:shock:

Do you think that price was intentional? Seems too good to be true.

Either way, I just ordered 250' of Planet Waves cable for $6.05 shipped to my door!

Thanks for the heads up man! I was just thinking about getting myself some nicer cables and this is perfect. Now I need to find some good connectors...

EDIT:
And why did I not buy two? What an idiot. :x I still may put in another order and pay the extra shipping because $12 for 500' of cable is insane!

Yeah - I just picked some up myself.

Thanks for the heads up man - I will not likely need to purchase cable ever again!!!

After being a doofus on the first order, I placed a second order. Then I thought to myself again "why did I not order MORE?!" so I put in one final order and will be stocked up on cable for the next 10 years. :lol: I certainly don't need 2500' of cable but it's coming anyway.

Too bad you can't go back and edit orders to save on shipping. Oh well, that's the price you pay for not thinking these things through I guess.

I bought a couple. I figure keep one for myself and try to sell the rest.

I'm half expecting an email in the next little bit saying my order has been canceled for some reason or another.

Price says $263.xx for me, which I am gonna guess is the real price.

Damn, I'd love to snatch some up.

Just placed an order ($6.45, delivered), but I won't be at all surprised if GC cancels all these orders. I'll bet the clearance price should have been $99, not 99 cents....

Damn!

Just got an email with this message:

"I want to be sure you know that this cable is priced per foot. The online description doesn't indicate that very well. I currently have 20ft in stock @ $.99 per foot. Please let me know if you'd like to continue with the order."

I was pumped, and now I'm sad... :(

Well that's pretty weak - but it makes sense. They ought to cancel the order, though, rather than lie about it since the listing is most definitely for the 250' bulk pack.

So are they just shipping you 1' instead of 250'? That is pretty weak.. I would totally jump on this.

I'm testing it now, just to be snarky. I have not recieved any such e-mail about one order for one bulk pack of 250' of cable.

Will I receive this e-mail for one order for ONE HUNDRED bulk packs of 250' of cable?

We shall see . . . order placed.

well the pop up window during the ordering process said the order would be fulfilled by my local guitar center, which for me is in OKC. so i think that they probably just didn't have much going on, got to my order, and were nice enough to email me me for clarification before completing my order. hopefully you guys don't get screwed and end up paying for it by the foot without a confirmation email like i got.

Haha, Dang! That'd be nuts. I might place an order just to try it out, too. I feel like they'll either hand out what they have on clearance, or end up doing a LOT of email correspondence to clear the air.

You should write them back and ask if the site's implication, then, is that the list price for one foot of cable is $379.99! :lol:

Well. We'll see if I can spare any . . . 25,000 feet of cable doesn't last as long as some people think!! :P

Oh damn it - I got all excited and placed the order before reading thorugh the whole thread. I already had plans for making/selling instrument cables to supplement my gear habit. Will post back if I get a similar email about the price being per foot.

I'll post back if I get that email, too. Haven't yet, though. It's clearly stating 250' bulk, but I guess we'll see.

I got the e-mail.......

Dear rmayer13@hotmail.com:

Message from Michelle B at Guitar Center:
Unfortunately, we are unable process your recent order due to a pricing error. Please replace your order online or contact us at your earliest convenience so we may assist in replacing your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.


ALso, glad to see they address me by my e-mail address, even though I clearly have my name on my account with them. Guess the world has gotten there.

Got the same notice. Glad to see that rather than the 'price per foot' e-mail which was a ridiculous lie. No problem . . . I was definitely trying to take advantage of a mistake and don't mind being called on it! 8)

I got the same one too.

We probably ruined some poor college student's day when those orders came into the shipping store (mine was OKC). He was probably on the phone all morning with corporate.
