I'm thinking this isn't a scam since they quickly refunded my money, but am I missing something here?


A website clearly advertised a product for $x.xx price, and added $x.xx S&H to it.

So I add it to my cart, purchase it (via paypal). And wait for it to arrive.... Right?

Nope. Not even 1/2 hour later, I was refunded all my money... Ugh. Screenshots follow:

Original search didn't list their new "higher" priced listing: [ http://216treasures.com/search?q=bvm ]

Original older listing of item (i added to my cart and purchased): [ http://216treasures.com/products/sony-hr-trinitron-monitor-bvm-8021-8-inch-screen ]

New post with modified listing of the same item (with cover now): [ http://216treasures.com/products/sony-hr-trinitron-monitor-bvm-8021-8-inch-screen-1 ]

It's the same one they have listed on their eBay ad ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/152404613049?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT ):

The purchase... and refund:

Does the sticker/price tag law only apply for brick & mortar stores?

Can online business get away with this shit?!

I think it's pretty clear that the "item has been mispriced for both the item and shipping". I don't think there's any sort of scam... just that they mispriced, and aren't willing to send you something that's gonna cost them more to ship than the total you paid.

Just so you know that monitor doesn't have RGB inputs (not sure if you were gonna crack it open to try and connect to RGB)
