Ridiculous Amazon Prices - £5038.71 for a pencil case lol
Ask a Question
Just saw this on Amazon & just about spat out my coffee in hilarity!
Rilakkuma Pen Pouch .........
£5038.71 but at least you get free one day prime delivery lol 
And this is with 80% off the price already lol. Anyone else found these?
Imnotcheap not a problem....that’s over £15 grand.....for 3 pencil cases.....actually from Poundland lol
Only £5k?
I've got the hump now because I paid over £7k for this a couple of days ago 
I'm glad you can get free next day delivery if you have Prime. Paying postage on top of that price might put people off.
I have had some problems with overpriced things I've sent family wish lists for my kids things I've put in for £10 has jumped too £100 when they've looked and I look/feel terrible
laraquinn well Lara today’s ur lucky day coz it’s on sale and ul need to b quick coz only 5 left lol x
Be careful, everyone. I've read in several places that when items are posted for sale on sites like Amazon and Ebay and have ridiculously high prices like this -- way over what you'd expect to pay for even the highest-quality item -- this is one way that bad people on the Dark Web use to move around money from criminal activities. Best to leave well alone!
kfe202 Tysm for that! who in there ryt mind is even gona think for a second about paying that though!! Du think maybe if we find these we should report them to amazon?
skmoskmo212 You're so right in theory to want to report them to Amazon. We can try but the likelihood is that when Amazon takes down these things, the bad guys will just replace them with more of the same.
kfe202 yeah u r so ryt in what your saying! I have always felt that for the size of company Amazon is worldwide they should really have some sort of team who monitor what “sellers” are posting & making ridiculous prices up
skmoskmo212 Thanks for getting back to me on this. You're so right. Amazon is big enough to do something to monitor what's being posted and even if their efforts to clean up the site were not 100% successful, it would still be better than it is now with some ridiculous prices.
That's a bargain price. It's £1,533.29 cheaper than on here - https://www.homeloft.uk/products/sanx-rilakkuma-pen-pouch-box-type-pink
It is probably similar to Ebay where this also happens, The reason, I discovered, is that when an item is out of stock it is much cheaper and easier for the seller to alter the price to an amount that nobody in their right mind is going to pay, than to remove the listing and have to pay again to re-list. The price being changed to the required price when the item becomes available again,
davidstockport Thank you. I'd never considered this as a reason and yet it is so obvious and makes sense. 
sunny101 Exactly Obvious! (when you know the answer)- it wasn't too obvious to me either, until I saw the answer somewhere, it was as if someone had switched on a light in my head. 
and yet something else learned from LD .... thanks ... what a crazy crazy thing to do tho
BORDERJOE Not crazy at all really - traders who use online selling sites are charged to list an item, if they remove the item because the item is out of stock, when they get fresh stock they're charged again to re-list.
Wow that is a crazy price for a pencil case. I wouldn't pay more than 10 to 15 pounds on a pensil case and that would only be if I loved the design
They inflate the prices so they don’t need to delist out of stock items, because it costs them to list items again
Well I suppose it’s a glitch but not in our favour. We would all be looking for cheap glitches though.
Just wow 
lol this is on homeloft uk website that doesn’t at all look dodgy when you go on the site 
TinaKaur94941 I should think if they have it could only be for 1 of 3 reasons:
A) a mistake
B) more money than anyone could fathom, or
C)the psychiatrist was unavailable that day lol
RichardDoolin haha I think the zip is made of the purest gold the world has to offer
