I have to object to the recommendation to fix an error that results in a "corrected" form that reads > 1000s of bargains here! The problem with a sentence that says "1000's" isn't just the presence of the apostrophe. "1000" is not a substitute for the word "thousand". It means "one thousand". "1000s" therefore is a nonsense construction, apostrophe or not, unless you're talking about years or other number ranges. The same goes for "millions", etc, as well as "hundreds". (This doesn't apply to 10; "10s of thousands" is acceptable and correct.)
