Nah, the blowback they'd get from not honoring the purchasing would be terrible. More generally, Amazon are one of the few companies who understand that short term losses can lead to long-term goodwill and profit.
So anyway, my prediction is that they will do nothing about your purchase.
- what_ever 7y agoEh, no one is going to stop using Amazon if Amazon didn't honor 2k camera for $94.
- giarc 7y agoYou're right. A few years ago Air Canada accidentally priced an $8000 flight pass for $99 or some low number. I bought two, as did hundreds of other people. Air Canada canceled them all and yet I still look up Air Canada prices every time I need to fly.
- inferiorhuman 7y agoEh, no one is going to stop using Amazon if Amazon didn't honor 2k camera for $94. Probably, but people might be disinclined to pay attention to prime day next year. It's definitely lost a lot of its luster now that Amazon mostly hawks their own cheap crap that nobody's that interested in. Me? I could see this easily being an accident that someone decided to let ride. Maybe they cancel a few orders, but I doubt they'd cancel most or all of them.
- what_ever 7y agoWell most of the people found these deals are the ones who will understand it.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 7y ago80 of those orders are over a million dollars. They're probably cancelling it. And very few people will give them "blowback" for not giving stuff away for free when the people "buying" it must have known.
- odensc 7y agoThey'll almost certainly cancel it. Pricing errors like this happen all the time on Amazon, there are whole websites/subreddits dedicated to finding them. Usually they just cancel it the next day and maybe give you a $10 gift card. Sometimes you get lucky and get the item, but the media's advertisement of this will probably exponentially increase the chance of getting your order canceled, unless Amazon has some crazy PR strategy.
- noidesto 7y agoSeems some are beginning to receive their gear.
- skinnymuch 7y agoIs that still happening? Do you have recent links of people getting gift card/credit regularly? Amazon seems to have stopped doing that largely for some time now.
