200GB external drive @ eCost $0.42

[EXreaction]

First they were selling this for $0.58 and in the last few hours they have lowered the price.

The page loads pretty slow since digg is all over it...

I don't know what they are trying to do. They must know of the price(they were contacted by a few people already) and yet the price is actually getting less?

I ordered 10 and it cost me $17.59. I doubt it will go through, but the way the price is getting lower and they know about the mistake, I think they might be forced to honor it. Since supposedly it is illegal to do that.

Aww, for some reason my payment will not go thru!
"eCOST.com is unable to obtain a payment authorization for your order."
Tell us if this thing goes thru for you.

EDIT: HAHAHAH nvm, paid thru google checkout and it went thru. I accidentally bought 23 of them b/c i kept trying to re-order and they must have added up!!! LMAO
That would be awesome if in 2 days i recieved 23 drives!!! I would quit my job, and be in debt to EX forever.

Lol, I got an order confirmation by email sometime last night...

But the drives are on backorder now. And it is gone from their site.

Dear Valued eCOST.com Customer,

Due to a system pricing error that occurred this past weekend, the Beyond Micro 200GB Hard Drive (eCOST part number 3347822) was showing an incorrect price on our web site. As a result of this pricing error, your order for this product at the incorrect cost has been cancelled and your credit card will not be charged.

We got a 1 year platmium membership though which goes for 30$ i think though

Aww, well. Geuss i better go ask for my job back.
