So, it appears that PC vendors are no longer hesitant to hike prices of their products, and Corsair is a recent example. While PC price hikes are common these days, what’s not acceptable is cancelling the already placed order without any valid reason. A Redditor just reported that he became a victim of such an incident after he placed an order for a Corsair pre-built system two days ago.

    They’ll almost certainly settle in small claims. It costs more to get the attorneys involved than the max scc judgement.

    The biggest barrier to filing in small claims is the time investment. Depending on location it’s only like $100.

      Yup. Small claims is great if you just want compensation for yourself. But it is not an effective means of influencing these companies. If you have enough people filing small claims for them to care then you have a class action which is not small claims.
