[Psychotron]

I just ordered one!
thanks for posting this g0dM@n:beer:

[BossBorot]

been staring at the buy now screen for awhile now. To bad the APDC2008 code doesnt work :(

[satandole666]

I'm glad I don't have $213 in my paypal right now...or am I?

[BossBorot]

I put it in we will see what happens with the order now

[rainless]

What are these things usually priced at?

[satandole666]

Cheapest one on the egg is $280. The HIS model is $290.

[BossBorot]

live gives 5% off in case anyone else wants to pick one up. I seriously think this is a price error as it shows up as 279 after rebate on the main page

still worth a shot in my opinion. too bad i didn't try the live.com as well. i've never used live.com. do they give for most of the big e-vendors? i should just use live.com all the time, right?

[BossBorot]

ya

[g0dM@n]

ya

btw, i built an e7200 stock system for my friend with a 4850. pretty snappy even at stock. impressive. :)

i've a strong feeling this will be canceled, but if not, i am one happy camper!! this will solve my mind-boggling issue with my video card situation. :)

[BossBorot]

I think it has a high chance of getting canceled but its no skin off my back if it does as this card is dipping into my precious black friday funds. If it does go through though Ill have to slap my extra S1 w/ 2 120mm fans on it and may just have to bump my cpu up to 4.275ghz for some killer gaming fun

you actually sleep outside for BF? i never have... i'd rather work overtime!! :D

we'll see how far this gets tomorrow afternoon:

[Psychotron]

Hope this doesnt get cancelled.

[BossBorot]

you actually sleep outside for BF? i never have... i'd rather work overtime!! :D

we'll see how far this gets tomorrow afternoon:

I have never slept but yes I say there for 12+ hours. Each time Ive done it I made more then $200 from selling coupons alone. I usually use black friday to have backup parts that I either use for awhile or sell in the comming year. Every item that I have bought and then sold later I have also made profit on too.

Basically as a college student that doesnt go home for thanksgiving its the best thing I can do with my time and helps keep my systems up to date either through new parts or cash from selling them. Plus it can be fun believe it or not.

[g0dM@n]

i've a very strong feeling they'll be canceled. but it's okay. it's kind of like high school when you start talking to a beautiful chic and then all of a sudden she realized you're a loser and walks away. but... when you try 10 times, you'll get one chic that doesn't walk away.

that's what i think of these supposed "misprice" errors. :) sometimes she stays with me!!! :)

that's how i've been with my girl 4 yrs now, but i doubt i could hold onto a video card that long - more like 4 months. :)

you're that far away from home? :(

you sell the coupons outside during BF, you scalper!!!

[BossBorot]

I go to school at SCU in silicon valley and my parents are in federal way washington which is a 13 hour or so drive. Not to far away but not really worth going home for 4 days when school gets out only 2 weeks after for christmas

And yes I sell coupons to the people who show up 1 hour before best buy opens expecting to get the $200 laptop. Also ive gotten free thanksgiving dinner both times ive been in line by just being nice to people in line near me

I could send you a turkey for free if you want... but it may be made of rubber. :)

"Oh boy, you are such a darling. Why don't you come over to my home for Thanksgiving dinner." <squeezes BossBorot's cheeks>

[Shiggity]

Now that is a SLICKdeal

sweet find godman, you always finding all the tight sh it ;)

[Big Mike]

*fingers crossed* in for one!

[updawg]

I want to buy this but I have no money..... good luck to those who ordered!

[Vengance_01]

In for one. 229$ after tax for me. So with the rebate close to 200$. If the 4870 drops to this price, the 4850 is just not worth considering the required after market cooler.
Now I need to sell my 4850 with nice heatsink.

[WonderingSoul]

This is on the top of my "NEED TO RESIST LIST"

Possibly early birthday present? :x

[Vengance_01]

This is on the top of my "NEED TO RESIST LIST"

Possibly early birthday present? :x Just get it. Its a huge step up over your 3870 card. :santa2:

[penixor]

Just ordered one ill let you guys know what happens with my order.

[Psychotron]

So Far So Good!!

[d94]

damn...thats tempting, too bad i havent really been messing with desktops in soo long

[dealmaster]

I called them, this price is correct. Now I need to decide if I should get 2 of these or a 4870X2 for gaming at 1920x1200. This is about $100 cheaper. Ugh.

[Big Mike]

Wow, if this price is right I smell an even bigger graphics war coming...

[Janus67]

Times like this make me wish that ATI had a stepup program like evga.

[HousERaT]

live.com doesn't work. It doesn't give you the option to pay with paypal.

[dealmaster]

What do you guys think, are a couple of these going to handle 1920x1200 gaming for the foreseeable future? I just can't make the decision and need help!

[g0dM@n]

I called them, this price is correct. Now I need to decide if I should get 2 of these or a 4870X2 for gaming at 1920x1200. This is about $100 cheaper. Ugh.

You should never call. :) You know... I was wondering why ATI doesn't have a 1GB or 768mb (I don't know if they'd do odd # like nV) flavor for any of the 4000 series but the 4870x2. I feel like they may come out with one, but I wonder what the reason is that they only have 512mb right now.

[Big Mike]

spoken like a true sd'er, lol

[Vengance_01]

deal is dead. Back to 279$. I got my order just in time.

[g0dM@n]

spoken like a true sd'er, lol

I'm all over that site... it's the main reason I have 230582 things that I don't need. :)

[Big Mike]

I'm all over that site... it's the main reason I have 230582 things that I don't need. :)
It's definately a blessing and a curse. I can't wait for black friday season to start....

[HousERaT]

link is dead now.

[HousERaT]

EWiz strikes again:

"Dear loyal Newbiiz customers,



On behalf of the Newbiiz staff, we apologize for an unfortunate system error that occurred on the evening of (08/14/08). The pricing for the HIS ATI Radeon 4870 (Item # HIS-4870) was mistakenly set at $213.13 on Pricewatch. This price is intended to be for the 4850 model and has since been corrected in our system."

[Vengance_01]

NOOOOOO!!!! So far my order has not been canceled. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[HousERaT]

what ****** would think a 4850 for $213.13 is a deal? :(

[Big Mike]

My order status is canceled on the site, I never got any emails though. A 4850 for 213 and 20 dollar MIR FAILS HARD. Actually looking at the rebate form there isn't even a rebate on the 4850!

[Vengance_01]

mines not, but I am sure it will be soon. This sucks.

[HousERaT]

they might actually send some out but most people will get canceled.

[patriotdb23]

Wow that was an incredible deal... I am going to just keep $200.00 ready at all times to bite on deals like these...

[Vengance_01]

mine is still processing.

[Vengance_01]

mine was canceled. :(

[Psychotron]

well my ordered got cancelled.

:shrug:

[Big Mike]

Yeah I call shenanigans, I think they just did it to get attention to the new site.

[HousERaT]

Hit reseller ratings like others have already done. Apparently Ewiz or whatever they call themselves this week has a reputation for doing this.

[patriotdb23]

I'm going to put 2 and 2 together here and use both of what you guys said. For Instance, maybe they do deals like this where they mark the price down to a ridiculous amount to get people to check it out and then cancel on everybody... Hope they realize this isn't going to help them in the long run if it's true and instead should probably take notes from Newegg.com's honesty to customers.:attn:

[Big Mike]

Yeah I just let them have it on RR

[DEZMOND]

Thank all the idiots who called them.

[Aktunka]

Cancelled mine too =(

I can understand if they made a mistake, but to then blatantly lie and say that was supposed to be the price for the 4850? The 4850 regular price was $189.22, so they would have us believe that they meant to update the price for the 4850 by ADDING $24? Come on! Give us a break.

[patriotdb23]

That sucks.. so did anyone actually get one of these???

[traldan]

Hit reseller ratings like others have already done. Apparently Ewiz or whatever they call themselves this week has a reputation for doing this.

Although, last time (or one of the last times) this happened, an ewiz rep came here on OCF to apologize personally for typing in the price wrong in the system. I was impressed with that.

[NoL]

You can always tell them your now filing a suit against them, for bait and switch.

[g0dM@n]

Thank all the idiots who called them.

I agree with this as well. No PERSONAL offense to anyone, but truly you're stupid if you call. That's the rule of thumb these days and ppl are still dumb enough to make the damn call... it cracks me up. If they screw up, it doesn't mean they could bait & switch my @$s... if they screw up, they can cancel the order. No one should have to call to confirm. Either order it by taking the chance, or don't... it's not like they can LEGALLY charge someone and NOT ship the product.

Either way, ewiz is a piece of junk company for that BLATANT lie that this was a 4850 price. No website out there (other than the dumb ones that make no $$) have a 4850 priced at a RIPOFF PRICE of $213.

[BossBorot]

after reading around this appears to be a bait perpously placed to drive traffic to their site in hope to sell other products.

if you noticed earlier the product name had [pw] in its title and was not searchable on their website. It appears as if they made this item only viewable to price watch in order to get you to go to their website and hopefully order more then one thing. It seems as if this low price was placed on purpose and not a price error at all.

I am not mad that they canceled my order at all, however I am extremely mad at them for doing this. It would appear that ewiz is purposely engaging in planting these low prices in price watch on multiple items not just this card. I used to like ewiz but I will never buy from them again if this is true. Due to this I hit them with negative feedback on reseller ratings. Normally I wouldnt for a price error cancelation but there appears to be something esle going on here.

[CaptainMorgan89]

Hi all you OCF'ers,

Being a member over at [H] Forums and Pcper, I saw that all you guys were tricked into this eWiz scheme.

Just letting you know that you can do something about it, review them at http://www.resellerratings.com/store/eWiz!

I guess they do this at least once a month on hot items, I find it despicable!

So far we've gotten them down from 9.5 to 8.7, if your as ****ed at this bait and switch tatic as I am, do something about it!


I hate when company's think they can get away with this bull!

:welcome:

Thanks for pointing that out, there are many of us here who frequent these forums I'm sure that don't know about resellerratings, and those of us that do forget!


Good first post! :beer:

[muddocktor]

Boy, that Newbiz/Ewiz bunch are some lying sacks of s***, that's for sure. :mad: If you go on their website this morning and look up the HIS 4850 (what they are claiming was the pricing error with:rolleyes: ), it is showing as selling for $189.22 and not the $213 and change they were claiming.

CaptainMorgan89 is right; all you folks that ordered one of these and had them cancel on you really need to go to Resellerratings.com and nail their ass to the cross over this. And you can rate them, since they originally accepted your order and gave you an invoice number. If you rated the store in the past, you can update your rating of the bastiches too and give them the big thumbs down. Also, it wouldn't hurt to go into the RR forums and start a thread about these shenanigans if there isn't already one going on about this.

[WonderingSoul]

Not to mention you can file a formal complaint with the better business bureau.

[rainless]

I don't even LIKE ATI... but I feel bad for you guys so I'll jump on RR and vote. :beer:

EDIT: Well apparently you have to have actually ordered something from them to vote...

Like THAT's gonna happen. :p

[g0dM@n]

so i tried submitting a review, but i see NO OPTION to rate it between 1 and 10. all it asks for is invoice # and a review. what the heck.

[ratbuddy]

so i tried submitting a review, but i see NO OPTION to rate it between 1 and 10. all it asks for is invoice # and a review. what the heck.

After you write the review it gives you a bunch of 'poor fair good great orgasm' scale things to rate, I'm guessing it pulls the numeric score from those.

[g0dM@n]

it just said "thanks" or something along those lines. I didn't get any other options. :(

[updawg]

I read on slickdeals they filed a price error with reseller ratings so they can't take a hit with poor evals.

[ratbuddy]

Well, I'm not going to buy anything from them. Ever. Don't care how good a deal it looks like. They're just a step above a Brooklyn camera shop IMHO, and I'll tell it to anyone who listens. If we all do that, they will definitely feel it in the pocketbook, more so than they would have if they had simply sold those cards at a (minor) loss. The good press from such a sale would have been priceless..

[Brolloks]

This sounds like the same trick Dell pulled last year with the 8800GT 512:screwy:

brolloks is on the right track. as i recall it was the 3850 for dick cheap. This is bait for sure.

and for the rep apologizing come on.

[muddocktor]

The rep apologizing was before ewiz got bought out by the newbiz bunch of yahoos.

Vote with your wallet and shop elsewhere.

[WonderingSoul]

This sounds like the same trick Dell pulled last year with the 8800GT 512:screwy:

I remember getting screwed by them. The MSIs for something like $200 or so shipped. Because if it whenever anyone asks me about laptops I tell them to avoid Dell like the plague.

[g0dM@n]

I read on slickdeals they filed a price error with reseller ratings so they can't take a hit with poor evals.

could you link us? that's SUCH BS!

[Big Mike]

Well the price is gonna get this low sometime in the nar future, the egg has a visiontek 4870 for 255 w/ 20 dollar MIR on special today.

[dealmaster]

I agree with this as well. No PERSONAL offense to anyone, but truly you're stupid if you call. That's the rule of thumb these days and ppl are still dumb enough to make the damn call... it cracks me up.

Either order it by taking the chance, or don't... it's not like they can LEGALLY charge someone and NOT ship the product.

This may be true, but I don't want to get charged and have to wait for a refund to come back to my card. And it's not like they were going to accidentally ship out hundreds of cards at an incorrect price, it would have been caught with or without the calls. So no, you're not truly stupid if you call, because I called and I wanted to avoid a situation of having to wait for a refund to come back to my card.

[Psychotron]

Well the price is gonna get this low sometime in the nar future, the egg has a visiontek 4870 for 255 w/ 20 dollar MIR on special today.

I paid $284.99 for mine. It dropped $30 and I havent even received the card.

[g0dM@n]

Well the price is gonna get this low sometime in the nar future, the egg has a visiontek 4870 for 255 w/ 20 dollar MIR on special today.

It's $235 after rebate and after coupon code EMCAJBKAB right now.

This may be true, but I don't want to get charged and have to wait for a refund to come back to my card. And it's not like they were going to accidentally ship out hundreds of cards at an incorrect price, it would have been caught with or without the calls. So no, you're not truly stupid if you call, because I called and I wanted to avoid a situation of having to wait for a refund to come back to my card.

Well I guess with a piece of junk company like newbiiz, you're right. Now if it was Dell on the other hand, you should never call. A big company like that will not play games with your money.

[mista ting]

guys its still at 213$... is it really that price now?

[BossBorot]

gonna try again just to see what happens :sn:

[ratbuddy]

Those weasels did get resellerratings to cave in. These numbers were MUCH lower a couple days ago, and the only new reviews have been negative. I think whatever small bit of trust I had for resellerratings is now completely gone.

Thats pretty much Bull sheet. In that case we should all bomb them with e-mail and complain about it. So much for a honest place to check reviews.

[g0dM@n]

Let's all just assume resellerratings gets paid off. Why else would they GIVE IN to sh*tbiz.

I'm sure they've lost a ton of customers as a LOT of people know about this SCANDAL!!

[BossBorot]

gonna try again just to see what happens :sn:

.... it shipped no joke

suck on that ewiz

[Breakin Newz]

.... it shipped no joke

suck on that ewiz

So did you get it? Im confused... :screwy:

[BossBorot]

my first order was canceled like everyone elses. However they left the "price error" item up on their site till today. I ordered again on the 20th just to see what would happen and it just shipped so I guess I got it. Ill let everone know if its a 4850 like they said or if they where just lying out of their a$$

[g0dM@n]

good work boss!!! keep us posted. :D

[Breakin Newz]

Well hopefully u get what you ordered lol!

[BossBorot]

Im deff getting something now not only their site shows shipped but the tracking order returns info now. Looks like ill get it on monday

[vixro]

Im deff getting something now not only their site shows shipped but the tracking order returns info now. Looks like ill get it on monday

Incoming 4850.

[ScottinIndy]

Well the invoice/order sheet clearly states 4870, If you get something else I think you have a pretty solid case if you have to fight them over it. I think you will get the 4870, Nice deal!!!:beer:

[g0dM@n]

boss, what did you do to get that to work? when did you reorder after your cancellation??

[BossBorot]

I keep following the thread to find out how the reseller rattings issue panned out and it was mentioned that the link was still alive. I put in another order so that I could file another negative rating pointing out their shady ranking reset but the order went through oddly enough. They had more then enough time to kill the link, looking back I ordered 5 days after my first order was canceled with the same link used for both orders.

After doing more poking around it looks like I am getting a 4870 which is good for me and them. They wouldnt want to see the wrath I would bring if they shipped me a 4850 instead. I think its a 4870 baised on the wieght of the package. On their site the 4870 is listed as 4 pounds where as the 4850 is 3, my package is listed at 4.1 pounds in the tracking link.

[g0dM@n]

Damn, Boss... you are a lucky man. I am dying for a good solution for me as far as a video card b/c I'm unemployed and want a card that's going to LAST. For that reason, I went with the current 9800GX2 deal, which after live.com and a rebate will cost me about $220 from TigerDirect.

I'm still thinking about canceling as I'm afraid of the so-called STUTTERING problem and since I like to play high AA/AF in Team Fortress 2.

I surely hope it was a good decision, but I would have still taken this 4870 @ $193 if I could have.

[hank123]

If you do get a 4850 then call them up and say WTF i ordered a 4870 and make them replace it.
They should pay for shipping in that case.

[BossBorot]
