Bought a set of these this morning...for $112 bucks. 3-pw...as you see by the link The Golf Warehouse realized what was happening and yanked it.

But not before 5 of my buddies and I bought a set...some multiples. I just bought one because I own a set of Ping-Eye 2 black dots from the early 90s. Thought I was due and $112 bucks is nothing for a set.

It went viral on DealNews.com

Oh...and you can get 2 entrees for $10bucks at Pei Wei today... (their 10th anneversary)

Wow...that is a deal....I guess they have to honor it huh?

I just bought a set of Taylor Made Burners last week for $225. It was between that or the old R7's that were the same price. The R7's were graphite shafts and I have never played with them so I decided on the Burners.

Enjoy those clubs........heck of a deal.

Rumor is that they won't honor the deal. It would probably put TGW out of business. Mistake is a mistake and people shouldn't be destroyed over it. So if it happens...it happens, but I'm not going to whine about it.

Yea more then likely they will Welch on that deal. Still I'm not sure if they can and not face some kind of punishment. If someone wanted to be a dick that is a bait and switch.

It's not a bait and switch it's an honest mistake.

Of course there are a number of assholes out there that will whine, bitch and moan to everyone in the world that Golf Warehouse not honoring the price is the worst thing to ever happen to them ever and will go to the Attorney General about it.

The amount of people that feel that a misprint becomes their divine right would astound you.

Well, maybe not.

The ones that get me are the ones that scour the internet till they find some 3rd party website that has the price lower and then swear that we have to honor that price.

Yes but how do you prove that. Some people are not gonna want to give a good deal up.

Bait and switch is obvious and nefarious. It involves taking someone's money and holding it hostage until the customer changes to the product of the retailer's choosing. If it's obvious there are no bad intentions (we'll usually offer a hefty discount on another product and/or an immediate refund), the customer's just being a dick. Same thing with unexpected backorders.

If I'm offering an immediate refund with a good discount on any other product or the ability to go about your merry way, not sure how anyone could really call a "bait and switch" unless they're being a 3 year old.

Some people accept it, some people throw a temper tantrum to try and get their way (make this almost all if they are a baby boomer).

We do what's fair, but funny enough we are not required by law or even by "good customer service" to take a hefty loss on a transaction. And yes I realize selling a product at a sizable loss would "make you happy."

("you" being the customer in general)

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
