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.
Or...imagine the money we could save if amazon had a beowulf cluster of these pricing problems.
Okay, I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
Haha! You said Iraq!!! That's funny because it sounds like stuff! WELL DONE!111!!!
If I posted an ad to sell my car at $12,000 and the newspaper printed it as $1,200 -- and I was the owner of the newspaper too -- then I would honor the error.
It's not like HP has to sell the unit at the low price, it's Amazon. They already bought the units from HP at wholesale. They, in turn, sell them to the public at retail. If they err on their site then they should honor that.
OH MY GOD!!
you've revolutionized online marketing, you limp dick! wow, if only the hundreds of thousands of computer professionals in the field had thought of that earlier. thanks for your contribution.
People in general care more about the precious pound than the American Dollar.
Why don't you ask your precious idiot president why the value of the dollar keep on dropping, compared to most other currencies of the world?
