Right, I know there's something seriously wrong with this situation, but I'm baffled as to what. Help? www.amazon.com/b/qid=1344151017?ie=UTF8&me=A277FFQINMMKN2If it's been changed since then (as websites are apt to do), here's what the page shows.  Is it some kind of error? Is some company going completely insane? Is it (as I suspect) a very sophisticated phishing scheme? |

All I can think of is that it's surplus from some company that collects "broken" things from tech illiterates.

I checked out their details, though. Five star rating, all good reviews, etc, none broken. If they collect "broken" things and resell them, great, but a laptop for three fifty? A thousand dollar security system for five bucks? It's all sold out now anyway, at least the crazily priced stuff.
My theory is, perhaps, that someone in the company's tech division or whatever it is (you know, the person that sets the prices) decided to quit the company in style and have a 99% off sale. It would explain why it happened on Saturday (so they couldn't fix it til Monday), at least.

I see nothing wrong. In fact, I might pick some shit up for that price.

To tell the full story of what I've found... That one sale of many computer parts was a rare sale that they'd put up, for parts that are apparently lowered from their base price for marketing reasons. Most are sold out anyways, but there is no mistake, I shall say that. This seller sells cheap. You can see from the products that are constantly listed on sale at that account.

So they drop the prices so ridiculously low occasionally just for the sake of making people like them? Or getting rid of stock? If that's the case, I should have bought more.
