MadCatz brand.)
One Official Microsoft Xbox Live Chat Kit.
One Monster Cable Brand Xbox S-Video Cable.

Software All Complete and Mint Unless Noted:
Need for Speed Carbon
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Outlaw Volleyball
Outlaw Volleyball Red Hot
Need For Speed Underground 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Sega GT/JSRF Combo Disc
Sims 2
Driver 3 (Disc Only)

All for a DualShock 3 worth $17!

This is up there some of my all-time best deals ever!
My Consoles:
Genesis - Nomad - SegaCD - GameGear - Sega Saturn - Dreamcast - NES - SNES - N64 - Gamecube - Wii - Playstation - PSone & LCD - PS2 - PS3 - Xbox - 3DS
