Amazon is back to the primary seller at $74.99. I'm assuming Drillspot ran out pretty quickly. Let's see if all the orders ship.

This item is now #27 on Amazon's hand tool bestseller list. Needless to say the "order" button was hit a lot of times for this item!

I wonder if it was the wrong price and they took it down once they realized their mistake.

Oh well, probably for the best for my wallet. Though I might have gotten in early enough.

No worries guys. With the Euro falling in value there's better deals coming in the future.

Cancelled. That's two hot deals in a row that didn't happen. The recent Snap-On ratchet fiasco with the Florida scumbag was my last one. I wonder if the OP will get his set.

Post a link to that list please.
In order to be a bestseller they need to sell it.
I think I will complain to Amazon later.
Agree.
I wonder.

It was not a price mistake because the same price was listed on their website, but was shown as out of stock.
I saw a post yesterday about a pair of Knipex Alligators for under $10. At this point I am skeptical of this Drillspot operation.

It has dropped off the list, it is updated hourly and has been OOS for several hours.

No cancellation email yet - status says shipping now. I guess it is only a question of time...

I'm the OP and I too received a cancellation email this morning. I wonder who actually did get an order to go through?
If it was a pricing error, they should have stated as much in their cancellation email.
And as an addendum: I've ordered from Drillspot in the past, direct from their website and I've always gotten my product at great pricing and with super quick shipping. So in my book, looks like they kind of dropped the ball on this one, but nothing to blacklist them in my opinion.

Cancelled here as well, pretty disappointed to say the least. Why not honor the damn price when new stock comes in? Not such a Hot Deal...

What a let down...
I've owned an online shop before selling computers and computer parts rather than tools and I would never treat customers like this as it's purely terrible business and short-sighted.
1. If it's a pricing error, you honor it. You're not an Amazon.com or Walmart. Pricing is entered by one guy or a few people with one person ultimately responsible. If you can't enter a price properly, that's on you. However, this situation doesn't hint towards a pricing error from what I've seen.
2. If it's a sale with limited availability and you sold way too many, you either extend an offer to ship one at that price when new stock arrives, or issue a coupon. You can not offer a great deal such as this and not have real-time inventory to support the sale. If you offer a deal like this then you must be prepared to honor it if your inventory person isn't on top of it.
Also, I'm pretty sure most of us would have been happy with a $25 off $50 coupon and this would have accomplished two things: brought in a whole bunch of orders where you basically break even or take a reasonable loss, and also result in those who can't help themselves and go on a little spending spree as we're all liable to do on occasion when browsing for tools.
3. This will have turned off a lot of people to Drill Spot for a long time, or forever. By honoring the price or issuing a coupon, they would have displayed quality customer service and I absolutely guarantee they would make their money back over time from repeat business due to this positive reputation versus whatever losses they took from honoring the price/issuing a coupon.
As I said, extremely short-sighted and terrible business decision.

I made no effort to sanitize or professionalize my response but they responded with this.
