There are always regular items at very abnormal high-prices on Amazon and elsewhere. But there are also some individuals who don't look too closely and click on buy. I wonder how many manage to get their money back when they discover their error?

It's done when something is out of stock and the seller expects to re-list the item when they have the stock, it avoids having to create a new listing. I have had one appartement available for one night at silly money on Booking.com in case I ever resurrect the rentals or to keep the listing live for whoever purchases the place.
Regarding your musing about getting money back, in most cases the seller would have to cancel the order anyway as they can't fullfill it, any reasonable seller would do so anyway but there would be temptation if they had just taken delivery of more stock.

That sounds a bit nonsensicale pcpa. I would suggest it is the seller's mistake in forgetting to convert from Hk$. Or Indian rupees, or whatever local currency.

I have to agree with pcpa, I have, many times, come across vinyl albums that I am seeking at prices that make no sense at all. 400 to 900€ is not the normal price of a record and when I have inquired about such pricing from the retailer have, without exception, been told the item was out of stock.

I can see that if the number is a round 400 or 900, it might be an out of stock item, but the silly number for the rack 4684.38€, well, where does that come from?

When searching the internet regularly it soon becomes apparent that totally ridiculously high/silly prices are for the reason stated by pcpa.
It follows that the price can be any figure the seller decides to use as its sole purpose is to discourage the buyer from selecting the product.

The seller probably has the same warped logic that I do, I always use a random high figure like that rather than one that might be believed/misinterpreted by someone drunk at the keyboard so not €490 or €489 per night but €24346798054554 which was just random number keys hit, actually quite hard when you have to hold down the shift key with one hand and only have one finger typing. |
