Am I the only one who doesn't know this guy is or what? He honestly doesn't look the part to me from the pics off of IMDB. Still excited though.

I do see your point, but it is hard to compare this to brick&mortar store. Amazon went above and beyond by giving the $25, even with people that got some of the underpriced books, yet some still find what they did illegal, or not right, since they didn't uphold their "advertised" price.

Maybe a comparable thing would be say a store put out an ad in the paper and and instead of 100.00 it said 10.000,  leaving the store in a huge loss if they HAD to sell all of the books for $10. Obviously the store would probably give some incentive to buy things around the store for the people that drove there, but to be pissed that you aren't getting that obviously underpriced book? Come on.

March 11, 2010 5:59 pm I'm guessing it took a little prodding from "unhappy" customers in order for Amazon to give that $25 gift card. Again, would you knowingly try and buy 25 cent comics from your comic book store if they had all their $3 comics in their database wrong? Would you call everyone up, saying you got a great deal at the store, they should go too?
March 11, 2010 5:45 pm Geekdom should be ashamed. I can't believe Amazon is giving gift cards to people who knowingly ordered books, GOT books, that were under priced and will lead to Amazon losing money. Purposely hurting a retailer that strives to be the cheapest option is something that I would feel guilty about. If your local comic book store cashier accidently rung you up for $5 for $40 worth of books, would you say something? Or would you run around grabbing 100 books, knowing that the cashier is making a mistake?
