If the seller is based in china or the product is not fulfilled by Amazon let the buyer beware he may have to wait/fight for his money back, and the likelihood of it shipping is slim to none.

Amazon 3rd Party Price Mistakes (scam) Master Thread

Link

This store just launched and has tons of mistakes.

For example

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWY1JS/?tag=cl03f-20
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A6HM9G/?tag=cl03f-20

These will never be honored, but you can hope for credit.

Post what products you are buying :)

Please be considerate to a new Amazon seller that made these price mistakes.

He will have to cancel all these orders, as there is no way he can fulfill them at these prices.

By canceling all these orders his ORD (Order defect rate) will go very low... and his future of selling on Amazon will be greatly damaged.

I suggest people not to be greedy / selfish on account of others just to get a compensation credit of a few dollars.

I would suggest anyone that ordered to cancel orders on their own.
