Excuse me?!
Sears sells dog fighting videos?? I would say 'you're kidding', but I assume you're not.
And they defend that?!!

If the add specifies things like "prices valid from 1June - 6June" then it falls under the deceptive advertising laws and they can be forced to honor the pricing until they advertise a correction.
Without the clauses like the "prices valid from" clause, the ad is considered an invitation to come to the store, but with those types of clauses it's considered an offer to sale at that price.
If you'd like I can point to case law in CA where a car dealer advertised a 1995 Jag VP for $25k by error. The manager didn't see the proof sheet before the ad went out to correct it to a 1994 Jag (non-VP). Someone offered to buy it for the advertised price on the spot and they refused. The purchaser sued and won the case. The courts decided that it was the dealer's responsibility to confirm the ad and that since the ad was for THAT Jag at THAT price, it was considered an offer and had to be honored. If the ad had said something like "Jag XJ6's starting at $25k" they would have been off the hook.Mike

I don't buy from Amazon. Haven't for a while. I was annoyed at something they did a while back and decided not to shop there anymore. This thread just reaffirms my decision to not give them any more of my money.David

Not a spam.
Some stores, both local and otherwise claim they lose money on returned items and if indivuals return too many purchases, they then get black listed. And Amazon has joined that group of stores. I can see both sides of the action, but I think it's somewhat unfair to blacklist without due process. Just my two cents worth of....Comment

I still think some sort of warning would be in order. How difficult would it be to send an e-mail??"In reviewing your account activity, we have noticed an unusual number of returns and/or disputes. If this continues, we will have no choice but to discontinue your membership. Please contact us if further discussion is needed."
Seems only fair...Comment

I purchased from Amazon two times. First type was a deal with Bessey clamps, it was ok. The second time was a promotion of the new Hitachi router with a free rotary sander. Followed all the instructions to the letter, never got the sander. Wrote Amazon
3 times about it, got a it's out of our hands response. No more Amazon for me.No good deed goes unpunishedComment

I think Amazon, NOT Sears, Roebuck, and Co., is the culprit here:

Here is a crazy thought: log onto your amazon account and see if it is actually locked or has any notes on it.
We can come up with all sorts of conjecture and bad mouth amazon all day but until we know if this email is ligit none of it means anything.Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas EdisonComment

One way to bring a lot of attention to this would be to post your story on consumerist.com. I'm sure many people would want to hear about this. In fact, some companies have received so much bad press that they've set up special CS numbers for consumerist.com readers.I really am going to make something one of these days.Comment

LOML says if I got banned it would probably save money. No way, I would probably just go to local Woodcraft and buy my tools. I could drive up to Washington to the Grizzly store and load up my Pickup.
