Amazon UK glitch sells thousands of products for a penny

21 Dec 2014 • engadget.com

You see, between 7pm and 8pm last Friday, listings on the website were affected by a price glitch, which discounted thousands of marketplace products to the insanely low price of 1p. … The problem was quickly rectified though and Amazon says it cancelled the “vast majority” of purchases that did go through.

Anyone who rushes out to jump on entirely too good to be true things like this is just a moron. You aren’t going to actually get that new iPod shipped to you for one penny. Someone will figure out the problem and your order will simply be cancelled. Duh.
