I too picked up the Lemony Snickett books when they were erroneously offered for $0.00. Amazon honored the price. Also, about a year ago, there was a HUGE pricing error on the Twilight box set. I picked up the entire series for $5.47 - I will never forget the price because I was thinking about picking up the series for my Kindle after watching the first movie.

When I originally went in, the box set was over $35.00 - then one day it was priced at $5.47. As a matter of fact, I think it was BooksontheKnob that highlighted this (that's why I check koland's site first thing in the morning and about 20 more times during the day), not sure. I immediately went to Amazon, ordered the set and they charged me exactly $5.47 for the set, not a penny more. I think within an hour or two, Amazon realized the mistake and changed the price to its current one of $36.99. There were a select few that were quick enough to get it for the $5.47 and so many people afterwards kept talking about the fact they lost out on that particular deal.

That's why, as Karen says, when you see some outrageous price, scoop it up, never know if it is error or not. So far, Amazon has honored their mistakes.

P.S. Jumped on the Apprentice series also.
