Okay, I know it's wrong of me to laugh at their mistake, but...who cares! Very Happy

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000767QTA/ref=pd_kar_gw_1/002-4013901-3237625?n=130

They'll probably cancel all the orders made at this price, but, eh.
Personally, I'm just surprised they haven't noticed it yet; it went up in sales rank for DVDs from 764th to 2nd in one day! Anime hyper

Yea it's a price mistake but I jump on it anyways, normally when this happens you can attempt to complain (<----Insert bad word) and moan about how you bought thinking that amazon.com was a great online retailer yada yada yada. Normally they may ship it to you, this is for this instance. But in past exprience they will give you amazon dollars to spent which is fine by me, you make some money (in GC) and can put forth towards a new purchase. I hope it goes through thou......I missed out on the overstock EVA last time, and beside I need the new editions the old version with the shakes not going to cut it.
Till next time,

Delta Kiral

#1 now actually.

Probably an error, but I ordered three copies anyway. If they try and change it on you, I assume you can just play dumb and complain.

And if it does go through, then hoorah. I'll probably give the second to a friend and sell the third on eBay. Very Happy

I think they ran out of stock because it doesn't show the price. If they go through with this, they REALLY screwed themselves over.

*laughs* Those lousy bums. 9.9; I knew they'd do that, but it was still fun to try.

I guess I'll just have to rent it...someday.

Aw. I hope the Eva Platinum thinpak comes back eventually at its original price, since Amazon had it at a nice price before this mix-up...
