So does Amazon honor pricing errors? Probably not...

Generations Selects Titan Black Zarak for $41.54

No, I've heard about it quite a few times over the years. When something like this gets ridiculously underpriced, Amazon always corrects the error, and never sells at the erroneous price.

Okay, thanks!

I placed an order of course, but I don't expect it to be fulfilled.

I don't understand how Amazon gets away with no honouring the price. At work, unless we suspect someone has been deceptive (or a customer has just dumped an item in the wrong spot (which is really easy to tell)) we have to always honour the incorrect price.

This price of Amazon's would be the equivalent of a staff member putting an item on the shelf and placing the wrong ticket on it. Which has to be honoured.

Australian consumer law allows retailers the option of honouring the price, or withdrawing the item from sale until the price can be corrected... the decision then comes down to how much damage the wrong price is going to do to the business, verses the negative publicity of not letting people buy the item.
Even though it might be seen as a suitable penalty for a retailer making a mistake, if it is is a significant error (like pricing a $100 item for just $1), it could ruin a business if they had to sell all remaining stock at that wrong price, or could ruin that brand if on the books later it suggests that a particular brand is losing them money and they stop stocking it.

It wont be honoured I had a dragonball Blu ray box set similar price error got cancelled and you have to account for idiots ordering 30 of them, theres a chance to get credit so might as well order it anyway.

For online stores, in the case of a price error, their T&Cs will almost always state that if it occurs the customer will have the option of buying at the corrected price or receiving a refund. Being a pre-order it could be a bit different.
