Well, I wasn't looking to upgrade, but what the hell, for that price, I sure hope I don't just get an empty retail box:eek: :D

haha :-P. I've posted in a couple forums and already have 2 or 3 other people ordering one. We'll see how it works out!

The # of people that have ordered is now up to around 7 (other than us :)!)

Well, I was planning on holding out for GFFX or R350, but for that price I could probably sell it on ebay in a couple of months, buy the R350 or GFFX after the prices have dropped just a bit, and spend less money overall. Or, maybe I could just hold out for R400 now...

Probably an error. I expect an email saying that I can cancel my order or add $100+ to the price at my choice. Worth the time to try though.

Whew!.. I ordered a second 9500np at $159 for hacking into a 9700! Well, I ordered one of these too! Chances are I'll be able to either hack the second card successfully and sell this one, or sell the two that get corrupt and keep this... Hopefull out of 3 tries one will work! I've seen what this card is capable of in my hacked 9500... and it is Sweeeet!

Just noticed the price was 346 as well... Looks like someone over there goofed.

I don't think they can *legally* charge me for it before it ships can they? I didn't get a cancellation notice either.... did they charge your card?

I received the same confirmation email, and then later received the cancellation email. They charged my card with a temporary authorization, which is fairly common in online shopping. They "clear" the temp. charge when they ship the product. Temp charges don't affect your interest or payable balance for any given month until they clear. As soon as they cancelled the order, they also cancelled the temp charge.

You should expect to receive another email shortly.

As of now, I still haven't recieved a cancellation notice. At this point I would give them hell, since I'm going out of town and trusting that I'm getting a card from them in about a week it would bother me that getting one would be delayed yet another week. I ordered it just before posting here.... Bigus Dickus; Did you post and then order? It seems odd that your post was before mine, and you got a notice and I haven't.

I never recieved a cancellation notice, but I did check the status online. It was returned to stock. I emailed them on it a couple days ago... no reply. They deserve the review I gave at www.resellerratings.com. If they'd simply emailed me a cancellation notice I wouldn't have fealt compelled to rate them. It turns out they're ratings are now doing bad. What I think sucks the most is that they got my credit card number and I have nothing.
