Not everyone who contribute to the Slickdeals forum ’s treatment about this deal saw the price reduction when they logged into Amazon , and by the time many of them read about the pricing mistake the television camera bundle had long sold out . But other members presently noticed that the Sony bundle was n’t the only part of picture taking gear discounted to $ 94.48 . Forum member killroyriley shared , “ Everything with the select day tag on my account statement is 94.48 . I just bought a 3000 $ scope for 94.48 , ” while penis Eragorn expect , “ Just order an a7iii for $ 94 with outfit lens … They wo n’t ship and then change the cost will they ? ” AyoItsPat witness what seemed like the most inconceivable Prime Day pot , “ I got a $ 13,000 crystalline lens for $ 94 LOL waiting for the cancellation but that ’s like 99.3 % off . ”
Online pricing errors happen all the meter , and it ’s run into - or - miss whether a seller will honor the discounted price , or just cancel the order . Several members found that Amazon did the latter , but others instead got order confirmations and even notice about a product immediately shipping . A Slickdeals member who goes by SoccerMomDeals take Amazon actually delivered five of the $ 13,000 Canon lenses they ordered , “ WOW they in reality delivered the lens system ! I order 5 of the “ Canon EF 800 mm f/5.6L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras ” lenses for just $ 500 ! That ’s $ 65,000 worth of Lens ! Ca n’t believe Amazon actually delivered ! Now the question is what ’s the best path to get these sold ? Should I head straight to Adorama and see if they will buy them ? ”

The order went through and a twenty-four hours later the Sony a7 and one of the lenses actually arrived , but it remains to be seen if other item on backorder will be finally shipped as well , or just canceled .
One of the many items that people got for a steal.
FujiRumors also reportedthat a member of its Fujifilm X100 Facebook group was able to order a $ 1,300 Fujifilm X100F from Amazon for just $ 102 include taxes and merchant marine and , as of a couple of days ago , it was in the hand of UPS with a confirmed tracking number . Amazon did not straight off answer to Gizmodo ’s postulation for remark but it will in all likelihood cancel the huge majority of these order , particularly when downcast farm animal meant that orders had to be passed onto third - party sellers . But a few savvy Prime Day deal hunters distinctly hit the jackpot this year , and hundreds more are give-up the ghost to start paying more tending when Prime Day 2020 rolls around next year .
