Wal-Mart accidentally slashes prices, blames glitch




Treadmills for $33? Computer monitors for $9? The deals are even too good to be true — even at Wal-Mart. It turns out they're not.

Wal-Mart Stores said a "technical error" caused certain products to be priced absurdly low or high on its website earlier Wednesday morning.

Ravi Jariwala, a spokesman for Wal-Mart's online operations, said there has not been a decision made about whether Wal-Mart will honor the rock-bottom prices that some items sold for in error.
"We're still working with those details, and we will follow up with those customers," he said.
