Looks to be a typo confirmed.

They are even giving a "day box". WTF is that?

Hahaha... so the most important question is...

Are they really putting this up for balloting @ $868 or it's purely a typo? Sales tactics to draw crowd? Albeit angry and pissed off customers?
 

Conclusion: Limited sets up for balloting are like the FT10. No indication of E-M5 being a limited set so likely the price is supposed to be $1868 and thus, in-line with their usual pricing.

So... No deal.

Sorry to dash your dreams, bros.
 

HELLO!!! Its a typo. They are not honouring it. So stop killing yourselves over it. They are selling at $1888.
 

did they pay you transport fee???

No no no, I'm not there. Just examine the way the ad is put forth. So much stress is placed on the FT10 and MV800 being LIMITED.

Look at it again, now back at me.

No mention of limited stock for E-M5. Something specially priced like this should be rightfully a star buy at this time when a camera price like NEX-7 gets constantly sold out.

This should be a main feature of the whole roadshow, a crowd puller, something you want to wham and bang into people's mind that this is what they want and they better come down today or else their mothers will disown them and they will be banned for life from ClubSnap.

Definitely not some shabby afterthough corner slice-of-info take-it-or-leave-it ad.

I'm on a horse.

Because the way you put it as if like you were there and rejected by them... will wait and see what other bros say when they come back from the show...

They put the price big big on today's paper I think they have to sell at least 2 sets to honour "Limited sets" for $868... I think typo is not an excuse loh... what is losing a little $$$ for such a big company than not honouring its ad....

LOL... not BIG enough. :P

Was Best Denki known to honour price and were there pricing errors in the past?
 

Called them up.

Pricing error.

Now in damage control mode.
 

Actually even if its pricing error, the mere fact that they advertise on papers puts them on a liability to honor the purchase, no?

This is a potential CASE situation if consumers are to pursue, since this is false advertising, albeit an error on their part.

Sidetrack a lil, I pity the person who made this mistake, must have been facing from both Olympus and consumers now...

yep someone might get sued here either Best Denki or the printing company :-)
 

They can just say "SOLD OUT!"
 

And I want the DAYBOX (whatever it is) :bsmilie:
