I just picked up a pair for 60 shipped and called amazon to make sure that they actual had them in stock for that price. They guy said I am guaranteed to get them by the 28th. There are only 7 left!

I don't think they "fixed" it. I bet they just needed to unload a certain number of goggles fast and at that price of course they went quick, because now there's still 2 left at the 220 price when there was 1 left at the 60 price just a bit ago.

idk, I could see them doing that if the price was 120 or something, but 60 is unheard of

also notice where it says "sold by", at the 60 price it was "paragon sports", now it says "backcountry.com"

This happens on Amazon around the holidays. My friend saw a playstation 3 for 40 bucks and bought three. two days later his credit card was overdrawn about 700 bucks. They'll get their money.

When he called them up they were like yeah, that's not our fault and it's in our terms of use that we can retroactively change the price. They gave him his money back but he still had to pay the overdraw fee.

Dicks.

Just thought I'd through this out there that I saw these in person at the shop today, they're way sick. the field of view looked huge (can't speak from experience, I didn't get to try them on cause I was in a rush) and overall they just looked like banging goggles.

Depends on the store, some will give you the goggles for that price, some will send you an email that says you can either keep them and get charged the full price or cancel and they refund your money. I know backcountry depending on the item (a while ago they had the dakine double ski bag normal around 200) listed with amazon for $50 but amazon fed up when they took Backcountrys info and copied the wrong product code and price but everything else was legit, Backcountry sent out a bunch of boot bags instead of the ski bag. They offered a refund for the bag they sent out and free comped all shipping charges so that might be what your looking at.

On the other hand i know backcountry put up a pair of road bike bibs on their bike site for 0.07 a bunch of people got them for that price, for everyone who ordered before it was caught BC gave away 1 pair of bibs for free, if you bought 10 you got 1 pair completely free. so you never know what amazon and the other site will do. Good luck though.

Technically if they're selling through amazon they have to sell the product at whatever price they have listed if they have the product in stock.

I went through this earlier this year. My roommate and I found $1300 computer chairs on their for like $5 so we ordered a few of them. Turned out we got scrapbooking supplies, told amazon about it and the company didnt have the chairs in their store so we just got our money back.
