| | Posted: | | | | I was looking thru Amazon's Black Friday sales, first the TV and then Movies. For the hell of it I clicked on the high to low price and here is what I found: The Inspector Lynley Mysteries 4 - In Divine Proportion DVD 2 used from $99,999.98 Now I have that and it was a good watch, but $99,999.98, I must be somebody's joke. and Der Damon Und Die Jungfrau (trans. I think: The Virgin and the Demon) for $1,000,000,000.00. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

What's worse is you STILL have to pay $2.98 for shipping! Imagine if I import it here in Canada the total of taxes I will have to pay when it will cross the border... 99,999.98$ + 15% taxes (14,995$) + 5$ = 114,999.98$  I guess I will pass as it's my dvd budget for many many many years  |

This is probably the result of two or more price bots that got into a war with each other.
http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358 "book at $23,698,655.93 (plus $3.99 shipping)" LO, I like the shipping cost part. Interesting read, though. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | I got a response from the $1B seller: Quote:
The astronomical price currently is part of a system in synching an item we have created and posted to Amazon with our own database. There is a period of time after we post an item new to Amazon that our database can't see a sale. During this period we post the item such so it won't accidentally sell. Look for the price to go down to a fair level in the next few days. |

| | Posted: | | | | I think all THE decimal points just dropped into the wrong spot ... All his dvd's are two decimal points too many .. Norma Ray Used for 1799 .00 . or 17.99 ?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
