    You know the old saying -- if a deal is too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.

    That's what happened to a major retailer's online shoppers Friday afternoon.

    Sears.com inadvertently advertised Apple's 16GB iPad 2 for $69, much less than the regular advertised price of $744.99.

    That low price got the attention of web shoppers and the deal went viral on Twitter and other social media websites.

    Many people took advantage of the unbelievable deal, though a Sears spokesperson couldn't give an exact number.

    Friday night, Sears posted a statement online telling customers the error was made by a third-party vendor and the deal will not be honored.
