Missy Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 This is obviously a huge mistake on the part of Amazon, but they're currently offering Absolute Sandman, vol. 1 for $14.99! When this ships in November, it will have a cover price of $100! My guess is that Amazon will not honor the current price, even if you preorder the book, but it's worth a shot!

James D. Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 They must have realized their mistake because there isn't a price listed there at the moment. Still, I would would have done my uber happy dance if that had worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm pretty sure they are legally bound to sell them at the price they posted, if you ordered one before they noticed the mistake that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Though I've heard they'll sometimes honor incorrect prices, the following disclaimer is posted on their site: With respect to items sold by Amazon.com, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

Chops Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 The way that sounds is that Amazon will probably contact people who pre-ordered at 15 dollars and say, "Ooops, we messed up, we can cancel your order, but if you're still interested we're going to need another 85 dollars."
