Confused????

Out of curiosity I went on www.apathletics.com to check it out. They must have a lot of mistakes online or fantastic prices. I purchased the Diamond umpire equipment bag on wheels for only $50 which is regularly $130+. I also purchased a Wilson platinum CP and the matching shins with coolmax lining for also only $50 each! I made sure I printed out my order and each individual item with description. I'm glad I did. The platinum CP and the other westvest they had are no longer on the site. I don't know if it was a one day sale but I took advantage. The bag and shins are still there at those great prices. I saved nearly $225.

Yeah, just be sure to come back here in a few hours and tell us how your order was canceled. Just like my 2 for $100 WV Gold order was.

It was worth a try, though.

p.s. did you order any of the $50 plasitc indicators too?

"Insert LAUGH TRACK HERE...."

I looked at the $50 indicators and I have to admit I was tempted... I'm holding out for the electronic ones that I can put on the same lanyard as my stopwatch. I printed everything up including individual descriptions with prices just in case they try to screw me. Which from the sounds of it they probably will.

I would gladly buy a $50 indicator if I could get a $50 WV Gold and a $50 Diamond bag........

[celt62]

My order status 3 days later is... Awaiting Fulfillment. They must be checking Ebay!

[Jboval]

I bet they won't cancel any orders on those $50 indicators and $50 umpire caps....

[yawetag]

I wouldn't trust him with my credit card information.

[celt62]

Well everyone was right ! I finally got a hold of him and he said he was canceling my order. Surprise, surprise! He blamed the "wrong" prices on one of his workers and more or less told me it was "too bad" and "what are you going to do about it"? Highly recommended... Fortunately my card wasn't charged. Like the old saying, if it's too good to be true then it probably is. STAY AWAY!

[Jboval]

I wouldn't of called and brought it to his attention. If he is dumb enough to list it for that, maybe he employs people dumb enough to ship it out without checking... everyone should of just kept their mouths shut and seen what happened... now he knows...

[slo8140]

Or maybe he should shut that part of his website down....seems like the simplest and easiest way to fix the problem.

[celt62]

The day after I ordered it was gone from the site. I told him that he was still responsible for the content and I didn't care where he got it from and to honor the order. I also said to him if a store makes a pricing mistake they still honor it because it's good business. He replied, "NOT ME" and hung up on me. Coincidentally the shins and diamond ump bag are still on there for $50. lol Go figure.

[slo8140]

I just went to the site for the first time. It is odd that 80%-90% of the stuff is correctly priced. It seems that most of the mistakes are with the umpire stuff. The guy sounds to have an attitude. I understand someone leaving you high and dry but you would think by now that someone would be able to fix the issue.
