Price mistakes that actually came?

I get so excited when I spot a price mistake!

I don't even look at what I'm ordering.. for example, if I see something that is usually $100.. and is down to $30.. I just buy it whatever it is.

When it actually comes in the mail.. it makes me wonder.. was it really a price mistake? and the excitement disappears.

These are two recent purchases I got this way.

Recent Example #1 - Queens - DVD Box Set - Retail was around $120, it was at Overstock for $30.. I jumped on them.
Now... I don't even know who Queens are. I scratched my head on what to do with these.

Recent Example #2, this KitchenAid 12Qt. stock pot + heart mogu pillow. It was normally $150, but it was priced at $30. Ordered right away and actually arrived.

This stew pot is way too big for me and I never do cooking for more than... 2 people? The heart pillow is a little girly but very soft.

I need to learn to hold back myself when I spot hot deals.

I guess even if the price is low.. if I don't need it.. I overpayed.

But still if this happens again, I'll jump on it for sure

First of all it's Queen. And I'm sure you know who they are, they sing "We are the Champions."

They also sang "We Will Rock You" and "Bohemian Rapsody". Now if you have never heard of these, then you are really out of the pop culture for a while. But I'm sure you've heard of these. Damn I wish I got that Queen DVD set... I'm a big fan.
