Wal-Mart blames price errors on technical glitch

NEW YORK — Treadmills for $33? Computer monitors for $9? The deals are too good to be true — even at Wal-Mart. It turns out they're not. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says a "technical error" caused certain products to be priced absurdly low or high on its website earlier Wednesday morning.


TOPICS: Business/Economy; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: glitch; price; technical; walmart
I hope that they do not work on the Obamacare website.

Apparently, it does pay to be up at 1:30 in the morning because that is when all this insanity started..the site was obviously hacked, you can bet all those credit cards were compromised somehow, but still, a deal is a deal :-)

They’re learning from Obama.

Communist coup? Glitch.

1/6 of your economy seized by Marxists? Whoops, another glitch.

I got 3 monitors for $28.14 AND I got paid to do it!

I was at work this morning when this deal was going on.

The order is ‘supposed’ to be delivered on the 11th.

I heard on radio news that the guy who was in charge of the programming on Healthcare.gov quit to accept a job in the private sector.

I hope he wasn’t responsible for this WMT glitch.

I bought some things during this glitch. I just thought they were getting rid of some stuff. My stuff is suppose to ship to the store for pick up. Won’t be upset if they cancel it but I will take it if they don’t.

After all, I don’t have an EBT card to get free food .
