And the drama continues........DON'T give up, folks ! We've got 'em by the short ones, and they know it.
My guess is most folks would simply cancel their order and call it a day. I'll bet that's what they were hoping for, anyway.
This outfit is aka Fantasia Trading LLC out of southern Kalifornia, I believe. Does it bother me that I've got them over a barrel ? Not one bit.

COOL! Just received the email from them stating that they will send me the unit that I purchased. In their email to me they state that the screen shot that I sent them was wrong, it was for another product..... Filite 160 LED Digital Camera CN-160 LED VIDEO LIGHT Ultra High Power / Camcorder , for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic, Sony, Leica , Samsung and Olympus Digital SLR Cameras..... was the product advertised and displayed with a photo showing the unit on the "New in stock" advertisement. Sounds to me that they have more of a problem than just their Amazon inventory "Glitch". Listed below is their email back to me: *********************************************************** Thank you for getting back to us. Actually the listing on the picture you sent in incorrect, please check the information under the seller information Laptopmate, the product under the listing you saw was for "Tenvis JPT3815W IPCAM Surveillance Cameras 3.6mm". And the new stock of this particular product is only a few pieces. Anyway, we just arranged one for you, wish you can get it very soon. Please feel free to contact us if there is anything else we can help. Sincerely, Customer Service Laptopmate *********************************************************** And again to CitizenPatroit, I want to thank you for the heads' up.

Your point is well taken, SuperDave, and I think I know where you're coming from. To each his own, I guess. I'll just go lay down by my bowl......

Dont feel bad CitizenPatriot, I, too, would have done the same thing. There is a practice called proof reading, and the price is probably the first thing one should check before listing something for sale.
I would have hopped on board for the cheap product - but I do not need it :)
Congrats on your steal of a deal! :)

In the interest of disclosure, I should mention that I earn my living in retail, which rather informs my attitude here.

I must admit that I was hopeful this deal would turn out to be "real", and placed my own order just in case. I've been thinking about buying something like this anyway. But when Apple at Laptopmate wrote to me asking to cancel the order, it was clear they made a major mistake and I told them to go ahead and cancel, and no need to send the conciliatory car charger...Ray

Reading through this thread, I was wondering if anyone was ever gonna say that. Glad to finally see a hint of ethics. I'll do biz with ya, SuperDave.

I worked at Best Buy a while back,and when they had a typo in their circular,they would just say it was a mistake and that was that!....There is no way I would have honored that Mistake!
