I thought a bit more about the midland deal and there is no way that sale is correct. It's supposed to be $79.99.
Good chance that on Monday when they start processing orders to ship they realize the error and cancel all of the pending orders. Especially when they see 100 orders for them.
If they do ship it's a great deal for us but unfortunately someone is going to lose a lot of money over a pricing typo. As someone who runs ecommerce sites I've had this happen to me and it sucks.
I can still recall in 1995 when JC Whitney posted a Cobra 148 for $59.99 or something like that in their catalog and I placed an order thinking I'd hit the jackpot and they canceled my order.

NorthernTool is a very big online outfit with 100+ retail stores. Could it be a mistake? Sure. But since they run their own site I would hope they have some sort of sanity check on their own pricing. Like if something is marked down 90% is gets flagged. If they cancel the orders oh well.
I think it's just as likely Midland is stuck with warehouses full of these old school style AM rigs that where meant to go to someone like K-Mart or Sears. And now they have cool new stuff coming down the pike
Tune in next week to see what happens.. Same bat time same bat channel!

- They canceled my order for 10 of them and refunded my money so although the ad was real it was a mistake.
