I find it interesting that in the midst of the million-pound electronic products, there is a notebook (as in paper kind, not a laptop) costing £7.37. Rather confused as to how that gets there...

If you check its page one of the other sellers is listing it for £999,999.

For those confused on the notebook, check the full seller list. Unfortunately, Amazon's sorting and filtering algorithms are non-obvious when multiple sellers are involved.

Someone's test data is showing.

That's an incredibly steep price for a Test CE Product. I know a guy who can get them for half that.

That's what they'd have to pay me to wear that minging POS.

Anyone put that thing into his basket yet and checked out if it is worth the money?

One wonders if that is the max Amazon price, if you put in your basket and something else, does the number roll over and become negative?

It's most likely been set there to put off anyone from buying it whilst they have none in stock.

I think it's more likely that it's a result of their automatic pricing gone a bit haywire. I'd think that if the item was out of stock, it would automatically be marked as none available, not change the price to some huge number because you don't think anyone will pay that price. The link above does a pretty good job of explaining how their automatic pricing adjustments can get out of control.

IT's not Amazon selling the item directly, its from the Amazon market place. Which makes it likely that when ever the merchant put in a price they made a mistake.

I especially like that the postage is £4.98 (why even bother adding postage to that price?), and also that the product description mentions how the watch is "affordable".
