Barnes and Nobles.com cancelled my order for William Eggleston's new book Chromes. It was a good price to at about 220$ when it lists for about 375$.

My attorneys have been notified.
 
Amazon just strings you along. They send an email every once in awhile saying "Expected arrival is this date" and then another... I waited almost a year for one book until I finally just accepted they were never going to get it and cancelled the order.

What they did might be an affront to you, personally, but their actions aren't an affront to "photography".

Yep, did the same to me... sucks. Can't seem to find it for $345 either anymore.
 
Check the user agreement you signed when you registered with the site. I'm pretty sure there is wording in it about pricing errors.

I'm on another site, primarily related to music, and these pricing errors come up all the time. Sometimes Amazon/B&N/etc will honor them, sometimes they won't. I got a $250 Pink Floyd box set for $23 a couple of years ago. But my order for about 10 other mistakenly priced items the same day was canceled with only a pricing error message as an explanation.

I did not really think the statement through. Sorry. I was just excited to use the word "affront" in a sentence.

Still my lawyers are on the case.
 
And if your lawyers can't resolve anything you will have paid money for legal advice and will still have to pay the higher price for the book if you really want it!

I'd just walk away from this ... but of course it's your right to do as you see fit. :)
 
with how litigious this world has become I completely understand how you might think someone would really attempt to sue Barnes and Nobles over this.

and then BRAG about suing someone

;)
 
When I ordered some items on Amazon that were priced incorrectly (price was for quantity 1, but stated quantity 6) by the vendor (Adorama, who blamed a "3rd party lister error"), I got credit from both Adorama and Amazon, and got to keep the item.

I have no real relationship with B&N, but so far I am very happy with Amazon. I won't do business with Adorama as they tried to wiggle out of their mistake and were in contravention of their TOA with Amazon.
