Since amazon won't let anyone really get screwed it seems more like someone trying to play up the Sears WiiU glitch yesterday for price matching.

 

[pieman]

They get the shipping address, they don't get any credit card info, but really why bother it is a scam pure and simple.

 

[bombshell]

this

lol

 

[kulapik]

LOL at people saying it will get cancelled.

 

[AgeEighty]

Do third party sellers get your full Address, Name and CC info? maybe thats the point.

If they do, have fun cancelling your credit card.

They don't get the CC. I work for a company who sells third party through Amazon, and whenever someone calls to cancel an order they placed through Amazon we have to direct them back there to process it.

Now might be able to get Target or Best Buy to price match with the AmzonElectronics name.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Amazon has that info, not the retailer.

Well then I'm lost on why they'd be doing this. What's in it for them?

Ooooooohhhhh, sheisty.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

It's gone now.

 

[SerTapTap]

You'll get 2 PlayStation 2s duct taped together

That would actually be a steal for $80, if they worked

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Even with only shipping information, scammers will use and sell that info.

It's gone now.

Still around for me.

What they gonna do with it, ship you free stuff?

 

[DTLIONS1013]

Worth going to Walmart and trying a price match?

 

[Kiru]

Does Amazon do nothing about this guy ? How does scamming on amazon marketplace work ? Does he actually get to keep all the money and ships all buyers bricks ? lol

Hmm... maybe that was the purpose all along lol

 

[DryvBy]

Price cut confirmed.

 

[Yukiari]

There was one yesterday for 49.99 from another new vendor.

 

[brandonh83]

I would get this but $3.99 for shipping is outrageous.

 

[Broadbandito]

no

 

[gngf123]

Amzon pls.

But yeah I highly doubt anyone will actually get this.

 

[Chiggs]

Just ordered!

 

[CoG]

Either a scam or pricing error. Either way nobody is getting a console for $90. I just wanted to see if it would go through. They won't get your CC. I cancelled so quick that I doubt they will even see the order on the "AmzonElectronics" side.

 

[Moofers]

ordered and calling amazon real quick. brb with info

Yeah please do. I wanna know whats up.

 

[Flame Lord]

Someone who worked for Wal-Mart(I think) said that Wal-Mart was price matching third party sellers, though probably not knowingly.

Since the money is processed through Amazon he won't see a dime, or they'll be able to yank the money right back from the account.

 

[THEF3AR]

Hmm... maybe that was the purpose all along lol

Mind blown.

 

[Kayant]

Yup.

People are in for a big shock...

They have more than 1k of these in stock, which seems odd.

 

[Akzel]

Almost had an heart attack XD

I guess they could sell your info or use it for semi-identity theft. But they won't get your money.
