Amazon Sells IPAQs for $10

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-click dept.

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.

    What if you were going to sell your $12000 car and the ad in the newspaper printed $1200 by mistake?

    Would you sell it for $1200? Doubtful. I love hypocrites who say a business should do what they wouldn't do themselves.

    What if it were a company you owned stock in and you were going to lose part of your dividend? Bet you'd change your mind then too.

    A company has no reason to "honor" mistakes, that's why they print those little disclaimers about erronious listings.
