Welp it appears there was an awful error on eCost.com allowing those hard drives to be bought for .42-.58 cents. I picked up one of them before the site got the Digg effect. Then later on after they didn't change it I used google checkout and picked up five more. Someone called them two hours before I purchased the last five and they said they were aware of the mistakes. Well if they were aware and did nothing to fix it, that is false advertising. They will be forced to honor the price of I will call the BBB, and email Google, and ask why they put such crappy merchants on google checkout. All and all I think I will get something out of it if not all six.

EDIT: It turns out they have no intention of honoring any of them. Posting something and leaving it on your website for days with no intention of selling for that price is fraud. The people at that company simply don't give a fuck. They're going to be swarmed with calls fromt he BBB, I don't know what they were thinking.. Here is a call I made to them for laughs.
