would you take advantage of this deal if you saw it?
what if you made a post saying you would participate in the amazon boycott, then someone sent you a link to a $1000 camera for $100?

I think hurting Amazon's bottom line is more important than boycotting.
i actually saw the original post on SD but didn't want that specific camera and didn't open the thread...now i hate myself lol (well i did before because i've seen people talking about it all week)
*i don't actually hate myself...just would have loved to jump in as I do actually need some new lenses...

Great news, still haven't bought anything from Amazon, and of course Bezos is scum. For my next trick I'll make a thread about how none of the billionaires who pleged money to the rebuilding effort for Notre Dame have actually given their cash. Capitalism! *jazzhands*
Only good part of Prime Day is if a price error/glitch hits on something you want. Bought a bunch of new release video games for under $10 the first Prime Day. Then traded Crash back to them for like $22 after playing it.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out this was all on purpose. Losing a few hundred grand is nothing at all to Amazon. People will remember this shit next Prime day. It's just advertising. Pretty cheap advertising actually.
???
That doesn't make any sense. Are all price glitches planned by this logic.
How does that not make sense? Every pricing "glitch" isn't real. Just like leaks.
Of course this could be real, I have no clue. Just saying, it can be used to drive traffic pretty easily.
I could believe this about Echo Show Dot Connect Fire Cubes being sold for 45 cents to clear the warehouse, but not those cameras.
You literally said they probably sold their cameras worth hundreds and thousands for $94 on purpose for "cheap" advertising.
My response was, that doesn't make sense.
How much advertising do you think a few hundred grand would get Amazon with something like banner ads or emails? Would it have more of an impact on traffic and sentiment or less? Also I said I wouldn't be surprised to find out they did it on purpose. That's not the same as saying I think they probably did it.
Absolutely. Camera bodies come and go, but lenses? A good set of lenses will last you literally 40 years if you take care of them.
But the odds of me being (1) a prime member and hunting for deals at 3am EST is unlikely, as I don't really need anything anyway. Had all of those things lined up, I'm sure I"d have some new camera equipment! lol
I would not have bought in excess of my own needs, however. Maybe a camera for my little brother who is actually in the market right now. That would have been a cool surprise. Not into flipping culture.

I should have followed that Prime thread but Prime Day deals have sucked the last few years and generally seem to be worse than Black Friday in terms of what I've been interested in. :[
This year.
This year.
This year. There's a dude in one of the threads who snagged up like 4-6 of them, at least from what I could tell in the picture and the orders that were on they're way (but possibly cancelled).
This will go down as the greatest price glitch of all time and I doubt we will see anything like it again. I literally walked away with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise for a fraction of the cost 🤣
Props to Amazon for not cancelling. I guess if anyone can take this kinda hit it's them lol

Did you miss the Target fiasco last year?
Everyone got 7 15% off coupons that stacked and they applied to everything.
For amazon its easier to cancel this stuff.
Remember on the place that best buy glitch that $2K - $1.5K TV's where $200 and people did in store pickup pictures of them in the car with the TV's because the deals were so fast by the time best buy corrected it lots of folks picked up their TV already.

Did those orders actually go through? I think most of my game related ones eventually got cancelled if I used multiple coupons. Also canoes must be brought up lol
Lol, was that the day that Walmart was just fire saling everything from TV's to Canoes due to price errors? I almost always miss out on these things, and often the hassle of reselling isn't worth it to me, but they are fun to watch/track. These camera's are some of the largest price errors I've ever seen though.
I did recently get in on that Target mistake where there were stacking 35% coupons if you used the Cartwheel app, ended up with like 2 Nest Cameras and 2 nest Thermostats for 75% off with a red card, picked up in store in like an hour and they caught on like 30 minutes later and started cancelling everything.
Anybody remember the Best Buy Galaxy S8+ glitch? That one was crazy too.
I sure did because this is the first time I'm hearing about it lol
