(DEAD) Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Collection $5.99 @ Amazon

[slavetotherave]

Ok, not sure what this is about... I placed an order for one but I am fully expecting it to get cancelled.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000767QTA/qid=1137858797/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4540285-5039218?n=507846&s=dvd&v=glance

But it couldn't hurt to place an order anyways.

[Darknite39]

Holy crap. Order placed!

[blucadet3]

me too...for one cause I'm not greedy and dont want to ruin it.

[mbs]

I gave it a shot (for one). Thanks, OP!

[slavetotherave]

Hmm... now should I delete this after a while so 50 people don't order ths 3 at a time, screwing us all over in the process?

[D.Pham00]

what the heck. doesn't hurt to try. placed an order.

[greatmuta3]

I placed my order but it says it does not ship until the middle of next month so will see if they honor the price

[TheMovieman]

The retail price is $9.98 so I doubt it's a mistake. Unless the retail price is one.

Too late. Someone already posted this on fatwallet. It's not getting any attention over there though.

[slavetotherave]

Yeah. I thought about it and figured someone else will probably find this and post it here anyways. Guess we just have to wait and see.

[HE Pennypacker]

Attempted it, thanks OP.

[lemieux66c]

I went and ordered one too. Hope it goes through. Missed out on the last deal because I paid through CC at Overstock instead of Bill Me Later. Thanks OP.

[Eric F]

Too late. Someone already posted this on fatwallet. It's not getting any attention over there though.Just because no one responds doesn't mean it's "not getting any attention". FW as well as DVDTalk has thousands of lurkers, and I'm sure this deal will be pulled very soon.

The retail price definitely is not$10.

[HE Pennypacker]

The retail price is $9.98 so I doubt it's a mistake. Unless the retail price is one.

The retail price is the mistake itself, I doubt a 6-disc set will be going for $9.98 retail.

[TheMovieman]

Yeah, I know. I looked at the used ones and saw that. And yeah, Amazon will cancel it by Monday.

[flix1]

I'm in.

[DarthScooby]

EVEN BETTER DEAL!

It's now 5.99...They actually lowered it from 9.99!??!!

[RichC2]

Giving it a shot, but don't expect much.

It's about $40 at Walmart, may just wind up with that anyhow.

EVEN BETTER DEAL!

It's now 5.99...They actually lowered it from 9.99!??!!

It's been $5.99 all day, people are speculating it's wrong because it was listed at $9.99 for Retail.

Ever since I got Now and Then, Here and There for about the same price, I've been hoping for another screw up from someone :D.

[HE Pennypacker]

EVEN BETTER DEAL!

It has always been $5.99, $9.98 was the MSRP.

[DarthScooby]

Ohhhh!

[Mountain Biker]

Thanks!

Well at the time, there were not many page views for the thread. Things have changed now. A bunch of people have posted they bought 5, one bought 15, and another bought 150 (if he is to be believed).

I hate it when people take advantage of deals/mistakes by buying them in bulk, ruins the fun for the rest of us.

[FARRELLCITYKING]

I'm in for one...
Well, let's all pray that it doesn't end up like the OVERSTOCK.COM fiasco

[slavetotherave]

I'm not familiar with the Overstock.com fiasco.. what all happened?

[sailor_moon]

I'm in for one...

I hope it does end like it did with Overstock.

But I don't think an Amazon misprice has ever been honored.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

thanx OP!!!

[GnX18]

Just gave it a shot! Crossing fingers.....

[biomekanik]

I'm not familiar with the Overstock.com fiasco.. what all happened?
Overstock had a similar price for the set and was a preorder and they ended up cancelling the orders. Overstock differs from Amazon by the fact that Overstock charges the cards at time of order while Amazon charges at time of shipment. The people who got their orders cancelled received a $5 gift for their next Overstock purchase, so at least something was gained from it.

[lareineblanche]

Ordered 1; ("ships in 3-5 wks")(?) shipping was 2.98 + tax--total= 9.66.

[spinning plates]

gave it a shot.

Yes, but apparently most of the people that paid with BILL ME LATER got their sets. It's only the CC payments that were cancelled.

[louiseb]

My BML account was credited and I also received the set from Overstock.

[bigt7117]

Thanks we'll see if this works!!!!!!!!!!!

[blucadet3]

And this is why we hate you. LOL.

[Myster X]

It'll get cancel. It's over a FW already.

[D.Pham00]

It'll get cancel. It's over a FW already.

psst...check out post #9 :p

anyhoo, this is also on slickdeals now.

[eau]

FW and SD effects will definitely kill the deal. Since it's amazon, it'll get canceled anyway.

Nevertheless, I gave it a shot just in case if amazon compensates the cancelation with a coupon :p

[SF4Nynah]

It'll get cancel. It's over a FW already.

Just for the record, it was over at FW first.

[eau]

Just for the record, it was over at FW first.
This thread was first posted at 7:54AM.
The thread at FW was at 8:15AM.

It seems like it was over here first :p

But wait...

The deal was first posted at AOD last night at 10:21PM :eek:

[ryuryu2949]

ordered two, thanks cleavey-dig.

[Sondheim]

I've been in the mood for some anime recently, so this looks like an excellent blind buy - thanks!

[runner001]

DEAD. Pooh!!

[Officer Don]

Too good to be true. Just last night I was checking prices for this as a gift for my girlfriend. Expecting an "Order Cancelled" e-mail in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

[tonymontana313]

FW'ers make me sick. Some guys on there are ordering anywhere from 5 to 20 sets at one time! Thank god I was able to get in for one but people like that are really screwing over those that just want to try the series out.

[Greg613]

Well for those of us that only ordered one, maybe amazon will honor those orders. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[biomekanik]

Yes, but apparently most of the people that paid with BILL ME LATER got their sets. It's only the CC payments that were cancelled.
I hadn't heard about that part.

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

Even if only 50% of the FW'ers who read the thread there had even made a purchase, and then all had limited it to a single copy, there was still ZERO chance that this would be honored. It is Amazon - they never honor shit when a bunch of people take advantage.

So the guy who ordered 150, he didn't screw you over any more than the guy who ordered 1. The guy who DID screw you over is the one who posted it to FW in the first place.

For the record, this deal was posted to the anime thread here long before it was posted to this thread or to FW.

Doesn't come up on mine

*prays i still get it*

[Sweet Baby James]

My order isn't even listed in my order history anymore.:( I knew that this wasn't going to happen. Oh well.

[TheMovieman]

Yep, mine was cancelled as well...

[renaldow]

No cancellation email, and it's not listed on my orders, either. I'm sending them a mean note! :lol:

[HE Pennypacker]

It appears my order has disappeared from their site as well. OH WELL though right? I wasn't expecting to get the set.

Got Damnit!!!

Again...it happened A"gotdamn"GAIN

*sigh*

[justbarelymovin]

I don't know why anyone goes into these deals thinking they're actually going to go through in the first place, especially since with Amazon they rarely do. You should start thinking of it in more of a, "Well, if it goes through, great, but if it doesn't, there's really no loss." It's not worth getting so disappointed over. I mean, sure, it would've been awesome had they honored it, but what are the chances?

Anyway, I got the cancellation e-mail just now, too.

[Knives]

:-(

[anewevil666]

Denied, round 2. So if the third time is, in fact, a charm, next price mistake it's totally going to happen for me.

[sheepy]

I ordered my copy through Target.com thinking it'd be saved.

No such luck =(

[Mountain Biker]

I just got off the phone with my lawyer, he thinks we may have a case. I'll keep everyone updated.

[flee]

Great, so I ordered 5 for nothing

[Darknite39]

Are you all seriously pissed, or just joking? I can't tell.

[victant]

Are you all seriously pissed, or just joking? I can't tell.

Definitely pissed. :mad:

;)

[HE Pennypacker]

Just got the dreaded email, ARGH!

[TheMovieman]

I'm not pissed. I'm not that big of a fan of anime, but I figured if it did somehow go through, great... But it didn't, life goes on.

[D.Pham00]

got the canned e-mail response too. oh well. there's always next time

[tofu]

Just got the email too. Oh well. C'est La Vie.

[ryuryu2949]

got the email, it was fun while it lasted.

[Sondheim]

It was worth as shot. :)

[Jake77444]

I knew it was coming, i was just hoping for a free $5gc like overstock did.

[TheMovieman]

Here's an update, on the Top Sellers page, they have the list price still at $9.98 but then a $38 Sourcing Fee... On the page itself, it's all corrected with the list price at $89.98 and on sale at $47.98.

I haven't been able to find an answer, what is a "sourcing fee"?

Haha you have no case..its not like a normal B&M store.
your laywer only says that so he can make a few grand off you chasing
a pipe dream.I think you must be new to price errors..avg person
moves on and dreams of the next one..

I think "How to recognize sarcasm" should be part of the Bush "No Child Left Behind" graduation requirements for high school.
