[amazon] ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU $175---expired - Page 8

There's more to this story.

Now its not listed on their website as an amazon seller. It's not a pricing mistake. It's a "mistake that you shouldn't sell products you don't know you'll get"

I think Amazon thought they were getting shipment, but then something fell through and now they are getting none. Calling it a pricing mistake "lets them off the hook"....

I placed an order on August 6th too, and I didn't receive it til a few days ago. AND THEN, the card crapped out on me at 860 core, which is a pretty mild overclock for this card. I requested an exchange yesterday and reordered and they canceled my order too. And so I called in just now and was told they would be out of stock indefinitely.

On an off-topic note, I bought a box set on July 26, and apparently they still have yet to get stock? o.0 Still hasn't been canceled, though.

I just got off the phone with amazon customer support and they told me that they had to pull the product because of the "pricing error" and therefore they will no longer be selling the product. So then I asked if they would be able to sell me a comparable product that is offered by amazon for the same price that they were selling the Asus gtx460 for and they basically told me that they can't do that and I'm just out of luck.

Thanks a lot amazon, looks like I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

Edit: I called again and spoke to a supervisor and he gave me $20 off my next purchase (has to be shipped and sold by amazon) for the inconvenience that this caused. So I'm just going to order a different GTX460 and get $20 off of that.

Hope I'm not inconveniencing anybody by bumping this thread again, but I just wanted to share what kind of feedback I left for the service representative I talked to for an hour two days ago.

Quote:
Talking with this service representative is why I just made a recent purchase through a seller on eBay, rather than give Amazon any money.

Sam had the guise of somebody who was concerned about my future buying things from Amazon, but he soon revealed his true intentions by trying to convince me to make a purchase through Amazon to a third-party seller who was selling the item for almost $100 more than what Amazon was once offering it for. Why do that when I could buy the item for less straight from another reputable site, instead of having to deal with two companies plus higher costs?

Being part of Amazon Prime with its benefit of free two-day shipping doesn't mean anything to me if people like Sam, who represent Amazon's customer service, try to make their customers stick with purchasing through Amazon through illogical means and an attitude that makes it obvious that they don't truly care about the customer's happiness.
It truly was a frustrating experience, and unless Amazon has any really good unique sales from now on, I doubt I'll be using them very much from now on.

It's listed from a merchant called TOP BAZAAR STORE for 204.58 right now. However, I couldn't find any information about the retailer and it's main website is down so I don't plan on buying it. It seems kinda shady, but if anyone wants to take the risk, this is a heads up.

Edit: Whoops, looks like someone purchased it while I was typing this post.

Sorry to bump a dead thread but wanted to add an update. After amazon canceled 4 months of orders on 3 different sales telling some they wouldnt carry this product the product is still being sold on the site. Ive seen it go from $240 - $250 - $260 as it continues to sell.
After all those people got screwed out of their sale prices there was about 33 reviews left on this card from various people stating their unhappiness with amazon. WELL those 30+ reviews have now vanished.
So now not only have they screwed people out of the sale pricing, lied to to some about ever carrying the product again. Now you can add hand selecting reviews to fit their needs to the list.
F$%& amazon!

The reason why it's still being sold on Amazon is because of all those third-party sellers. It's not being sold by Amazon anymore, it's being sold through Amazon instead.

Here's a straight link to the card for those who don't want to manually hunt it down:
