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. Popcorn

That was beautiful to read.

Lol you're nuts. This is different. Wouldn't surprise me if they delay cancellations because of how massive ordering was given that this was alive for at least 3 hours if not more.

But this won't hold. Guaranteed.

I'm in for the gift cards we will probably get though.

Well said. Regardless if this gets cancelled or not, this was definitely fun and thrillful for my friend and I. Would have never got to experience if this wasn't posted on here Smilie
