How much is this boxed set? - $4.99 or $0.99
How much is this set - really?
$4.99 or $0.99 ??? Has anyone bought this? It looks really very good. Oh, yes. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Born-T...born+thrillers Last edited by Dr. Drib; 01-17-2014 at 01:14 PM. |

At Amazon for me it shows $.91, at Kobo 4.99. Sometimes these price drop/match at Kobo too, and if you're lucky enough can use a 50% code on them to get for $.50... sometimes

Showing as $4.99 for me. IIRC this was on sale earlier in the week (in the US anyway), perhaps that's over now?

I just finished a chat with Amazon, and they're going to review the issue.
I was hoping they would simply authorize me to purchase it at the advertised price of $0.99, rather than the other, higher advertised price. |

It looked good to me too, so I started a chat with Amazon. I started the chat with
Quote:
After that, she gave me a $4.00 credit and then had me purchase the book again, making my net cost $.99. So I ended up with it for $.99, but it took a very long time to get it done. She had to leave the chat for long periods to find out what to do. |

I bought a copy and it says $4.99 but the sale is pending so might go down when it is final.

A little searching shows some of the authors were promoting the sale on this set last week. My guess would be it went back up, but they forgot to edit the book description.

Dr Drib, not sure if this lot takes your fancy instead (or as well as if you succeed with the first set):
Amazon Aus (maybe try other Amazon stores) 9 Killer Thrillers $0.99 AUD Quote:
