What luck

My son was shopping online the other day. He came across an ad, new king size mattress $4. He knows it's a misprint, but what the heck. He ordered 4, $16 plus tax and free ship to his door.
A few hours later he gets a phone call. Sorry for the misprint on the ad. We'll send you a $25 gift card for your troubles and pointing it out to us.
In yesterday's mail he gets the gift card. As they are getting in the car headed to work a Fedx truck delivers 4 king size mattresses. He'll keep them and see if the store wants them returned.

They might have charged your credit card four them at real price....better check

So far he has the $17.12 charge and the refund on his account.

OK ........

Yea, that happens. They made the mistake with the incorrect amount and by shipping them. Not worth it to them to pay for the return either. Just be careful of the springs......

Wanna sell one?

Not sure of how long he will keep them to see if they want them back, maybe 2 weeks. I don't know what brand or style they are.
He asked how the auction goes for sales and at what price mattresses sell for. I know they try for 50% of retail. They charge 20% to sell items.

50% of $17 is only $8.50. Was gonna see what he wanted for one. Lol

Yup! I would be interested in a couple of price is fair! Not looking make a steal but a good compromise! Sign of a good compromise is when no one is happy. Lmbo!

No matter what the price is......its a hundred percent profit lol

He got a call this morning. They will be sending shipping labels and instructions along with a $100 gift card.

Good deal

Good deal for everybody involved.

Some folks see things like that and then get angry when the vendor admits that they made a mistake. They make up magic legal phrases that are supposed to entitle them to $4 king-sized mattresses. They are literally mad that a vendor would rather not be taken to the cleaners on a misprint. Frankly, it says a lot about your son's character. He saw an opportunity and took it, but remained above-board and honest when he didn't need to be.
