Nikon compact, only $AU100k

We’re all familiar with the syndrome: someone forgets to fill in the price field in a database, and all of a sudden, an on-line store is offering products at zero dollars.

The usual outcome is that a few users – or a few dozen – make the purchase, then angrily demand that the site honour the buys they made; the site will either do so and swallow the loss (if it’s massive enough), or not, and swallow the bad publicity.

Sydney on-line camera store Fotofriends has shown the good sense to have a default value in its database that can’t get it in trouble, but it does come up with odd results, as you will see below.

A hat-tip to the reader who tipped us off. ®
