Basically it's any item that says "See low price in cart". PS5 Console would probably also be 99 cents but it's OOS.

All orders are being cancelled due to a "technical issue"

I had about 20 orders canceled but I have 2 of each thing I ordered still without cancellation emails.
I went a little wild and ordered like 50 controllers
So eventually you are paying 8x50= $400 for shipping and congrats; you made the deal more expensive than actual original price! Hahahaha

That's easy to cancel because they have a strict 2 limit. I bet they didn't even have to manually review you. Once the system saw you had 3+ it flagged you for cancellation.

I remember getting Call of duty advanced warfare from Target like 6 months after it came out for like $5 and tax. The game was on sale for $45 bucks and I had to preorder a game for .99 and the discount took off $40. Literally just canceled the preorder and got a $60 game for $5 bucks. I BELIEVE
Not about secrets. It's about the fact that yesterday flippers went insane on this site buying up PS5 pre-orders. But hey, if you want to help them make every deal dead in 5 minutes for their financial gain, sounds slick to me.
But then it is about secrets. You would prefer the deal be kept secret from the community because you fear flippers. Flippers are always going to flip, and I'd rather risk flippers and cancellation than not share with the community. It's one thing if someone comes me to and says "Hey, here's a deal, don't tell anybody", then I preserve their confidence, and I'll grumble. But if I find a deal or someone tells me without any pre-conditions, then I'm going to share it because that's the whole point of the community.
And really, in this specific case, if it is a pre-order that's months away, and multiple people saw this happening and placing orders, it's not a matter of if it would be posted to here, or some subreddit, or twitter, or whatever, but when. It's not like when it gets posted the following morning where orders that were placed the night before are already in process of shipping and it's too late or difficult for the merchant to cancel. Specifically for this deal I don't find that line of argument convincing.
I get where you're coming though, I just disagree. For me personally: I'm usually enjoying price mistakes whether they ship or not. I enjoy the "energy" around a price mistake as the community dogpiles on the deal, stores are overwhelmed, alarms are sounded, and stories are told afterward; I find that to be a beautiful thing. If I happen to get a shiny thing for cheap out of it... like the Yoshi Game price mistake at Target some months back (I gave away copies to people online who missed it), or the Target stacking coupon price mistake before that, or the Amazon Prime Day Camera price mistake last year, or the Xbox One debacle from the first year of Prime Day... then yeah I'm happier. If not, I just reach into my big bucket of popcorn and watch it unfold. As such...
In for cancellation.
