      999999999999.9999999% whoever was able to place an order would get it cancelled by catch for pricing error.

        @spoon… You know your percentage above has no greater effect than 100%. Just saying…

        • bargaino on 19/08/2019 - 10:45

          He is saying that for every order placed successfully at this price, ten billion orders will get cancelled.
          That would represent a few years worth of orders for Amazon.

      Wait for when people receive the cancellation emails and then think they are entitled to a $20 gift voucher.

      Mine is saying (cancellation) "In progress"

      • episys on 19/08/2019 - 11:53

        Mine is just sitting as "purchased" with an order number - No cancellation pending status yet.
        My order was put through over 3 hours ago (about 10 or so mins after the post went up). Watch this space I guess.

        That's only for Australian stores though. I'd expect mini PCs to be cheaper internationally.

    Hi all,

    My name is Phil Kaseman from PS Home and Living. We are a seller on Catch Market Place. There has been a mix up with the EAN / Barcodes and I'm not techy, so excuse me if I don't explain this fully correctly. We don't even sell the ASUS products. The SKU on our end is for a Retro phone however somehow all these orders have come through to us.

    We are processing the refunds as quickly as possible. If you would like a GPO746 Retro phone, we can send this:) Otherwise please sit tight and we'll process your refund shortly.

    Regards

    Phil

      Phil, I'm sorry you got slammed by this. I got my refund. Thank-you. It's good of you to come here and explain, especially when it's not your fault. Hopefully you get some business out of this.

  • AssociatedPhillk @ pshomeandliving.com.au on 19/08/2019 - 16:00

    We sold about 200 of a product we have never seen, never heard of before we picked it up…wasting a lot of time processing the refunds..Here are the phones we sell…We believe a great bargain:) As you'll see from our website, we sell clocks, jewellery boxes and a couple of retro phones…certainly no computers!

      Only 200 out of the ~10k clicks .. thought it might go nuts .. but bummer about the timewasting .. hope you sell some phones !

      • crenn6977 on 19/08/2019 - 17:04

        I suspect 10k clicks were just people being hopeful it'd reappear!

    tentsubore Am I pleased? Not really. We've just spent hours processing cancellations for a product we have never heard of or sold…Would have much preferred this didn't happen…No one wins here. Not us, not the people who knew this was a mistake of some sort but still chanced their luck.

    Catch Tech team are looking into how this happened however I can assure you it was completely innocent with no malicious intent…

      Why the bold? Shesh. No one wins? For a few hours of you guys processing cancellations you gained a lot more exposure. I clicked on your Catch's website for the first time in years!

        Yeah but did you buy anything? :P

      Sure, I agree no winners. I was being mostly facetious and threw my hat in the ring as a game of chance with little to lose but I'm generally aware of the amount of admin that goes into a mistake like this. Less sympathy for larger corporates like HP.

      The comment was more addressed to catch and their poorly worded email which I still stand by and would imagine you would stand by too.

    • ssquid on 19/08/2019 - 21:51

      FYI, Catch was (and still is, even though it's unavailable) promoting the item in their ads: https://imgur.com/a/rFqQ269

      Might want get their tech team to pull the pin on those too.

    The bold was an accident…NO idea how I even did this.

    Everyone here seems really reasonable however I am getting some angry people through the catch messages threatening to take me to ACCC….good luck them and a big thanks to everyone here for being so cool about the mistake.

    Cheers,

    Phil

      You associated with Catch? Why doesnt your User ID show as Store or Associated?

        We are a catch marketplace seller. We are as much associated with Catch as we are with eBay. We pay them a monthly fee to list on their site and a commission on sales. No association really…I don't think… - Exactly the same as an eBay seller. Also, I never use OzBargain however when I worked out what was going on, I rightly assumed the was an OzBargain post. I have merely logged in with Facebook. I only came on here to explain the situation. If I have violated any OzBargain rules, I'll gladly sign out from this forum

              which is less than what catch has done.

      Don't worry about them. Unfortunately there are some real trashy people here who think they're entitled to the world. You have no legal obligation to honour anything and we really appreciate the time you've taken to come here and clear everything up!

    You will also find $10 credit in your Catch account to use towards your next order at Catch.com.au

    We sincerely apologise and hope you enjoy your next Catch with us.

    EDIT: Just checked, credit valid for 1 year.

  • RubenM on 20/08/2019 - 13:02

    $20 voucher, nice!

    I ordered one yesterday, but it smells of that 1c Razor phone I order a few months ago :(
