All of these got back ordered because of the high demand.

Yes, I got a notice today.
I suspect that they meant $29.99 instead of $2.99 and sold many hundreds instead of a few dozen.

Nah, TigerDirect is liquidating assets so they're very motivated to sell. They just listed their inventory incorrectly, most likely.

1464 negative reviews in the last 30 days and counting. If that doesn't ding their defect rate...  No more listings, either.

Do you guys remember a couple of year ago when one of the big office supply companies sent out to government agencies such as schools a list of items that they could buy for 1 cent, and they started getting orders for entire truck loads of things like laser printers for $10?

No. But I like where this is going.

BTW I still haven't received my refund for the cables  :blank:

No, I was able to read it through, but they are stingy. Try plugging this into Google search:
