Well, It must be a mistake in thier database, cause it still shows up as $24.96 in the search results list when I search for "droid." I suppose we should have assumed mistake here. :) (When you go to order, it comes up as $54.83 as Todd says below.) (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)

Someone posted earlier today that walmart.com has the driod developer kit for $24.97! THIS IS NOT A LIE IT IS TRUE. When you do a search it comes up for $24.97, but when you click to order it the price is $54.97. YOU MUST CALL THERE 800 NUMBER TO (...)

Yesterday at about 5:30PM EST I ordered 2 sets, online at $24.97. I had noticed the 24.97 price on the search engine about 3 days ago. At that time they rang up as 99.97 (ouch!) I just kept checking and they finally came up correctly priced in my (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Incredible! Thanks to the original poster of this thread. I called Wally World yesterday after noticing the price discrepancy was still on their site.

(...) If you're waiting for that, DON'T, because they told me the $24.97 is the WRONG price, $54.83 is the RIGHT price. Sooner or later, they'll correct the Search price, and you won't get any at $24.97. CALL NOW and order them. -- Tom Stangl (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
