If you would I could use some info from ya. And I do understand this is only your opinion per say.
I buy chainsaw chain in 100' reels, I was in need of a few more. I usually deal with a company called Baileys Online outta California, no problems with them ever. Well, it was Cyber Monday and I had the notion to use Google Shopping to see if just maybe I could find a better deal on the chain than what Baileys typically charges. Normally a reel is right at $250. Well, I found a steal. Through Amazon they were selling reels for $0.22! Yes 22 cents for a 100' reel. I double checked a few times! It occured to me that maybe since it was Cyber Monday and the fact the chain was a safety type (has bumper links to help the idiots not cut off their leg) that this was a way of dumping some excess reels. I find that the seller on Amazon is Baileys. OK, so I purchase 9 reels for a cost of $1.98. With shipping it was just under $100. What a steal other than being safety chain. Well a few days later I get a call from Baileys saying they were cancelling the order since it was a mistake. Short and sweet and she tried to hang up. I told her mistake or not that was a legal sale and we could work something out or give me what I ordered for the price I bought it at. So the big question is, was that a legal sale and do they have to uphold that 22 cent price? I have all the emails and documentation with the price. Now, I don't want to stick it to 'em but would like to negotiate a discount on future orders if that price is what they have to sell it to me for. Any advice? Thanks!!
