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.
people have 100s of orders. this will NEVER go through
But this won't hold. Guaranteed.
I'm in for the gift cards we will probably get though.
