I also own one and love it!

My order from Target was canceled too. I don't think $249 at baby center is much of a deal though. Albee baby has two floral patterns at $195 and a couple of others at $209. This is nowhere near as hot as what could have been at Target though.

For people who actually need one of these, I just bought one from eBay at $199 - 25% Live Cash Back brand new in box with Free Shipping and no tax, so $150 total. It already arrived and is, in fact, new. My oldest daughter has one and we just got this one for our 6-month old. They are simply THE BEST car seats on the market. The difference between a Britax and a cheap one at Wal-Mart is like the difference between a Bentley and a Kia.

Here's the seller I used:

I couldn't be happier.

So you order 10 of them and you didn't think it would screw it up for everyone else? we can see what we're dealing with here. I am hoping you order does get cancelled.

Mine got cancelled =( I for one HATE seeing post about people that order insane amounts of an item just cause it's on sale/cheap. It's like when I want to go buy some meat that's advertised and see some chump with a cart-full while the rack is empty. I jusy want to tip their cart over!!!!AWWWWW

Got a $25 dollar e-gift-card as well.

Got a $25 ecard too. Very cool of them.

Woooo Hoooo! Got $25 too! Thanks OP!!!

By redeeming this e-GiftCard, you acknowledge full satisfaction and
release of any claims against Target relating to this pricing error.

I imagine that there is a potential lawsuit here that Target wants to avoid. I am surprised that there aren't more laws or precedents on this type of situation. Several states have laws about purchases at B&M since stores would deliberately put up a low price on a sign and then charging a higher price at the cash register when the UPC was scanned. The idea was that most people wouldn't notice and the store would make more profit. To combat this practice, various laws were put in place to deter defrauding the customer by semi-secretly changing the price. This case is a little different since the price didn't change from the product page to the checkout page and no customer was charged the higher price without their knowledge. Still, when things are vague in the legal world, always CYA.

Did any of you complain to target? I ordered also and have not received anything. bummer

Mistakes in price are not deals. This is not a case of Target baiting anyone. This has NO benefit to them, it can only be a detriment. The talk of lawsuits is silly. I mean, seriously? What if you put your car in Autotrader and they left off a digit? Should you be required to honor that price? The whole, "they charged me" argument it bunk too. Of course they did, they are trying to fulfill orders in the most timely manner possible. The ONLY way you have ANY legit claim is if they are denying a refund, which they are not. Every once in a while one of these slides thru, when they dont, just move on, no need to stir up so much ire.

ash =o)
