They could be unloading these because of the ipad, most of this stuff will be avalable on the ipad for a lot less then $14.99, if not then this is a huge price mistake, I hope some orders go through.

I've had price mistakes cancelled on Amazon before on a cell phone. Honestly you just never know

I don't think the iPad has anything to do with these though.

In for 14 volumes. This will be the deal of a lifetime if they actually ship, but I'm not holding my breath.

It doesn't look like they are unloading stock since none of them are available. Most state they don't ship for 1 or 2 weeks which usually means they are not in stock.

That's what I think will happen. They will state that they did not get the stock. I've had this happen with some OOP DVDs that I've tried to order from them that had a 1 to 2 week availability.

The Omnbius books are extremely high quality, oversized printings with glossy ink, containing what is usually a large volume of books in one binding. These easily sell for $40 and up. The fact that the LIST PRICE for all of these magically went down to $14.99 rather than the real list price (usually at least $50 and up) being displayed with a massive percentage discount makes me think someone screwed up somewhere.

For example, Daredevil Vol 2 by Bendis has a $99.99 list price, retails on the high end for about $75, and can usually be had for about $45 if you buy on Amazon or if you buy from Borders with one of their large coupons.

It makes no sense to change the list price of such an item to $14.99, then discount that further to $8.xx.

Especially because when the Omnibus goes out of print, it will likely retain at least a value of $50ish. Previous Marvel Omnibus that have gone out of print easily sell on the secondary market for $100-200+ used.

I think its pretty clear this is a price mistake, its just a matter of whether Amazon will honor some, all, or none of the orders.

I ordered the same. I'm also kind of a noob, and don't read comics much. But damn this is a good deal.

ok, so say these are mistakes. why then has the price not been fixed (in over a day that this has been floating around on the internet) and why did prices on some of them go down? amazon is usually extremely quick to jump on price issues when there mistakes. this seems like it has been up far too long for it to be some kind of mistake.

Prices look like they are back to what they normally should be (most of them).

Looks like Amazon has caught their price mistake on most of these titles. I think it's safe to assume we'll be getting cancellation e-mails very soon.

I only ordered one in stock item . Its in the shipping process and cant be cancelled at least by me. I got The Mask Limited edition.

If you got it for $15 or less, it's still a great deal. If you don't want it though (and got FSSS), just return to sender and Amazon will refund you.

It was 14.99 when I ordered it. I have prime and ordered it last night. Im happy if stays at that price.

Tomb of Dracula Omnibus is still $14.99 but OOS for what its worth. I'd be happy just to get that one. We'll see.

Ordered a few omnibuses, but don't expect they will be sent. It's worth a try though.

Wow what a great deal. Congrats to those who got in. Looks like I just missed it.

Lotta people on comic forums are starting to get this from Amazon:

Weird that some people are getting their orders outright cancelled and others (who ordered multiple copies of single books) are having their orders left open but having the multiple copies reduced to one copy. I ordered single copies of the books I wanted, all remain open, 3 have shipped.

These all seem to be back up to full price, price mistake?

That's what Amazon is claiming, but how does a price "mistake" happen on that many items? It must have been intentional to get rid of overstock, but they got more orders than they expected so are now panicking...

Mistakes like this happen very easily. And with the size of Amazon's inventory, I'm surprised mistakes like this don't last much longer. I'm sure there are many mistakes in their system right now, but they aren't high demand items with fanbases and bargain sites talking up the glitch.

I ordered 5 books. They're all in "Not Yet Shipped" mode, & I expect I'll be getting the "oopsie" email soon.

i've yet to get my cancelation email.

I'm be surprised if any of these actually shipped.

As I posted in the comicbook thread, 8 of my Marvel Omnibuses have shipped with tracking numbers,so far so good.
