Careful when Ordering Headline Matches Item

Headline on a clearance item at dickblick.com states: Xyron 900 Laminator

The clearance item is not a laminator.
The clearance item is for a replacement cartridge for an Xyron 900 laminator.

A search for Xyron Laminators on Google may bring up the dickblick.com ad at the top. The search I did brought up the ad that looks like it is for a laminator but it is for the cartridge replacement

When you click on an item headline, be sure it matches the actual item listed lower on the page where you add it to your cart.

I was in a hurry. I didn't know much about laminators. I thought it was a little machine for laminating. I know now the machine will cost me over $50 bills if I can find one on sale to match the replacement cartridge I now own.

For an additional chuckle, I told her husband I bought her a laminator as a gift. I called to tell him the package will arrive late because I didn't order it in time from a company that ships slow. Now I know why he was so surprised and pleased. He thought I bought a $70 bill good laminator. I am so glad I didn't have it shipped direct. To be sure I will buy the laminator.

Update: I was offered a discount on the laminator with a deadline for acceptance. I didn't opt to buy it even at the discount. An online search shows me I might be able to find one at a lower price.
Since I didn't accept the discounted laminator offer, DBlick sent me a coupon in the mail.
The misleading clearance ad has been changed. However, a search for the laminator still brings up the clearance item ad. The difference now is the actual machine, the laminator is listed with the replacement cartridges that are the actual items on clearance.
