Amazon Sells IPAQs for $10
TomHoward writes "In a pretty huge blunder, amazon.co.uk have put the HP IPAQ H1910 (RRP about £300) for sale for just over £7.32 (plus postage and packing). It's very hard to get through to their site right now, but if you're quick you can have a look at their blunder here." Don't bother clicking through, Amazon has taken the items down.
but the postage and packing from the UK would have put me back whatever I would have saved.....
I wonder how many Mr TomHoward ordered before he submitted the article. :)
In a pretty huge blunder, slashdot.org have put the "HP IPAQ H1910 (RRP about £300) for sale for just over £7.32 (plus postage and packing)." story up for its readers to digest. It's very easy to get through to amazon's site, and the item ain't even there anymore. Don't bother discussing, Slashdot shouldve have taken the story down.
S.t.e.v.e.
This is just another form of advertisement. See how many vistors amazon.com attracts... even a slashdot story pops up :)
This kind of thing happens all the time. Anyone who frequents the fatwallet or anandtech boards knows about it-- they will NEVER honor prices like this. That's why their disclaimer includes things like "not responsible for typographic errors." But it's still sometimes fun to order 1,000,000 when the prices are accidently posted as 0.00.

When you have nothing left to burn you must set yourself on fire
Somebody made a list of how to sell something on slashdot and didn't include ... "#) PROFIT!" Maybe it's in the first few lines... maybe I just missed... oh no... oh god!! It's really not there! I'm going to faint, my world is in shambles. Excuse me while I try to piece my perception of this reality back together.
Its clearly a very slow news day when all you can do is wait for news.
LATEST: Shop puts wrong price on item. Corrects mistake.
LATEST: Person does something. Another person reacts.
LATEST: Dog barks at passer-by, cat sleeps on sofa.
Seriously, what the hell is this?
I had an intelligent reply but I spent too long looking for the £ key so I forgot what it was. Then I realized I could just copy and paste it.

Did anyone else read the headline and think that Amazon was selling IRAQs? Or was it just me?

And anyway, they would have to honour the price, not honor it.
I fully expect Slashdot to give me up-to-date news on typos around the world. No news source is better qualified to do so.
