While discussing that with a rep, they went in stock and out again, so. I’ll be filing a lawsuit against amazon, for allowing me to purchase the item, and then removing it from my order without my permission.

The checkout button constitutes a digital signature and agreement for purchase from me, nowhere was there any notice on their page of a reduced or minimal stock. No where on their page was there ANY indication that i couldn’t purchase it, hitting check out.

Sure, tehy didn’t charge me, but they never do til they ship. It doesn’t matter that it came immediately after i hit checkout. I spent 24 hours fighting to get one, never did, and that instant happiness, coupled with the massive depression afterwards watching my order get canceled the second it’s confirmed.. well.

The courts will interpret that as a violation of the UCC, because it doesn’t need to be willful or by intent, but just if marketing, advertising, etc. Is done so, phrased so, or otherwise given in a way that either cheats the customer, allows the customer to believe (within reason) something other than the truth is the truth, or any manipulative or deceptive marketing practices, then the company is still liable in the same way that they would be if it had been willful and deliberate.

So, I’m done with corporations treating us this way. I’ll be going to file a suit against amazon soon, and i’ll be defending myself in the matter, and I’ll be sure that this sort of behavior doesn’t persist, as they’re outwardly making all their customers suffer for their profit and the satisfaction of their resellers, who make a small fortune scalping products and reselling them apparently.

good thing I have screen shots of the broken order, with time stamp, showing the time right in between their consoles selling out, from their affiliate stock. They sure gonna have a hard time explaining away this one, with the evidence I got. 😉 At least that’ll keep me warm at target tonight.
