"Black Friday" Kindle 2 for $ 89 sold on Amazon in a few seconds



    This year, the well-known and expected by many many sales period in conventional and online stores was the most productive for online stores. A lot of Internet companies laid out attractive products on this day at an attractive price, with a significant discount, which led to an influx of buyers who want to save money. But Amazon turned out to be the leader, which announced ahead of time that the Kindle 2 e-reader will appear in the bins of this resource on Black Friday, priced at $ 89. Let me remind you that the usual price for this device is $ 189, so you could save as much as $ 100. The sale was due to begin at 9 in the morning. And it began, and how!

    Exactly at 9:00 this device became available for purchase, and already at 9:00:02 it was gone. Why? Some customers think that Amazon simply tricked them into attracting a cheap e-reader to the company’s website and deceiving everyone’s expectations. There are such buyers who are even going to sue for such actions, such buyers really believe that the company was not going to sell the Kindle 2 at such a low price.

    Other buyers, who think more logically, believe that a huge number of potential buyers from different countries, who rushed to the Amazon website at 9:00, simply bought up the device in this couple of seconds. After all, it was not even announced exactly how many cheap readers would be offered - maybe several thousand, or maybe a couple of hundred. In this case, two seconds is even a lot. Of course, on the part of the company, it’s a little dishonest not to leave information about the exact number of available devices, but here no law seems to be violated.

    In general, we have one of the fastest and richest sales on Amazon in the entire history of the existence of this resource (if this is not so, please correct me). A few seconds - and a couple of thousand devices anyway. Of course, maybe the cunning Amazon put up not a couple of thousand, but a couple of dozen of such devices, at a cheap price, but it would be strange to suspect such a large online store, or rather, the largest, in such frauds.

    I wonder how long it would have sold about ten thousand and four iPhones, set, for example, at a price of three hundred dollars? Probably, even Amazon’s servers could not withstand the influx of suffering customers, and this would be the most unsuccessful sale in history ...
