Yeah they cancelled my order. The price (of a few cents) had been assigned by a software error. Amazon was most apologetic for their inability to ship the item, and compensated me with a $10.00 voucher.

On a related note, I found a copy of Adele Goldberg's 'Smalltalk 80: The Language' in a junk shop for 50 cents. When I checked Amazon, the listed price was over five thousand dollars (due to automated bidding bots from rival booksellers).
