It's the right price. The 4 outlet mini powerbar is $131.

Some of the GHL prices listed in error on the website were much higher and some were much lower. I can't remember all of the details but I'm pretty sure the power bars were some of the items that were much higher.
I think during the error the STDL-4 was listed at $229.99, which was a mistake. The price you are seeing on Facebook ($131.90) is the correct price. My guess is that when they corrected the prices that Facebook has incorrectly picked that up as a sale, when in fact it was just a pricing correction.
In any case $131.90 is the correct price.
STDL4-4 - GHL USA
Powerbar 4, 4 channels Connected at the S-port of the ProfiLux. Compatible with ProfiLux Light and Mini.

If that is true (and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be) then it is this sort of thing that, IMO, will guarantee that they cancel the orders.
Why would they send out 14 dosers to one person as a gesture of goodwill?

They love me and I'm a really good customer?

No no, your unskilled assessment of the cases deemed them not applicable in your mind, and I personally wonder how much of that has to do with the fact that you don't want this to work out for the people who bought the stuff. You've already mentioned that you will be upset if the sales are finalized and completed.
The first two cases he cited created a precedent for the terms of a binding contract, where an advertised price was given, the buyer brought the funds and accepted the offer, and the seller(s) took the money legally binding the contract. He even went on to mention that there could be other laws out there that encompass the sale of internet goods that may be more recent/applicable to this situation, but that the two cases cited were pretty sound, and based on those two he made an assessment. It's also fair to note that he is an attorney in the state of Minnesota which is where BRS is headquartered and where any lawsuit would have to take place, he used a legal platform for lawyers to get the information, and all of that is well above my and your paygrade where this matter is concerned. I would trust a legitimate lawyer's assessment of laws in his own state than yours (or my own for that matter)...

You need to re-read the cases.
Whether he is an attorney or not is irrelevant, if he is stating cases that aren't related to pricing errors. I'm just glad he's not my attorney.

Ok, Im conflicted at this point. A serious moral dilemma i have going on here.
Id like to create a football pool of names of people who are upset for not purchasing tainted GHL units. I can put "Number of Emails to Randy/Ryan" on one side and "Number of Phone Calls to Randy/Ryan" Winner will be picked Monday morning once BRS phone lines open. Here is where it gets cool...........I think the winner should get a Stolen GHL unit from a LFS. (This should make it interesting). The winner should be contacted by DM only so that their Hypocritical answer does not cause them harm.
My hypothetical legal counsel may have to be @Mywifeisgunnakillme so that Im covered. And if you have gotten this far in this message and are actually offended by above content.....it is comic relief. If you don’t find it at least just a little funny....You are one of the upset and going on the pool.

You know, I'd have sided with you on saying that it's unethical to take advantage of the mistake (if it was a mistake) back when BRS was a mom and pop operation.
Now that BRS is backed by venture finance, you can bet they will do all they can to make the biggest profit they can. I feel no obligation to treat them like a small business.
Keep in mind that this thread has generated a ton of sales and web traffic, and they will probably still make a hefty profit due to the increased sales of these and other items. There is also the possibility that this whole thing was a stunt for advertising and to liquidate a product line that is their competition.

Right, and frankly that's the kind of behavior I would personally expect from a venture backed firm that I never would have expected back when BRS was a mom and pop shop.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Just because Ryan has a successful business and has grown it at large as it is doesnt justify unethical behavior towards him and his company.
If you truly believe what you posted then your ethics are relative.

Unethical behavior aside, is it his company when someone else owns a controlling share? Part of me feels like it's his baby and he has a stake in it, and the fact he's still working there means he cares about its success, but the other part of me feels like if it came down to Ryan and Bertram having a dispute, it will be Bertram's way or the highway...
