Overstock.com mistakenly lists Call of Cthulhu for 25% of MSRP

For anyone if they notice this thread, apparently Overstock is switching up the Core Set with a small expansion pack. This is what it decided to try to give me: Call of Cthulhu, The Card Game: The Spawn of the Sleeper Pack Asylum Pack (Cards). There's actually a thread about this on boardgamegeek.com: Overstock CoC LCG | BoardGameGeek

It's effective and reasonably fast, though it can be annoying. Here's the transcript from my session:

Can you cite that?

That was what the online CSR told me. I decided to cancel my order anyway, however.

That wasn't the idea I got. The idea I got was that there was a system error and you ordered the set that they listed as the core set but will receive the enhancement.
Which is falsely advertised as 75% cheaper than Amazon who only carries it through a third party that sells it for $7.99.
