Last week Woot.com offered new 32GB Nexus 5 phones for $149.99 plus $5 shipping. Sounded like a good deal and a lot of people bought them. They sold out. Then people started receiving their orders and discovering that the phones were 16GB refurbs instead. Pitchforks came out:

It looks like Woot got conned by their vendor. In the end Woot wound up giving everyone half their money back and a free year warranty if they wanted to keep the phones, or a full refund and a $30 coupon if they wanted to return them.
Posting it here because the Woot forum thread might be of interest. It's certainly full of drama.
