In the fine print, does it say anything along the lines of "Prices subject to change without notice?"

This morning Egg had x6800 stock at 1149 and was considering it, an hour later rechecked, already out-of-stock and cost reset to 1255 :bang head :bang head so I clicked for Live Web Chat talked to them, said this was price gouging and would lose me as a customer, requested price from one hour prior.... DENIED... told price just reflects their cost (went UP after they ran OUT?) :mad: :mad: So basically Egg just lost a long time customer. On the other hand, Tank Guys listed x6800 preorder @ 1029 so click, done :) :)
