amazon.com GLITCH!

I was looking for ebooks, and stumbled onto this:

Glitched price?

There is NO WAY that's correct... I hope :blink:

A couple other books from this author are like this, too!

That is ridiculous. If the other prices are the same for the other books, slight possibility that it's the real price.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, the used prices seem a bit more fair. I say this might be a glitch or typo for sure. I would report that or ask the seller if that's the real price.

As someone that sells stuff on Amazon (and similar sites) for a living, I've seen this plenty of times. As far as I can tell, what happens is some supertard has the only copy of a book (or in this case the only new copy) and thinks "this is super rare! it must be worth gadzillions!" and then puts some ridiculous price on it. Then someone else gets a copy, sees the huge price, and puts a similar price on theirs.

The other possibility is that someone was using an automatic pricing service (all good sellers hate these with a passion, because they artificially drive down the price of books) that basically did the same thing I described above.


The moral of the story is, its a damn book; just get a used copy. It will have all the same words in it.

Actually think the glitch is actually on the authors name - it's been mis-spelled

This guy actually has quite a few good books. If you notice, it's not Cook or Baen Books selling these, it's some other stores.
