Sears is not offering a bargain on the iPad 2

John Moe Jul 18, 2011

Sears, official large store of your dad, has some egg on its face today after an advertising screw up on its website promised iPad 2s for $69. Sears has fixed the error and promptly blamed a third party, as is the American way. Customers are demanding that Sears honor the lower price but Sears is saying Ha, nice try, no way.
