Lucky me if you can believe it
 

I was looking all over the net for a shortwave tabletop radio and had
decided on a Sony ICF-SW7600GR. I looked at Amazon.com and saw many
places to buy but what caught my eye was a place( I'll tell you when
it comes whereI bought it), and they show a price of $39.95. Well I
say sure it is and keep looking. Well, it says NEW for $39.95 and they
have a 5 star rating. So I say what the hell, I buy it for the $39.95
plus 7 bucks shipping. I get confromation of purchase by email and a
shipping date. I look there today and the price is back to $149.00.
You think someone goofed and coded in the wrong price? They have to
honor the price so how lucky is that?

Good price but it's a portable not a tabletop radio.

I know.

They say it was Amazons error and they will refund the money I paid.
I argued with them but they won't budge. Sure Needs doesn't even have
a phone number. It takes 7 days to refund but the sure took the money
out of my account in minutes. It would be like me saying I'll take 5
bucks for an item on Ebay, getting paid then reversing myself saying i
put the wron amount on bid. You can't win with these guys.

Look in your phone book under Attorneys and phone one of them and tell
him (or her) about the problem.If you talk to an Attorney over the phone
for a couple of minutes,I don't think they will charge you any money.It
is the same thing as if you bought something at a physical store in your
area and after leaving the store,store personell came running out there
in the parking lot saying,Hold on there a minute,we sold (read that
agian,SOLD) you an item at too low a price.You have your receipt and
they can NOT do anything about it at all,the Law is on your side.I wish
it had been ME that paid (PAID) for that rado.I would just love (LOVE)
to see them try to get it back.I am not sue crazy and I have never tried
to sue (SUE) anybody before,but I would SUE! the HELL out of them!
cuhulin

At the very least,I would definetly tell Amazon or Sure
Needs,whichever,I am thinking about asking an Attorney (and y'all just
know how crooked those crooked greedy Attorneys are) about what are my
rights? I believe you would win.

Greetings from Sureneeds,
We regret to inform you that an error resulted in incorrect pricing on
April 18th for the item(s) you purchased from Sureneeds.com through
the Amazon.com website. We are unable to offer the item(s) for the
incorrectly posted price. This occurred due to a corrupted data feed
between Amazon and our self. Therefore, we have cancelled the item(s)
from your order xxx-xxxx-xxxxx and we have requested that a refund be
processed for the amount you were charged. This refund should be
processed within the next 7-10 days.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
If you have any further questions about this order, please contact us
at:

We value your business and hope that you will give us a chance to
serve you again in the future.
Sincerely,
Sureneeds

To get the radio at $39.95 you would probably have to sue and I'm not
sure you would win. I'm no lawyer, but I have to wonder if there isn't
some common sense rule that applies in situations like this. If it is
obvious to all that an honest mistake was made and the seller has
offered to make you whole (refunding all purchase costs) then you would
be in a position of having to show that you have been damaged by not
being able to buy the radio.

I told them that. Amazon gets the money and transfers it to Sureneeds
who in turn sends the product to you. Basicly Amazon sent them the
order for $39.00 and Sureneeds said screw this and kicked out the
orderand issues a refund. It sucks but they aren't Wal Mart who would
have smiled and said our tough luck.

It's not worth all that. I just can't believe you have to go the
Amazon route to buy this receiver or go through AES or Universal Radio
and pay top dollar at $154.00.

Usually Possession is said to be 9/10ths of the Law.

If you Receive the Item and Take Possession of It.
The Transaction is Complete and It is Yours.
( Unless You Give the Item Back. )
Then the Seller would have to Appeal the
Transaction to the Courts. {Not Likely}
.
If the Seller contacts the Shipper and the Shipper
Returns the Item to the Seller. Meaning that you
never 'physically take possession of the item'; and
the Seller Returns All Your Money to You. Then
the Transaction is Null and Void. You would have
to Appeal the Transaction to Amazon.Com or the
Courts. { Is It Worth It ? }

hope you have the radio in-your-hands soon ~ RHF

I still say the radio is legally yours.And if the radio shows up to

Paying thousands of dollars to sue over a $40.00 purchase is dumber

In America, you have to prove damages, and if they refund your
money in full, there are no damages. Suing would be a waste of
time.

I can tell you for certain now,the radio is legally yours.If you decide
to take them to Court, (I Definately Would!) hang on to all email
transactions (and all paper work too,if any) and make paper copies of
them.

Something about throwing good money after bad comes to mind there...

Have you tried J&R Music? They're reputable, and generally have good prices
on electronic stuff.

Never mind the retard behind the curtain there Ryan. Have you been looking
on Ebay at all? Sometimes a good deal can be had if you know what your
looking for.

There may be some other online stores that offer lower prices
(www.dogpile.com Sony 7600 GR Radios) (I think Lucky once suggested
Amazon,but you know what happened between Amazon and Sure Needs,they
Screwed up!) for those radios.I think you can't go wrong with
www.jr.com J&R Music Company.If it was me,I would buy from them.

I don't trust ebay at all.I prefer to buy from reputable stores and
Know! what I am buying,,, with a Warranty too.
