Dell Taiwan accidentally pricedone 19 - inch monitor , normally costing around $ 150 , at only $ 15 , and obtain a thumping 140,000 order within the 8 hours it was live . Now , the Chinese governance is push them to honor the sale .
This kind of thing is n’t too rare , and unremarkably a ship’s company like Dell would either honor the price ( if relatively few orders were placed ) or offer some kind of deduction , so as not to , you know , go out of business . But the Formosan administration is now saying Dell must honor all 140,000 orders or face prosecution for irreverence of reasonable trade laws ( and no , we have no musical theme what fair trade has to do with this situation ) .
Dell has apologized and say it will compensate purchaser for the error , but they probably mean some sort of discount rate rather of a loss of millions of dollars . [ Channel RegisterviaThe Raw Feed ]
