Is this price for Ballistix Tracer's too good?

DragonTattooz · Oct 25, 2005

The company is Mega Micro Devices. http://www.mmdus.com Have you ever heard of this company? I suppose that I can just use a credit card and if they screw me I will be covered.

They have the Ballistix Tracers for $269. I don't know if it's a typo, or what.

Here's the description:

BL2KIT12864L503

2GB KIT CRUCIAL BALLISTIX with LEDs DDR (1GBx2Pcs) PC4000 3-4-4-8 UNBUFFERED Non-ECC 500Mhz 2.8V 128Meg x 64. ORIGINAL MICRON/ CRUCIAL MEMORY. LIFETIME WARRANTY.

If this is for real, it's an absolute smokin' deal.

Well, at that price I just ordered 5 sets. I'm gonna sell 4 on eBay and make my money back. If it's a scam, I'm covered. Thanks Visa. :santa:

i dont see it on there.... mebbe they pulled it and are writing your "oops" email as you read this

would have been nice though

koontz946 · Oct 25, 2005

o nvm there it is... it doesnt show up under tracer though... this could be value ram i'm thinking

I've been to that site a dozen times in the last week or so. They are one of the 3 or 4 vendors on PriceWatch that have the Tracer's listed. I never saw the 2Gb kit listed on their site in the Ballistix section. I found it by putting the part number into the search box. Go to their home page and put in "BL2KIT12864L503". It's still there. :santa:

I hope this is for real...

I also went to the Crucial site and checked that part number. It is the number for the 2x1gb Tracers.

Hopefully they're the real thing lol.

I have to believe these are the real thing. Great price.

DocGiggs · Oct 25, 2005

showing up at $369 for me now.

DragonTattooz · Oct 25, 2005

Yup. It's showing up as $369 for me too. I wonder if they will honor that $269 price? I doubt it. I printed out the receipt, but they will just say they are out of stock.

I'll still take one set at $369, but not 5 sets. Damn, I knew that was too good to be true. :bang head

you never know. however, shame on you dragon for being so greedy. they might of pulled it because ordering 5 sets of anything throws up a huge red flag

EDIT: you might not catch my jealous sarcasm, so im just making it clear now..

after all, you DID find them yourself

Ya know, to be honest with you I had thought of that. But, after contemplating it I figured that if it was a mistake, they would catch it whether I ordered one set or five.

But, if the deal does go through, I was going to offer them at a discount to members here before putting them on eBay.

Does that get me some brownie points?

DocGiggs · Oct 25, 2005

If I had been awake at frikking 2am.. oh wait I was.. hacking, coughing, sneezing, and not sleeping but I was TRYING so that's the point. If I had not been trying to sleep at 2am I woulda jumped all over that at $269. $369 is cheaper then the price off crucials own website by about $30. However, there is plenty of cheaper memory sticks that will do all I want without all the fancy lights.

DragonTattooz · Oct 26, 2005

Quick update- I still have no order confirmation, nor any other kind of communication from this company about my order. :eh?:

DragonTattooz · Oct 26, 2005

Well, I just checked my order status and it's still showing as an active order. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck with that because the Micron 4Y -5BD chips are about the best thing in the world in terms of ICs short of Infineon's CE5 die

Here is what i think happened- some bimbo posted the @ cost price and didn't know that the company marked a hefty $100 profit on it.
In another word, Micron/crucial ripping you off.

Finally received an e-mail:

thanks for placing order with us.
we made critical TYPO error in updating pricing on this item. last week it was $399 and we changed it to $369 (as shown on the pricewatch.com). data entery made an error typing it as $269.00 instead of $369.00

we are sorry for that. if you still need this product at $369x5= $1845.00, we will be happy to processes it. and to compensate for our mistake we will throw in an attractive gift for free.

sorry again and thank you for understanding

ROFL

Sorry dude, that sucks! Kinda makes me wonder if you could have slipped through the cracks with just a single set...

Is this price for Ballistix Tracer's too good?
