Another Amazon screw up, but some fun info, Absolute Sandman Vol 1

[joe_collector]

I bought 20 copies.

 

Like we all couldn't have predicted that.

[binarysunrise]

So...what's today's Amazon deal??

[Timulty]

The only reason I wouldn't buy Absolute Editions on spec is that most drop in price within a year. So, you might double your money but not much more. Though I think the Kingdom Come AE is probably going to keep a resale of $45 or so.

And yes, JC I ordered one. If they honor it great. I have no ethical qualms because proper administration of their site should have caught this. If a fool wants to be parted with their money, so be it. I do not suffer fools lightly.

I just got the e-mail that Amazon cancelled my order for one.

Ditto for both The New Frontier and Sandman. So, looks like Amazon bailed out. Well, at least they learned they made a mistake. Now, if they would just keep it from happening in the future.

[joe_collector]

And you people are surprised by this?

 

I have no idea how Mr UK Scammer here got his hundreds of price errors, unless there are far different consumer laws over there. Either that or he's BS'ing.

 

It's been a long time since Amazon.com or Amazon.ca honored one of these.

[MK Ultra]

Dillards would have honored it. Bought a leather jacket from them for $40, it should have been $100 or so. I say we all boycott Amazon!

[SignatureSelect]

No amazon didn't learn from their mistake because they didn't have to give any copies up so they didn't lose any money. I actually support people who order 30 of something priced incorrectly. They are taking advantage of stupid people and stupid people should be taken advantage of thet is the only way they are going to learn.

[Anfield Fox]

I got the same e-mail too

 

I say we all listen to JC from now on

[Crackandpresstoan11]

Did anybody's order get though on this? I just received an email telling me they are preparing my item for shipment. Only paid $14.99.

[Anfield Fox]

Nope. Actually i don't even remember them giving me a refund on my card

[JJBEE2001]

Current price is $62.37

[DKB]

Nope. Actually i don't even remember them giving me a refund on my card

 

Amazon tends to not charge you until they ship. So its likely you weren't charged in the first place.

[Pirate]

they cancelled mine within seconds of ordering

[Comicdey]

if they get a few orders, they'd probabaly just honor them....with the way the news spreads....and after hundreds or possibly thousands of orders....who's surprised here?
