Amazon UK's Pricing Error Benefits METALLICA Fans!
June 18, 2009, 15 years ago
Andre Paine from Billboard.biz is reporting:
The UK Amazon service, Amazon.co.uk, has confirmed that a "pricing error" resulted in hit albums being sold for just 29p (47 cents).
Although Amazon.co.uk has aggressively priced its new MP3 store, with albums as low as £3 ($4.88), the massive drop on titles by METALLICA, COLDPLAY and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN yesterday (June 17) was a mistake.
"We can confirm that there was a pricing error on a small number of MP3 albums," said the statement. "This issue has been rectified. Despite our best efforts, with the millions of items available on our website, pricing errors can occur."
