I've bought several external HDDs from Amazon, mostly Seagate but most recently a 16TB WD Elements. Today they have a 14TB Seagate Expansion for $180, a much lower price per TB than the other available sizes. When I tried to check out it told me it couldn't ship to my address. I assume they realized the price is a mistake but what a weaselly way to handle it?

Edit> Now the price is $205 and my shipping address has magically become acceptable.

Edit2> I kept trying and today it accepted my order at $180. Got confirmation but I suppose they could still renege, tell me they ran out or something.
