CBS News has reported on the Amazon Prime Day glitch that allowed people to purchase digital cameras and lenses for just $94.48 each:
On Amazon Prime Day, some customers ran into a glitch that prevented them from loading items into their carts. Others experienced a much more advantageous glitch. Several customers said they bought thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment for a mere $94.48. "Literally everything is 94.48. I have bought like 10k worth of stuff that was like 900 dollars total," one customer commented on a deal website.
Fellow customers thanked their Prime Day Robin Hood for the tip and started searching for similar deals. Many reported back in the comments section with good news: everything was $94.48.
A Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera, originally $548.00, was listed at $94.48 during Prime Day, one customer shared on Slickdeals.
A Canon 5D Mark IV, originally $2,799.00, was also listed at precisely $94.48 during Prime Day, another customer shared on reddit. Surely, these price drops were a mistake — and surely customers didn't care.
"Everything with the prime day tag on my account is 94.48. I just bought a 3000$ telescope for 94.48," one customer commented.
