Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I just ordered these shoes for, but they changed the price shortly AFTER I got my confirmation. Anyone had experience in these situations? Do they honor the order or charge the new price? Because for $180 I don't need them, but for $25 he!! yeah I need 'em.

I used to frequent a woodworking forum where one member caught on to a major deal on a dovetail jig through an internet ad from a well known online retailer. The ad listed the jig for 200 bucks when it normally sells for around 400. He passed this on to several members not knowing the price was a mistake by the retailer. Several of us (probably 20) jumped on the offer only to get an email later insiting the price was erroneous, but we could have it for 10% off the regular price, because they felt bad.
One of the members was an attorney who cried foul and held their feet to the fire. We ended up getting the jigs for $200.00 in the long run.
I was glad it worked out the way it did, because like you, it was worth 200 to me but not 400.

If the ad said 25.00 when you bought them, that's what you should expect to pay.

I thought if it was an honest error in advertising the merchant was only obligated to honor the 'sale' price to only one customer and no more...... I guess laws vary from state to state...

I'd order 10 at that price.

Don't hold your breath on seeing those shoes at that price.
