it had to be a misprint. its not like autozone is such a classy company. i went to my local store with the part number. it came up full price, but even their vendors were out of stock, so if they had any to order, it would be at full price anyway.

 

Yea they were out. I got the vendor number and called. They sent out the last batch they had to some autozone (she said call back tomorrow to find out which one). Going to call today and find out which autzone has them and give them a ring. I doubt I'll get them for that price, they'll probably just say sorry its a misprint.

 

I called them the other day, the guy at the parts counter said they were wheel covers.

 

Maybe they are but I tend not to believe what they say. Sometimes they talk out of their asses.

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

i gave it a shot online for the hell of it and it went through, got a confirmation email and everything. We'll see if they cancel it i guess.

 

you can tell that they are hub caps. there's no depth to them, they weigh 2.2 pounds, and they look plastic.

autozone doesn't carry rims anyways, from what i can remember.

 

If you google the part number it comes up as remanufactured wheels, with a price in the $280-380 range.

 

Not all of us are dumbasses, a lot are but not all.


If I had seen this I would've checked today, but I don't work again untill this friday.

 

There's one exception to that rule. If the listed price is so low that no reasonable person could possibly believe it's true, the store doesn't have to honor the listing. This is clearly the case here. No one could seriously expect that a wheel that should be $300+ would be going for $30. Now if it were on ebay and the price of $30 was listed over and over again...that's a different story.

This came up recently where a Best Buy television that runs for ~$999 was accidentally listed for ~$9.99. It was obviously a typo and the store returned everyone's money that insisted on ordering online (as if they thought they were going to get a 42"+ plasma TV for the price of a 12 pack of beer).

 

it is all done electronically.....i got 4 of them sent to my door the other day.....4 rear wheels but i got them all......$165 shipped lol....tried to get more but says they are out of stock lol.....

 

Maybe that's true but I worked in semi "high-end" store and the managers kissed *** soooooo much.

 

WTF pics? I cant order, been trying for like 3 days online and over the phone.

 

It depends on your situation. If you're a smaller company and rely on word of mouth business, it may be in your best interest to take a loss on that item and honor the advertised price.

Some people like to take "the customer is always right" a little bit too far. In my last job...I used to say "this isn't Burger King...you don't get it your way." People had no other option for my particular service, so I could get away with it.

 

Even at ~$160 brand new for a set, I dont think I'd buy them especially taking into account the cost of 18inch tires and... C5 wheels are gay.

 

I got an email today that my order was cancelled because the vendor is out of stock
