A seemingly unreal online deal -- $200 Best Buy gift cards on sale for $15 -- was indeed too good to be true.
Best Buy Co. offered the cards on its website as the result of a technical error on Tuesday evening. The company realized its mistake and pulled down the mispriced cards from its site, but not before some enterprising customers snapped them up. Best Buy said it wouldn’t honor the pending orders.
