Barnes and noble is selling pre orders that the do not have. Corporations need to be held accountable for their actions. You could spend hours on the phone bounced around from person to person and none of them can do anything!!!I have PRE-ORDERED 2 items in the last 2 months and have not received either one of them. First in early April release date April 22nd second I ordered April 22nd release date may 13th under the assumption that preorder was a guarantee to receive the item that's why we preorder.They gave me every excuse in the book. I ordered it and paid in store the day it was released. 1st they tried to tell me it wasn't released I pointed out that there's 100s of copies on ebay and book a million was selling it.. then a clerical error before they finally said "we sold out". I ordered it the day it was available!!!Bottom line is they are selling things they don't have.No big deal get a refund right?Well what that does is allow people to make promises that they can't make good on.So if a company pre-sales an item that they cannot guarantee and collects the money under the false pretense that you will get that item. The company is then free to use that money to build or invest.The problem with that is I didn't choose to buy stock in barnes and noble or agree to an interest free loan but that's exactly what happens. In the end what happens is I have no access to my money that they hold onto. Which in turn makes it so I am unable to obtain the item now because I didn't buy it somewhere else. Why would I? I pre-ordered it. Prices have soared on ebay and they sold out immediately.So barnes and noble takes the interest free loan and I have lost my opportunity to get the item.It's not even about the $30 it's about principle.
