Amazon is selling some really nice omnibuses for dirt cheap

I don't know if it's a glitch in their system or what, but some really nice comic omnibuses (which normally go for like $75) are being sold for $8 right now. If you're interested in some of these, you should definitely check it out. I'm definitely picking up the two cheap Daredevil ones and probably something else. I can also recommend Ultimates, Invincible Iron Man and Captain America if you haven't read those.

I just got Ultimates, 2 Daredevil volumes and Complete Bone (highly recommended to anyone). That's almost 3500 pages worth of comics for $40. Sure as hell beats $3 for 25.

Tomorrow: Amazon made a mistake. Charges you for the full price of each volume and you get stuck with a $2000 bill.

Yeah, it was reported as a glitch later on. They won't increase the price, I know that much, but they may just cancel the order.

That's crap if they do. Retail stores usually give you an item for the price it's marked as if it's marked incorrectly.

Despite older precedent to the contrary, it looks like they're going to honor the glitch prices. They are, however, reducing people's order to 1 of each item since tons of people were buying to resell. I'm happy they're going to do that, but I'd completely understand if they didn't. There's a difference between a TV at your local Target being marked wrong and each of these books there being up to $50-60 dollars off the normal price and all selling into the top sellers.

They cancelled my order. Apparently, they decided to honor things which caused everything to clear out and they don't foresee getting in new copies. That REALLY upsets me. If they couldn't honor people's orders, they really should've cancelled the whole shebang. Just completely canceled everyone's orders and say, "If you're still interested, those items are still available." I REALLY wanted to get that copy of Bone, and I'd have no problems paying the full price. But now, I can't even do that. I feel like I'm being punished for their mess up whereas if they'd have just canceled everything, we'd be back at square one.

And they gave me free money. Which seems to be how they fix all their problems. I don't really want the $25 Amazon, that's not why I complained. I just wanted to give you a heads up on how your policy was more double edged than you may have thought. Now I feel kind of scuzzy like I sent them a letter to try and get money.
