It's definitely been reported to them: since I happen to feel the same way
about exploiting mistakes as Chris does, I called up and asked what the real
story is. The rep I spoke to said that they weren't sure which price is
wrong, but that it had been reported last week, with a request that the
website be fixed.
I decided at that point that the error was most likely on the ordering page:
I know that, if *I* were in Walmart management, and someone told me that my
company was losing money at a rate of over a million bucks a year due to a
pricing error, it wouldn't matter whether anyone was on call or not. I'd be
on the phone to the webmaster, telling him that he could either come in
*immediately* and fix it, or come in Monday to pick up his pink slip.
So, a few kids are going to get something a little more mentally-stimulating
than toy guns and action figures for Christmas this year...
