That's what I figured. Ordered two, see what happens. If they ship, fine, if not and my card doesn't get hit, no problem.

Even ignoring the people who ordered three or more of these, its likely thousands of people tried to order one or two of them. Getting to the front page of slick deals killed the chance of this getting through just as much as people ordering hundreds of them. My educated guess is that before the price was taken down, Petco sold over 2-3 times as many of these cages overnight then Hagen has ever sold since they made the cage (its just not a popular size).

Assuming the impossible happens and Petco honors the deal and hagen has a full giant warehouse dedicated to just storing large tall enclosures, it would be interesting to see how it would effect the reptile economy. This would be the single largest event that puts an increase in demand for animals and decreases the demand for enclosures. Cages would be on CL for $100, then $70, then $40 as people trying to flip these giant bulky cages find that every person who could possibly want one has more then they need. Sales of all mid to large size reptile enclosures at regular retail price would grind to a halt and it would be years before the prices on cages stabilize.

And to those expecting to be angry when their cages don't show up, try to look at it in perspective. We all knew this was an obvious error when we placed hopeful orders. Would you be upset if at the supermarket the checker missed the three cases of soda on the bottom of the shopping cart, but the person checking receipts at the door noticed? People make errors, and with online sales, its easy and devastating to do.

It's odd that in the email they are saying I have not been charged but PayPal says different.

Has anyone been refunded yet?
