Amazon: hundreds of items at 1 €! Error or opportunity?

Furniture, barbecues, drills, beds, garden furniture and many other items sold for only €1? Aggressive sales? Not at all, it is simply an Amazon partner store that made a mistake when entering the prices on the platform. A somewhat strange error, moreover, to such an extent that one wonders if the vidaXL company did not want to “create the buzz” by putting its entire catalog at €1.

It must be said that since this “blunder”, we talk a lot about this home / garden shop on social networks. As soon as the dumpling is spotted, sites specializing in “good deals” such as Dealabs were quick to spread the info and thousands of orders were placed, some not hesitating to buy anything in a hurry.

I raided. We will cross our fingers. pic.twitter.com/6fXniZm6XJ

Cancelled order !

But of course what had to happen happened: the orders were all cancelled! It must be said that if a seller is obliged to sell a product at the displayed price, there is a safeguard in the event of gross error since a trader has the right to cancel a transaction if the displayed price is ” illusory” or “derisory”. In short, if your kilo of potato is displayed at €3.99 in a catalog, but they want you to pay €4.99 for it at the checkout, you have the right to demand the best price. But if a video game is displayed at €0.79 instead of €79, it will be more complicated to win your case. For these €1 items, you shouldn’t have too many illusions, but at Dealabs price errors and spotted blunders can sometimes “pass”. We let you watch their Twitter account…

Unfortunately all my items have been cancelled. pic.twitter.com/ZUn4huKhwu
