Dude, you have no case.

Not only is your alleged case devoid of merit, it's a screaming example of the need for tort reform in the US.

I have absolutely no doubts that Fictionwise never guaranteed that specific books would be discounted. They can't even guarantee you that a certain item will be available on their site, since ultimately they are just the retailer.

Nor, I expect, did they ever guarantee specific prices.

Legally, it is utterly irrelevant when FW knew that their prices were going to change, or how they notified you. Odds are also very high that within a week or two, all their prices will be adjusted and your wishlist, for example, will be restored.

And as Pilotbob (and probably others) pointed out, Fictionwise hasn't voided your membership. You'll still have all your benefits until your membership runs out.

There are no "damages" here, the very idea is patently absurd. All they've done is irritated a customer, which is unfortunate but perfectly legal. You may even have the option to request that they cancel your membership and refund you the balance.

So at the risk of presumption about your gender, and to quote the Supremes: "Why don't you be a man about it?"
