Comment on 6pm.com's 1.6 million dollar pricing mistakeparent

Comments

In mid-2007, Amazon.ca listed Lisp in Small Pieces, an $85 textbook, for $3.95. A guy I know ordered it at that price and it was fulfilled without incident, so I posted it to my blog at http://xach.livejournal.com/133661.html - it quickly became the #1 seller on Amazon.ca for the day. Amazon cancelled the orders and gave everyone a $10 credit.

I tried buying a PSP kit that was mis-priced around Christmas time. They cancelled it and didn't give me so much as an apology or regret, citing their terms of service policy.

Also, what with the downvotes...

Technically, he did say "amazon.com" would never let that happen.
