So let me get this straight, a company mistakenly advertises a product for a fraction of it's actual value (in fact a fraction of it's cost price to them) and you guys order 2, 3, and even 4 of them and honestly (?) expect BB to honor these orders?

You don't think that you're being just a tad greedy? And considering that the average leather jacket should last for many years, what were you going to do with the extra ones that you ordered, sell them on EBay for a fat profit?

Fukking hell, for 26 bucks you'd be lucky to buy a Yoshimura T Shirt, and you guys honestly think that BB has screwed you:o

Well, speaking for myself, I ordered one jacket for my wife and two (one of each style on sale) for myself. I knew it seemed too good to be true. I don't really hold a grudge toward Bike Bandit for cancelling the order, However, I suspect the cancellation was a result of a pricing error and not a "sold out of our inventory" - as they claimed in their email.

no not exactly. I didn't expect them to fulfill the orders.
I would however have kept all of the ones I ordered; 3 different colors for me and one for the lady friend.

that's funny, they told me it was a mislisting.

They also listed them in the "Clearance" section so I assumed maybe there was something wrong with them...

That's it mate, always listen to your momma! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
