Is this price a mistake? (6D)

[Southtown57]

Canon 6D body only pre-order on crutchfield.

Canon EOS 6D (Body only) 20.2-megapixel full-frame digital SLR camera with built in Wi-Fi® and GPS at Crutchfield.com

Yes, that is a mistake.

 

[Southtown57]

Yes, that is a mistake.

I was going to say I thought the body was $2,100. Maybe they meant to list it as a 60D but it has all the 6D stats. So if I bought it they probably wouldn't actually give it to me at that price then lol.

Mistake or not, I just ordered I guess we'll see what kind of customer service crutchfield has. To be honest, I wouldn't begrudge them if they just cancel the order, but we'll see...

My receipt says 6D and WiFi, so we'll see...

 

[Southtown57]

See that's what I was wondering, if they would honor their mistake. But since they don't actually charge your card until it ships I figure they will fix the price then.

Quite possibly, but if you point out you passed up other pre-order opportunities to buy from them. For instance, I was about to order from Best Buy for the 18 month financing. Sooo...I would expect some compensation if they wait that long. I can't imagine they wouldn't figure out their mistake in the next day or so. If they do, an email explainibg the mistake should be immediately sent with the option to cancel the order...

Eh on high value items most shops will simply send a note apologising for the mistake and will mostly also cancel the order. Those with more advanced/free form payment options (at their end) will offer you the chance to upgrade the price if you want.

Some shops (and this might depend on the volume of orders they get for the miss-priced item) might offer you a small discount option by way of saying sorry (say a $5 money off coupon or something).

They fixed the price, did they send you an email?

Was just gonna say... I checked the price and it was $2100 and I thought "well... that's what I recall Canon announcing, not sure why everything thinks it's a mistake." Now I see in context that it apparently used to have a significantly lower price.

It was $900 with free shipping

No email as of yet. I expect they're deciding what to do. I'm sure they'll cancel the order, but you never know...

Being as its a Sunday chances are whoever is in charge might not be in till tomorrow. It's often very easy to forget that whilst the internet side of a shop is open 24*7, the physical working side of it will often only operate normal working hours. So there's a good chance you might not hear anything till tomorrow.

What was the price? It says $2099.99 now


OOPS! NM! I saw that now! Hope you get it!!!!

 

[RxForB3]

I was thinking the same thing about it being the weekend. But, apparently someone was there to correct the price.

What I found interesting was that if it should have been 2099, 899 is quite a typo. If it was with the kit lens (2899), I could have understood the typo of just dropping the 2. Plus, it said "after a $100 instant rebate." How'd that get there?
