It's Christmas in July for some Taiwanese consumers who purchased Dell monitors online at the incorrect price of $15.26 <P> The Taiwan Consumer Protection Commission Tuesday mandated that Dell fulfill orders for 19-inch monitors that were erroneously priced at approximately $15.26. The low, low price stayed on Dell's Web site on June 25 and stayed up for eight hours before the price was corrected to $228.84. <P> Not surprisingly, orders rushed in -- 26,000 people placed orders for almost 140,000 displays, according to CIO.com. <P> Also unsurprisingly, Dell refused to ship the heavily discounted monitors, leading to 471 complaints. The commission ordered Dell to sell one monitor to each customer at the $15 price, and offer "descending discounts" on additional monitors ordered, CIO.com said. <P> Dell issued an apology and said it will provide "reasonable discounts," that were not specified.
