They happen at the very start of the sale. Prime Day started midnight west coast, 3am east.

BusinessInsider: Prime Day glitch leads to thousands of dollars of camera equiment for $94.50?
- Thread starter Chessguy1
- Start date
Yes, there's a large difference between 38 minutes and 45 minutes.
you think if that camera was valued at $100 but the glitch showed the "regular" price as $1000 (instead of the normal $100), they'd sell a ton of those cameras to people who didn't know any better?
i got $1900 worth of patio furniture and electronics for $800 that day. that was cool.

I got the a6000, but didn't realize it was all other cameras. Pretty much moved on after making that order to trying to find other deals. My cameras says like August to September so not sure if I will get it. They cancelled the keyboard price mistake.
I got a Nvidia Shield with controller for $71 from the Target glitch. lol
I don't have an amazon account but I do have alerts set up for price mistakes and have been able to snag stuff in the past. Most of the time it doesn't ship but every once in a while you get lucky, I imagine moreso with amazon because they ship things so quick.
Great news for Amazon, this story is all over the place. Much cheaper than an advertising campaign.
Come the next sale people will be buying prime and scouring for these deals.

With all this advertising, they better be putting this up again come black friday lol. I'm definitely not coming in the warehouse that day. Neither am I on cyber Monday.
While you're at it can you also tell him to give his employees a raise lol thanks.
Definitely feels like missed opportunity when you're in the industry and I need of these products lol.
I just saw that there was some incredible Sony lenses up for grabs. Goddamn. Congrats to those who copped!
I think most people actually did. Only heard of a handful of cancellations. Usually amazon catches these and cancels pretty quick but not this time. I got all my stuff in by Friday.
All but 3 of my orders have shipped. And they are still active orders that are pending to ship later this month/early August.
I'm right there with you. Literally every morning while it's probably childish, in my head I'm just screaming knowing how much I've missed. I've wanted new lens for a long time and there goes the opportunity of a fucking lifetime and I missed it. I fucking hate myself man.
Sorry for the bump, but just giving a heads up that my Sony a6000 just shipped! Wish I had known other cameras worked but I'll take this. I bought this blindly so does anyone know how this compared to my aging Canon T1i? Better? Worse? Side-grade?
I once ordered a, laptop that should've been over 1500€ for like 490. 2 days later, they send me an email about a pricing mistake and cancel my order.
Why wouldn't this happen here?

See above, they totally did that to me once.
Edit: Not only did I mess up editing, I also assisted in necromancy. What about the others? Do you all get your cheap products while Bezos cancels my orders?
Mine was scheduled for next week originally so I was surprised to wake up to a shipping notice. So hopefully yours ships early too.
You also missed the a7 series, a7r to a7riii, a9 and all the high end lenses for 100 lol.
Don't worry I missed out too. Shit suuucks.
My A7III order just shipped out after over 6 weeks, seems to have happened for many of the remaining orders. Honestly can't believe they honored it so far out from the order date, felt like at most they would honor it for a week or two while Prime Day was in the news then cancel the remaining.
Congrats! Yeah weirdest glitch I've ever seen because they didn't cancel the large majority of orders.
my camera has now switched from not yet shipped to showing up by September 10th. This is going to be great for my upcoming Europe trip
Awesome awesome. Mine has been September 24th for a month now. I got one already and giving this one to my friend who's birthday is that day coincidentally
These bumps hurt my soul
especially when wario64 took that day off for the workers, would've got it if he didn't take the day off
