(DEAD) Price Mistake: Planet of the Apes - Ape Heads - $5.92!?
This is obviously a price mistake, and it seems very likely they won't honor it, but some of you may want to take a chance.
Amazon marketplace seller Caiman has the Ape Heads for $5.92 (they retail for $179.99).
Ape Heads!

It will probably just take a long time to get your 5 dollars plus shipping refunded. This company is not one of the better on amazon. But take your chances if you like,.

Did a whois check on caiman.com

P.O. Box 662
Road Town, Tortola 33126

Sorry I do not trust giving credit information to a company with a PO Box address listed in the British Virgin Islands. Maybe I’m paranoid, but I’ll pass.

Caiman used to be much better. They advertise a lot of stuff they don't have, and never get. You wind up getting your refund a loooong time after they charge your credit card.
Their satisfaction rating has slipped to 90%, which really blows.

wonder why its not available @ amazon anymore. buying it through amazon would have been at least a money back guarantee situation whereas buying it through their own site doesn't.

I'm not sure why "Beware?" was added to the title of my post. Like I said, it's probably unlikely they will honor the price. However, there really is no risk. Caiman is notorious for listing stuff they don't have (particularly out of print items). I'll sometimes take a chance if the price is really good. I've gotten a few deals, but other times they will contact me to say they don't have the item and refund me. I think one time I got sick of waiting and cancelled the order on their website, and it was quick and painless. The nice thing about Amazon, is if can't get a refund from the seller, you can file an A-Z Claim and get a quick refund from Amazon.

Amazon Sellers and half.com folks should not advertise anything they do not physically have in hand at the time of the listing. These are supposed to be "used" items, despite the fact that they may be pristine and still in the shrinkwrap.

5 is correct... for the lifetime of your account. kind of strange, but i guess some people need a limit.
also: i'm trying to pick this up through caiman, and when i press "confirm cart" or "submit cart", it takes me to an error page. anyone else having this problem? is there another way to check out? i use IE, never had any difficulties...
