Let's say you told your best buddy you'd sell him your house for a buck -- and he says "done - I'll take it".... a jury - should he decided to sue you for reneging on your contract - would find in your favor as the deal was surely too good to be true and he should have known that.

If you read the thread - there are many "questioning" the price and the fact that it might be too good to be true right from the get go...
My argument would be that it wasn't "too good to be true".. or even unheard of.. 50% off is not an unheard of discount. Now if it was $4.99 then a reasonable person would know that was a typo.. Toss in that TWO units were priced like that and I would think you would have a case.

Of course I'm not a lawyer.. but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once..
