Sweet! I just ordered 3 (2 for me, 1 for my wife).
BTW, a different style is also on sale:

With my AMA 10% discount, this was the deal of the month for me.
Thanks 78CB750CAFE!

Ha ha, it looks to me like BB's advertising staff left a zero off the price tag, and realised their mistake when the avalanche of orders suddenly hit their website.

If 78CB750CAFE had just ordered one for himself and not told anyone else, they probably wouldn't have noticed, but when people started ordering them in two's and three's, BB would have realised that they'd made a terrible mistake............  ;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?"

no because I ordered like 4 and I know at least 20 other people that ordered one too.

IIRC, once you click buy, and they send you a receipt, it's pretty much like a contract.  It just really depends on how much we wanted to fight them.  I will ask the Consumer lady tonight.

I think crediting your account with 'bandit-bucks' is complete and udder BS! it was their mistake they should give you your real money back. You guys might spend the money on their site but it's the principle here that counts. They F'd up not you. I would at least expose this if possible.

I told my girlfriend about this last night and how I missed out on it.  She looked up the jacket and saw how cool it was and was bummed out too (she LOVES to get a good deal on stuff).  Then she saw this thread and started reading all the 'they cancelled my order!' comments and we got a pretty good laugh.  It was kind of funny, IMO.   ;D

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
