Windfall

A few weeks ago, I was browsing through Intermix's website when I saw a pair of Cynthia Vincent wedges on sale for $0.00. The original price was $350.00!  Obviously it was a computer error and normally I would have paid no attention to it.  However, I'd just read an article about Zappos.com fulfilling millions of dollars worth of computer erred discounted orders to customers.  So, I thought I'd give it a shot and click on "Buy Now."  The transaction went smoothly.  I paid $0 for the shoes and $10 for shipping.  I received an order confirmation  and a shipping confirmation a few days later. The shoes arrived at my doorstep five days after I placed the order.

Cynthia Vincent "Mason" Wedges  

Okay, the style is pretty ugly and the color is not flattering. But they are super comfy (they are Cynthia Vincents, after all!) and I'm sure someone on Ebay.com will absolutely go Ga-Ga over them!!!  

FYI, the computer error has been fixed and the original retail price has resumed.  No discount, whatsoever.
