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

The issue is that it's showing two different advertised prices.

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:
The book at the followung URL, in the Book Description, says it's on special for $0.99. However, the Kindle Price in the listing is $4.99. Can you please help me get the $0.99 price?

http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Born-T...born+thrillers
She told me that I would only be charged the $.99 when I purchased it. I asked her to stay with me while I did. I was charged the $4.99. She then cancelled the order.

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.

Wow! Customer Service.

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:
9 Full-Length Thrillers - 9 Bestselling Authors - One Low Price - $.99 For Limited Time

MJ Rose - The Halo Effect
Michael Wallace - The Devil's Deep
Melissa F Miller - Inadvertent Disclosure
Rebecca Forster - Before Her Eyes
Melissa Foster - Traces of Kara
John L. Betcher - The 19th Element
Claude Bouchard - Vigilante
Luke Romyn - Corpus Christi
Nick Russell - Big Lake

Facts about the novels:

* Thousands of reviews and average ratings of 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 stars, even one at a whopping 4.7
* Hundreds of thousands of copies of each already in distribution
* Sustained Top 100 author rankings

The Blurbs:

The Halo Effect
The first book in the Butterfield Institute series featuring sex therapist, Dr. Morgan Snow who struggles with the conflict of preserving her patient's privacy and the dangerous and sometimes criminal things she hears. She sees everything from the abused to the depraved, from the couples grappling with sexual boredom to twisted sociopaths with dark, erotic fetishes and the Butterfield institute is the sanctuary where she helps soothe and heal these battered souls.

Vigilante
A vigilante prowls the shadowy streets of Montreal, ridding it of its predators while the harried police race the clock to stop the remorseless killer before he strikes again. But whose justice will ultimately prevail: theirs, or the vigilante's?

The Devil's Deep
A heart-pounding thriller that will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned, the Devil's Deep is a top rated suspense that travels from the hell of a long-term care facility to the rain forest of Costa Rica. And a crime committed under tropical waters, the dive known as El Bajo del Diablo--the Devil's Deep.

Traces of Kara
TRACES OF KARA is an action packed, pulse pounding psychological thriller/suspense novel that features a determined killer who slowly loses his grip on reality as his carefully detailed plan starts to fall apart and a heroine determined to move forward with her life who now must reconcile everything she believed to be true about her family with the reality of their tragic past.

The 19th Element
Retired military intelligence operative James "Beck" Becker and his American Indian cohort "Bull" confront a homegrown terror cell bent on causing nuclear disaster in America's Heartland. The threat is real; the hour is coming; and despite Beck's warning, no one is ready to defend.

Big Lake
When an armored car hijacking leaves two men dead, Arizona Sheriff Jim Weber takes the crime personally, because one of the dead men is his brother-in-law. His hunt for the killers leads him into a world of sordid sex, deceit, and violence, with a suspect list that includes jilted women, a family of anti-government survivalists, and the beautiful wife of the richest man in town.

Before Her Eyes
In a remote mountain community, the execution of a grocer and the abduction of a world-renowned model leave the local sheriff searching for a connection, two killers, and a woman running for her life. While Dove Connelly sets his investigation in motion, Tessa Bradley escapes her captors only to find greater peril ahead. As her life passes before her eyes, Tessa struggles to stay alive, prays for rescue, and fights for her soul's salvation.

Corpus Christi
Jacob Hope unwittingly reveals that the gates of Hell have been unlocked and something long imprisoned has broken loose from its shackles to roam free upon the Earth. It cannot be bargained with, it cannot be defeated, it exists with only desolation in its heart... and it's coming for him.

Inadvertent Disclosure
In this smart,
gripping legal thriller, attorney Sasha McCandless arrives
in rural Clear Brook County to argue a discovery motion and finds a town
bitterly divided, as outsiders from the oil and gas industry and environmental
activists threaten to rip apart the community's fabric in a battle over
hydrofracking. Then the only judge in town is murdered, and Sasha must race to
find a killer before the town fractures beyond repair.
